Reporting options

GPOADmin allows you to configure real time (for quick regeneration of live data) and historical snapshot report templates. All reports now run asynchronously; therefore, you no longer have to wait until one report has rendered before initiating a new report.

For detailed reporting options, see Creating Reports .

Customized views

Customized views

You can organize controlled objects into a user-defined container hierarchy. Each container has its own security descriptor in which trustees can be granted (delegated) roles to define access to the container, subcontainer, or simply a specific GPO within these containers.

Version Control Root Hierarchy should be used for administrator management as a means to organize many objects into a logical view based on their enterprise structure.

The Search folders allow you to quickly view controlled objects based on their state within the Version Control system. Search folders are used as an easy way for users to view the status of objects within the Version Control system.

For more information, see Creating a custom container hierarchy .

Offline GPO testing

Using the Export Wizard, you can test GPOs offline before implementing them. For more information, see Exporting and importing .

Custom workflow actions

You can extend GPOADmin’s version control system to incorporate customized actions based on your organizations existing workflow. This allows you to customize and control the deployment of controlled objects (such as GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, SOMs, and WMI filters) to meet your individual needs. For details, see Appendix: Customizing your workflow .
