NOTE: Group policy modeling report

The Group policy modeling report displays the resultant set of policies based on the selected simulation options within the modeling session. An application partition is created during the simulation to house the report. It contains a temporary staging container that will be deleted once the report has been generated. The service account must have permissions to create an Application Partition in Active Directory.

If required, you can create or delete the staging application directory partition:

1
Open Command Prompt.
2
Type:
ntdsutil
3
At the ntdsutil command prompt, type:
domain management or partition management
4
At the domain management command prompt, type:
connection
5
At the server connections command prompt, type:
connect to server ServerName
6
At the server connections command prompt, type:
quit
7
At the domain management command prompt, do one of the following:
•
To create an application directory partition, type:
create nc dc=staging,dc=gpoadmin DomainController
For every domain controller which might be used to run the Group policy modeling report on, type the following:
add nc replica “dc=staging,dc=gpoadmin” DomainControllerName
•
To delete an application directory partition, type:
delete nc dc=staging,dc=gpoadmin
