Examples

$roles = get-roles

$ace1 = New-VCAce AMER\Administrator $roles[3]

Set-Security -Path "VCRoot:\IE Settings" -Acl $ace1, $ace2

Sets the security on the specified version controlled object.

Overwrite a GPOs security filter

Overrides the security filter of the specified GPO.

Examples

To add a user or group:

•
Use the Get-SecurityFilter command to store the result in a variable.
•
Use the New-Trustee command to create a trustee object from the account name specified in the domain\account format and store this in a variable.
•
Add the trustee variable to the existing security filter.
•
Use the Set-SecurityFilter command and pass the new security filter.

$gpo = Get-Item VCRoot:\SOME_GPO

$filter = Get-SecurityFilter $gpo

$trustee = New-Trustee domain\user

$filter.Add($trustee)

Set-SecurityFilter $gpo $filter

To remove a specific trustee from the security filter, use the Get-SecurityFilter command and store the result in a variable. The result is a zero based list. If you know the index of the trustee you want to remove, use the RemoveAt command on the list.

$gpo = Get-Item VCRoot:\SOME_GPO

$filter = Get-SecurityFilter $gpo

$filter.RemoveAt(1)

Set-SecurityFilter $gpo $filter

If you know the name, you can first search for the trustee and store the account in a variable then user the Remove command.

$gpo = Get-Item VCRoot:\SOME_GPO

$filter = Get-SecurityFilter $gpo

$trustee = $filter | where{$_.Name –eq ‘domain\user’}

$filter.Remove($trustee)

Set-SecurityFilter $gpo $filter

Protected Settings commands

The examples in this section deal with some of the basic GPOADmin Protected Settings commands. Protected Settings policies contain settings that you want to control. They are protected in the sense that they contain and identify the settings that may not be altered by users. This provides an added level of security for the policies within your organization. If a user attempts to create, edit, or remove the flagged settings they are stopped.
