Undoing a check out

The user who checked out an object has the option of undoing the check out and reverting the state back to Available.

To undo a check out
1
Expand the Version Control Root node and the required container.
2
Right-click the object and select Undo Check Out.
3
Enter a comment and click OK.
To undo a checkout in the GPMC Extension
1
Select the checked out GPO and click Workflow | Undo Check Out.
2

* 
NOTE: If you undo a check out of an object with a version 0.0, the working copy will be deleted and there will be no record of the object in the Version Control System.

Checking in controlled objects

Once you have checked out an object and edited its settings (for more information, see Editing objects ), you have the option to:

•
Check in objects in their temporary state for further updates
•
Check in objects and notify Approvers that it is ready to be approved or rejected (For more information, see Requesting approval .)
•
Undo the check out (For more information, see Undoing a check out .)

A check in updates the history of the object within the Version Control system with the changes made while it was checked out. Included with any check-in is a comment and a unique minor version number (such as 1.1).

A check in does not allow the offline changes to go live into the enterprise environment as it must first be approved. Once an object is marked as Pending Approval, it cannot be checked out by any other user of the system.

Multiple check in and check outs are allowed to occur within the system without requiring approval. When a user checks in an object so it is available to another system user, the next user to check out the same object will be working with the current offline version consisting of all changes made to date. After all the users have made their required changes to the offline object it is processed by the approval system to determine if the changes are accepted to go live into the enterprise or not.

To check in an object using the GPOADmin console
1
Expand the Version Control Root node and the required container.
2
Right-click an object and select Check In.
3
Enter a comment if required and click OK.
If the GPO settings are flagged as being protected, users with the Modify Protected Settings right on the GPO in question, have the option to continue with the check in and override the blocked setting or review a report and address the issue. For details on protected settings, see Working with Protected Settings policies.
4
Right-click and select Request Approval if required. Enter a comment and click OK.

Working with objects pending approval and deployment

Only users with the Deploy permission can make the changes go live in the enterprise. The approval system safeguards the enterprise environment from any unauthorized live changes that could cause unwanted results. For more information on delegating permissions, see Configuring role-based delegation.

The types of requests from users that require approval are

•
Changes to offline objects that are required to go live
•
Creation of new objects
•
Deletion of existing objects
* 
NOTE: Using the Export Wizard, you can test GPOs offline before they are implemented in the live enterprise. For more information, see Exporting and importing .
NOTE: You can view a list of all objects Pending Deployment or Approval in the Search Folders in the GPOADmin console.

For more information, see:

•
Enhanced workflow approval
•
Changing the approval workflow
•
Withdrawing an approval request
•
Approving and rejecting edits
•
Deploying objects (scheduling and associated items)
* 
NOTE: User or groups added as an approver must have Read access on the object requiring approval. Validate and set the appropriate access through the Security tab.

Withdrawing an approval request

Any user who proposes a change to an object can withdraw their own request for approval while the change is in the Pending Approval state.

To withdraw an approval request in the GPOADmin console
1
Right-click an object in the Pending Approval state, and select Withdraw Approval Request.
2
Click OK.
