Accessing the GPMC extension

As part of its installation, GPOADmin appears as a tab in Microsoft Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). In the right pane, there are now two tabs: one for GPMC, and one for GPO Management. On the GPO Management tab, all GPOs are listed, regardless of whether they are under version control. The GPMC Extension has a toolbar for easy access to commonly used functions.

* 
NOTE: Most tasks can be performed using either the toolbar or the context menu.

You are automatically connected to the Version Control server selected during the installation process, based on the credentials of the currently logged in user. You can connect to other Version Control servers if needed.

For a full list of tasks you can perform using the GPMC Extension, see Group Policy Management Console extension .

To access the GPMC Extension
1
In the GPMC, expand the forest, domain and domain node.
2
Click the Group Policy Objects node.
3
Click the GPO Management tab.

Configuring user preferences

Through user preferences, you can set where to store your reports, where to send notifications, and the default script editor.

Registering objects

Registering objects

To start working with the Version Control system, the GPOs, starter GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, WMI filters, and Scopes of Management (Sites, Domains, and Organizational Units) must be registered. You have the option to make GPOs workflow enabled at the time of registration and to maintain the version history of objects that were previously registered within GPOADmin.

Registering and unregistering are recursive for objects when they are selected from the treeview on the left of the console. All child objects are included unless you individually select lower-level objects to register.

You have the choice of registering all items in the selected container or domain, all GPOs, all scripts, all DSC scripts, or all WMI Filters when you use the Register menu. When you register objects at the domain level, you do not automatically register GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, or WMI filters in the domain unless they are already linked to the Scopes of Management that are being registered. You can select WMI Filters, scripts, DSC scripts, and GPOs separately, using their respective folders.

* 
NOTE: Only users with the Register and Unregister rights can register and unregister objects. For more information, see Configuring role-based delegation .
* 
NOTE: Scripts contained in the SYSVOLS Scripts folder (and its subfolders) can be registered and will be detected by the Watcher Service and reported as non-compliant. DSC scripts are not monitored by the Watcher Service.

When an object is added to the system for the first time, it will be automatically backed up (stored) in the Version Control system history and labeled with a version of 1.0, unless another major version number is specified during the registration process. Each time a change is made (an object is checked in) a minor number is added. For example, v1.2, v1.3, and v1.4. When a change is deployed to the enterprise by a user with the appropriate role, the version number will change to the next major number, for example, v2.0 and v3.0.

* 
NOTE: GPOADmin works with pre-existing GPOs, scripts, DSC scripts, WMI filters, and Scopes of Management, as well as any other objects created from within the system.
NOTE: If an object is not registered in version control, the modified date displayed is returned from the live object.
* 
NOTE: You must have the Register right and access to the Live Environment to perform the following steps.
* 
NOTE: Before you can register DSC scripts, you must enable DSC support in the Server options and specify a DSC root directory for each domain that will support DSC scripts. This root directory serves as the starting point for the DSC script enumeration and deployment location. See Editing the Version Control server properties .
* 
NOTE: The Starter GPOs folder is not created by default. To create the Starter GPOs folder, open Group Policy Manager, expand the required Domain | Starter GPOs, and click Create Starter GPOs Folder.|
To register objects using the GPOADmin console
1
Expand GPOADmin, the Live Environment, and domain nodes, and select the object you want to register within the Version Control system.
2
Right-click and select one of the following: Register - This Object Only, - All, - Group Policy Objects, - Scopes of Management, or - WMI Filters.
3
Select the container in which you want to place the registered object, or create a new container, and click OK.
Once the objects have been registered, they are located in the selected container under the Version Control Root with the initial version number set to 1.0. They are now available to be checked out and edited. You can set the major version number to any number greater than 1.0 (for example to maintain a version number if you are migrating from another Version Control system).
Users with the delegated rights can link registered GPOs to Scopes of Management (Sites, Domains, and Organizational Units) and add WMI Filters. For more information about linking GPOs, see Linking GPOs . For information about adding WMI Filters, see Creating Group Policy Objects (GPOs) .
To register GPOs using the GPMC Extension
* 
NOTE: You must use the GPOADmin console to register WMI filters and Scopes of Management.

Registering GPOs using the GPMC Extension is not recursive. If you want to register all child objects at once, use the GPOADmin console.

1
Expand the forest, domains, and domain nodes. Click the Group Policy Objects node, and select the GPO you want to register within the Version Control system.
2
Click Register.
3
Select the container in which you want to place the registered object and click OK.
OR
Click New Container and name the container then click OK.
