Effortlessly manage GPO links with ADManager Plus

GPO management: Manage GPO links

Managing Group Policy Objects (GPOs) is essential for maintaining a secure and well organized AD environment. A GPO is a collection of Group Policy settings that are created using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) in Windows. They are used to configure and manage user settings, operating systems, and applications in AD. Managing policies and configuring settings for individual users and computers can be a time-intensive task for administrators.

ADManager Plus, a GPO management tool, simplifies the complex task of managing AD GPO links. With ADManager Plus, administrators can manage GPOs in bulk from a single console.

Manage GPO links

Policies within an organization are susceptible to frequent changes. These changes can make the administrator's job challenging, as they need to regularly update the corresponding GPOs. For example, a policy change regarding password complexity settings in the organization may require the administrators to have a more complex password than users, which needs to be applied to only a few child OUs within the users OU. ADManager Plus provides the following features to simplify these changes.

• Add or remove GPO links.
• Enable or disable GPO links.
• Enforce or remove enforcement of GPO links.
• Block or unblock GPO inheritance.

Manage GPO link order

Managing the order of GPO links is essential to ensure that the organization policies are applied correctly and in the desired sequence. ADManager Plus offers a user-friendly interface to view and manage the order of GPO links effectively.

ADManager Plus allows admins to determine the precedence of a GPO when multiple GPOs are applied to an OU, site, or domain. This ensures that the GPO with the lowest link order has the highest precedence.
