Offline GPO testing

Using the Export Wizard, you can test GPOs offline before implementing them. For more information, see Exporting and importing .

Custom workflow actions

You can extend GPOADmin’s version control system to incorporate customized actions based on your organizations existing workflow. This allows you to customize and control the deployment of controlled objects (such as GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, SOMs, and WMI filters) to meet your individual needs. For details, see Appendix: Customizing your workflow .

 

Configuring GPOADmin

Configuring the Version Control server

You must configure the Version Control server the first time that you connect to it.

1
Right-click the GPOADmin node and select Connect To.
2
Select the required Version Control server and click Connect to connect with the current logged on user credentials. Alternatively, select the down arrow in the Connect button and select Connect As to enter new credentials (domain\user and password).
3
To save the credentials, select the Remember my password check box and click OK.
4
In the Select a Configuration Store dialog, select Active Directory, AD LDS, or SQL Server for your configuration storage location.

The best practice is to use AD LDS as the configuration store. However, in large environments, SQL server is the recommended option. Quest uses the following criteria to define large environments:

These are guidelines and should not be considered as an exhaustive list.

NOTE:  
See Appendix: GPOADmin with SQL Replication to configure database replication for an SQL configuration store.
SQL Injection inserts malicious code into SQL statements which can lead to security vulnerabilities. To protect your environment from a SQL Injection attack, you can mark SQL statement inputs that are not permitted. See Editing the Version Control server properties. By default, we have marked the following inputs as not permitted. If you allow these inputs, malicious code may be inserted in a SQL statement resulting in security vulnerabilities:
Table 2. SQL inputs
