The Advanced Group Policy Management User Interface

Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) adds a Change Control folder to each domain displayed in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). In an environment where multiple domains are managed with the GPMC, each domain is listed under the Domains folder in the console tree. Each domain has a Change Control folder under it, and there is one archive of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) per domain.

Within the details pane there are four primary tabs, providing access to both GPO-level settings and domain-level settings and commands for AGPM. Additionally, there are Administrative template settings specific to AGPM.

• Contents Tab: GPO settings and commands and GPO-level delegation

• Domain Delegation Tab: AGPM e-mail notification settings and domain-level delegation

• AGPM Server Tab: Domain-level archive connection settings

• Production Delegation Tab: Production environment delegation

• Administrative Templates Folder: Central configuration of logging and tracking, archive locations, and the visibility of features
