Configuring active template delegation enforcement

Active Templates, which are used to grant specific sets of Active Directory® rights to an object, can be configured so that they are automatically reapplied if any of their permissions within the template are accidentally removed. Additionally, you can alert administrators automatically by email when an Active Template is repaired.

NOTE: After you complete the configuration wizard, you can use the Active Administrator® Console to manage active template delegation enforcement by selecting Configuration | Active Template Settings.

To send reports of broken templates to selected users by email, click Add to add email addresses to the list. To suppress the reports, clear the list of email addresses.

Configuring group policy history

You can set how often selected domain controllers are polled for Group Policy Object (GPO) changes. The polling interval is set to 60 seconds by default. We recommend a polling interval of 60 seconds as this gives administrators enough time to make a few changes to the GPO without creating new versions for every change.
