GPO creation - ManageEngine ADManager Plus

Group Policy Object creation

Organizations with large, complex infrastructures often rely on Active Directory (AD) to manage users, computers, and other resources. Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are essential AD components, similar to users, computers, and groups, that enable IT administrators to centrally manage user and computer settings, personalize environments, configure security policies, and do even more.

While GPOs can be created and managed using conventional tools like Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or Windows PowerShell, these methods often present significant challenges, including limited UIs, complex configurations, and steep learning curves.

ADManager Plus, an IGA solution with AD management and reporting, access certification, and other capabilities, enables IT admins to overcome these challenges and easily create and manage GPOs.

GPO creation involves multiple steps, from setting up a GPO and configuring its settings to linking it to an appropriate domain, OU, or site. Unlike GPMC and PowerShell, ADManager Plus, with its intuitive UI, allows you to create GPOs from scratch and instantly link them to an AD container.

Here are some perks of using ADManager Plus to create GPOs in your AD environment:

ADManager Plus enables administrators to migrate GPOs and their settings across AD domains and forests without any external configurations, tools, or scripts. With capabilities to handle situations when GPOs with the same name exists in the destination domain, it allows administrators to choose how to handle duplication during migration. The solution also allows GPOs to be copied with or without their delegation settings. Here are some key highlights of GPO migration in ADManager Plus:
