Microsoft Uses It Themselves
“NetIQ Group Policy Administrator provides valuable capabilities to ensure the proper change management and auditing of Group Policy for Microsoft IT and anyone else using Microsoft's Active Directory.”
Key Features and Benefits
- Offers secure offline repository by reducing the number of privileged accounts, offering secure offline Group Policy management without having to provide permissions within Active Directory.
- Provides robust workflow and delegation model by allowing you to push the administration of Active Directory lower in the organization to safely involve all Group Policy stakeholders.
- Reduces error risk when configuring GPOs by enabling you to configure settings once, and then replicate and apply those settings to GPOs in other domains and even other forests. This feature guarantees that your settings are configured correctly and reduces the risk of accidentally misconfiguring or losing a setting.
- Provides advanced analysis and simulates the effect of modifying the Group Policy environment using online Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) without having to first deploy the modified GPO.
- Supports latest platforms including Windows 2008 and Vista SP1.
