Removing persistent registry settings

Some GPO settings create registry entries when they are processed. When these settings are removed and the policy is processed, their corresponding registry entries may not be removed from client computers.

GPOADmin notifies you when potentially persistent registry values exist and allows you to remove them.

* 
NOTE: Because this option removes registry data when the policy is processed, you must take care to ensure that you do not remove settings set by other policies.
To remove these settings
1
Right-click a checked out GPO, and select Edit.
2
Click the Registry Cleanup button.
The registry settings that persist as a result of removing GPO settings will display. Settings that are unavailable will never persist as the Group Policy processing engine resets these settings before processing the GPO.
3
Select the registry settings that you want to remove when the policy is re-processed, and click OK.

Once you have a Intune objects checked out, you can edit its settings and select the user or device group to receive the profile and policies.
