How to create a GPO using GPOAdmin?
Description

Once GPOAdmin has been installed and configured, how do you use it to create GPOs?
Resolution
1. Expand Version Control Root
2. Right click the container where you want to store the GPO and select New | Group Policy Object
3. Step through the wizard until you get to the Settings page
4. Click Launch Editor
5. Edit the settings to the desired first version state
6. Complete the rest of the wizard. At this point the GPO does not exist in the live environment as a GPO
7. Repeat edits as necessary, checking in the GPO between each edit. This offers a rollback point for each edit if needed.
8. Once the settings are as needed, request approval. This is requesting approval to deploy the changes to the live environment
9. The GPO will go through necessary approvers, in the order they appear in the approvers list
10. When approved the GPO is deployed immediately, or scheduled for deployment
11. The GPO now exists as a live GPO
12. The GPO needs to be linked either through the GPO or the OU where the GPO is to be linked. The OU must exist as a registered object in GPOADmin for this stage. This will result in the checkout of the OU as this is where the link is stored, not on the GPO.
13. Once the links have been created, the OU(s) are submitted for approval, and are approved in the same manner as GPOs
14. Once approvals have passed, the OU(s) are deployed immediately, or scheduled for deployment. After this the GPO is live and linked and will start being applied
