  1. A Course on Planning A Group Policy Management And Implementation Strategy Prepared for: *Stars* New Horizons Certified Professional Course

  2. FILTERING GROUP POLICY’S SCOPE • By default, settings flow from site to domain to OU. • Three ways to control Group Policy settings inheritance • Block Policy Inheritance: • Security filtering • WMI filters

  3. SECURITY FILTERING

  4. WMI FILTERS • Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) • Used for queries and filters concerning • Hardware • Software • Operating system type • Can be linked to multiple GPOs

  5. WMI FILTER EXAMPLES Table 10-1 WMI Filter Examples F i l t e r S t r i n g T a r g e t C o m p u t e r S a m p l e W M I F i l t e r S t r i n g T a r g e t C o m p u t e r S a m p l e W M I All computers that are Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem running Wi n dows XP where Ca p tion = "Microsoft Windows Professional XP Professional" All computers that have Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk more than 10 MB of WHERE Name= "C:" AND DriveType = 3 available drive space AND FreeSpace > 10485760 AND on a C: NTFS partition FileSystem = "NTFS" All computers with a Select * from Win32_POTSModem modem i n stalled Where Name = " MyModem"

  6. CREATING WMI FILTERS

  7. GROUP POLICY MANAGEMENT CONSOLE (GPMC) • Free add-on tool that can be used to manage Group Policy. Installs on: • Windows XP with Service Pack 1 • Any edition of Windows Server 2003 • Can be used for: • Importing and copying GPO settings • Backing up and restoring of GPOs • Executing the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) snap-in • Generating HTML reports

  8. INSTALLING GPMC • GPMC is not on the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM. • Can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Web site. • In this course, gpmc.msi is on your supplemental CD-ROM. • Double-click the gpmc.msi file and run through the wizard. • Distribute through Group Policy.

  9. GPMC CHANGES ACTIVE DIRECTORY USERS AND COMPUTERS

  10. CREATING WMI FILTERS IN GPMC

  11. LINKING WMI FILTERS

  13. INFORMATION DISPLAYED IN THE GPMC INTERFACE

  14. DETERMINING & TROUBLESHOOTING EFFECTIVE POLICY SETTINGS • Resultant Set Of Policy (RSoP) Wizard • Group Policy Results • Group Policy Modeling • Gpresult.exe command line tool

  15. RSOP LOGGING MODE

  16. RSOP PLANNING MODE

  17. GROUP POLICY MODELING IN GPMC

  18. GROUP POLICY RESULTS

  19. Gpresult.exe

  20. DELEGATING GROUP POLICY ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL • Creation of GPOs • Permissions on GPOs • Linking of GPOs • Use of Group Policy Modeling and Group Policy Results • Creation of WMI filters • WMI permissions

  21. DELEGATING GPO CREATION

  22. DELEGATING PERMISSIONS TO AN INDIVIDUAL GPO GPMC Individual GPO Permissions A l l o w e d P e r m i s s i o n s A l l o w e d P e r m i s s i o n s C a t e g o r y U n d e r l y i n g P e r m i s s i o n s a n d E f f e c t s C a t e g o r y U n d e r l y i n g P e r m i s s i o n s a n d E f f e c t s Read Allows Read Access on the GPO.

Custom These permissions include those set individually using the ACL editor for the GPO. The ACL editor is invoked by using the Advanced button and shows the Security tab contents for the GPO.

  23. DELEGATING LINKING, MODELING, AND RESULTS

  24. DELEGATING WMI FILTERING

  25. PLANNING GROUP POLICY INTEGRATION • Create policies at the highest level possible. • Limit the number of GPOs created. • Create specialized GPOs for policies. • Disable unnecessary portions (user or computer). • Only apply GPOs to sites when settings are required on a site basis.

  26. RECOMMENDATIONS ON GROUP POLICY INHERITANCE • Limit use of the following: • No Override • Block Policy Inheritance • Security filtering

  27. PLANNING ADMINISTRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF GPOS • Determine which administrators will have policy delegation roles • Test policy settings • Document the plan

  28. RESTORING DEFAULT SECURITY SETTINGS

  29. CHAPTER SUMMARY • Name two methods you can use to filter GPOs. • How many WMI filters can be applied to each GPO? • What can you do with GPMC? • What two modes are available in RSoP? • List ways in which you can delegate Group Policy control.
