Creating Desired State Configuration (DSC) PowerShell scripts

Desired State Configuration (DSC) extends Microsoft PowerShell to facilitate environment configuration – including your GPO deployment. Users with the appropriate permission can propose the creation of a script that does not currently exist in the enterprise environment and have it placed within the Version Control system.

Merging GPOs

To reduce complexity and limit the number of GPOs in your organization, you can select to merge the settings of two GPOs into a single GPO or create a new GPO based on the merged settings. During the merge, any conflicts will be identified so that you can address them as required.

1
Expand the Version Control Root node, and select two GPOs.
2
Right-click and select Merge | Merge To New Group Policy Object.

Restoring an object to a previous version

You can easily create a report that displays the historical settings for objects in the Version Control system or a comparison of versions to locate the differences. For more information, see Establishing Management for an Object and Creating Reports .

You can also import settings from any version in the history of the Version Control System, as well as links between Group Policy Objects and Scopes of Management. This effectively creates a roll back to an earlier set of parameters. You must have the object checked out to perform this action. You must also have the Link right to restore links. For more information, see Configuring role-based delegation .

Rolling back to a particular version of a workflow enabled GPO does not affect the live enterprise environment until it has gone through the complete approval process. For a workflow disabled GPO, the effect is immediate.

From this point forward, the basic workflow of GPOADmin takes over once again. You must check in and approve the changes to have them go live in the enterprise environment.

Restoring links to a previous version

You can restore the links between a GPO and its Scopes of Management, either to the last backup settings or to a specific history version that you select.

The affected Scopes of Management must be in the Available state, and the user must have rights to edit the SOMs, as well as the Link right, to restore the links. For more information, see Configuring role-based delegation.

Expand the Version Control Root node and the required container.
