Group Policy

[Guest]

Is there any way to view/change a computer's local group policy using Hyena in a AD environment?

Re: Group Policy

You can right-click on Containers/OUs and choose Browse for GPO. From there you should be able to click the Computers tab and enter in the computer you want to manage.

Re: Group Policy

Thanks for the quick response.

I was looking through the help file and found the following:

The "Policies" container can be opened in Hyena to display all defined GPOs, with options to set the Properties and Edit any selected GPO. The Policies container is a sub-container of the System container under the main Containers/OUs object.

The context menu option "Browse for GPO" for the Containers/OUs object in Hyena can be used to create, delete, or manage GPO objects.


Now, this would normally be extremely helpful were it not for the fact that I am unable to find the "System" container nor any option called "Browse for GPO". If by System container they mean the container holding the computers, then I cannot find anything relevant to GPOs in there either.

FYI, I am running Hyena v6.3

Re: Group Policy

When you expand your domain in the left window, the first thing you should have is Containers/OUs. Right-click on it and you should see Browse for GPO. Expand it, and you should see a folder for System.

The System container should be visible under the main Containers/OUs object. It is named 'System'. In it, you can find another container named "Policies".
