Registered status

Registered status

You can quickly see the status of registered GPOs, starter GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, WMI filters, sites, domains, and OUs. The objects will either be available for check out, already checked out, or checked in and awaiting approval to be committed to the enterprise. The options available to you at each state will depend on your specific role and permission. Registered objects will be in one of the following states:

Removing registered objects

If you no longer want the object to be available for changes, you can remove it from the Version Control system, as long as you have been granted the Unregister right. Unregistering version-controlled objects is now recursive, unless you select the lower-level objects individually.

To remove objects from the Version Control system using the GPOADmin console
1
Expand the Version Control Root node and the required container.
2
Right-click the object and select Unregister.
To remove GPOs from the Version Control system using the GPMC Extension

Unregistering GPOs using the GPMC Extension is not recursive. If you want to unregister all child objects, use the GPOADmin console.

1
Select the Group Policy Objects node and then select the GPO.
2
Click Register or right click and select Unregister.
* 
NOTE: You can view a list of Unregistered objects in the Search Folders in the GPOADmin console. This includes GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, WMI filters, and SOMs.

Viewing the live environment

As the administrator, you may want to allow users to see the live environment from within the GPOADmin console. This will, for example, enable you to delegate GPO, OU, or SOM object registration (and recursive registration) to specific users in your organization.

However, you may not want all domains within the live environment to be displayed to all users. Through the live environment properties you can also restrict which domains will display, be included in reports, and be available within the object creation wizard.

To permit a user to see the live environment
1
Login to GPOADmin as a GPOADmin administrator.
2
Right-click the Live Environment node and select Properties.
3
On the Security tab, add one or more user who require access to the live environment.
4
Click OK.
To exclude specific domains from being displayed in the live environment
1
Login to GPOADmin as a GPOADmin administrator.
2
Right-click the Live Environment node and select Properties.
3
On the Domains tab, select the domains to exclude and click OK.
