Developing an RSoP Management Tool

If you develop a management tool to extend RSoP, your extension snap-in can use the IRSOPInformation interface to communicate with the main RSoP snap-in. IRSOPInformation enables the tool to connect to the appropriate namespace and query for objects in the RSoP schema. For more information about the classes and methods available, see RSoP WMI Classes.

Note

RSoP data logging is enabled by default. To disable logging, use one of the following registry keys:

 

For Policy:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\RSoPLogging (REG_DWORD 1,0)

For Preference:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MS\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\RSoPLogging (REG_DWORD 1,0)

These keys appear in the Group Policy UI, in the Administrative Templates node, at the following locations:

Computer Configuration\System\Group Policy\Turn off Resultant Set of Policy Logging

User Configuration\System\Group Policy\Turn off Resultant Set of Policy Logging
