About this release

GPOADmin gives organizations control of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) across the enterprise. Built to augment the Microsoft GPMC, GPOADmin provides comprehensive GPO management with additional features such as offline editing, reporting, archival and restoration, version control, test framework, change notification and approval, and quick rollback in the event that an object change has unexpected results.

New features

As a result of ongoing research and development, and in response to customer feedback, the following enhancements have been made in this release of Quest GPOADmin:

GPO Validation enhancements

•
Administrators can now attest to the validity of a GPO without having to re-deploy it.
•
Attestation properties (Last Attested On, Last Attested By, and Attestation Due On) included on the General properties page for a GPO when Attestation is enabled.
•
Attestation notifications, which includes a Settings report, are sent when the GPO is attested or when the attestation date has expired.
•
An Attestation report that displays the current attestation status of all GPOs with attestation enabled or only those where attestation will expire within a specified number of days.

Report enhancements

•
New Group Policy Permission Check Report which displays the group policy objects where:
•
accounts other than those directly specified have the native GPMC Edit right
•
the Active Directory and SYSVOL ACLs are not consistent
•
the service account is not the owner
•
New Group Policy Size Validation Report which displays policies that have a SYSVOL directory size greater than the specified value.
•
The Policy Analysis report now includes the ability to export to .CSV only the settings that are different.
•
Improved performance of Group Policy Consistency Reports.

Additional delegation rights

•
Reject Change right which allows users to reject a change to an object and revert the object to its pre-request approval state.
•
List Folders right which allows users to browse the folders hierarchy/tree without seeing the content.
•
Request Approval right which allows users to request approvals with only a Read right dependency.
