Abstract
Comprehensive change control and enhanced management of GPOs in a client-server environment is described. A Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) extension provides seamless integration with GPMC. The application or extension provides a secure archive for controlling changes to GPOs. To change a GPO, an administrator 'checks out' the GPO from the archive or vault. When changes are complete, the GPO is 'checked in' to the vault. Differences between archived versions and/or live versions are reviewed using GPMC-style reports. When a GPO is ready for deployment, it can be transferred to the live environment. At any time, one or more live GPOs can be 'rolled back' to an archived version. GPO data in the secure archive is maintained in XML files, greatly reducing infrastructure requirements.
