GPOADmin 5.17 - Quick Start Guide

AD LDS storage method

Using AD LDS as the backup repository (storage method) the service account will need the following minimum requirements:

Member of the Administrator Role in the AD LDS instance. If using the command line tool or the GUI (ldp.exe), the service account will require the same permissions in AD LDS that it would require in Active Directory.

For more information, see Setting Permissions on AD LDS .

Network share storage method

Using Network Share as the backup repository (storage method) the service account will need the following minimum requirements:

•
At the Share level, Change & Read permissions.
•
At the Directory level, all permissions except “Change Permissions" and "Take Ownership.”

Authentication

GPOADmin supports both NTLM and Kerberos authentication by using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) configuration elements. By default, GPOADmin will use Kerberos.

* 
NOTE: If your environment is not configured to use Kerberos, GPOADmin will authenticate using NTLM.

Managing client connections

Managing client connections

GPOADmin uses the Default.Client.Connection.config file when connecting to a GPOADmin service. This file is located in the Connections sub-directory of the install directory. It contains the basic parameters that you can manipulate along with a link to Microsoft’s complete list of adjustable settings.

To change settings on a global scale, you simply edit this file. However, to adjust only a specific server connection, you need to copy the file, and rename it to the FQDN of the target server ensuring that you retain the .config file extension.
