Matthew, a strategic assistance consultant at Quest, provides a tutorial on using GPOADmin for editing Group Policy Objects (GPOs). He explains that GPOADmin operates independently from Microsoft's Advanced Group Policy Management and has its own client for modern capabilities. Matt demonstrates how to connect to GPOADmin using a restricted user account, highlighting the differences in access rights compared to an administrative account. He walks through the process of editing a GPO, emphasizing the importance of version control in GPOADmin. Changes made in the editing window do not affect the live environment until they are checked in and approved. Vinton details the approval process, which involves email notifications for approvers, and explains how GPOADmin integrates with email systems for managing approvals. After receiving approval, the user can deploy the changes to the production environment. Matt concludes by noting that this is a basic workflow, with more advanced features to be covered in future videos.
