1 00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:07,770 So let's see what it takes to do some creation deletion and editing of GPOs. 2 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:15,060 So I'm going to just go ahead and right click the group policy objects container and say new and I'm 3 00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:16,290 going to give it a name. 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,290 I'll call it my locked down GPO. 5 00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:24,960 And one thing to note is that even though, as I mentioned earlier, the name is not consequential in 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,030 terms of what matters in a GPO. 7 00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:29,100 It's really there. 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,800 You still can't through PMC create two GPOs with the same friendly name. 9 00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:37,530 You'll get an error when you try to do that. 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,570 In fact, if I go ahead and try to create a policy called lock down policy now you'll see that it tells 11 00:00:42,570 --> 00:00:45,720 me that the name already exists and I need to choose a different one. 12 00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:48,700 So that's just something to keep aware of. 13 00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:53,750 Now I can go ahead and delete this GPO as simply as clicking delete. 14 00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:59,120 And it tells me that all the links that exists for this GPO. 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,860 So if this GPO has been linked to container objects in this domain, they'll be deleted. 16 00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:09,710 Those links will be deleted if those links exist in another domain. 17 00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:13,280 And remember I said you can link cross domain if you choose to do so. 18 00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:21,050 Well, those links will not be deleted, so they'll essentially be orphaned if you delete the GPO and 19 00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:24,410 you'll have to go back and clean those links up in the other domain. 20 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,180 So I'm just going to go ahead and delete that GPO I just created. 21 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,940 Now remember I said I can just simply right click on a GPO and choose edit. 22 00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:40,100 And if I go ahead and edit a GPO, it brings up the editor. 23 00:01:40,970 --> 00:01:42,890 And I can go in and edit it. 24 00:01:42,890 --> 00:01:48,980 As I've showed you in the past, you can drill into any of these containers and do some work on them. 25 00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:52,370 Now let's look at the comment capability. 26 00:01:53,230 --> 00:01:58,810 If I right click on the name of the GPO up on the top here and choose properties and then comment. 27 00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:05,530 So I can now put in a comment and I'm going to say this is my test comment on the Dallas sales printer's 28 00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:10,630 GPO, Daryn, and that comment is now baked into that GPO. 29 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,170 If I go back to the PMC and look at details tab, you'll see my comment shows up right here. 30 00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:24,100 So it's pretty straightforward to add a comment to a GPO and obviously very straightforward to simply 31 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,430 added a GPO, assuming that I have permissions to do so. 32 00:02:28,270 --> 00:02:28,810 Okay. 33 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,910 Let's go ahead and wrap up this module and we'll talk in the next module about how group policy gets 34 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:35,350 applied at target systems.
