Skills 101: GPOADmin

Every IT team has that moment, a Group Policy change goes sideways, and no one’s sure who made it or how to roll it back. This session shows how to stop firefighting and start managing your GPOs with structure, accountability, and confidence.
Join us to explore how GPOADmin streamlines the full GPO lifecycle, from creation to deployment, while maintaining complete version control and audit visibility.
Through real-world examples and best practices, you’ll learn how to:

• Standardize GPO workflows so changes are controlled, documented, and repeatable.
• Track and verify every modification with built-in check-in/check-out, auditing, and history tracking.
• Roll back safely to a known-good configuration when troubleshooting or an outage occurs due to misconfiguration.
• Maintain a structured version repository that enforces consistency across teams and environments.
• Register and manage existing GPOs in a versioned framework that supports compliance and transparency.

Walk away with practical strategies to build a resilient, fully auditable Group Policy environment that simplifies troubleshooting, speeds recovery, and strengthens change control across your organization.

Ever looked at a Group Policy and wondered when it was last changed, why it exists, or whether it is still doing what it was originally intended to do?
In this Skills 101 session, we will take a practical, low pressure look at how GPOAdmin can help you better understand and manage your Group Policy environment. You will learn how to confidently compare GPOs, reduce policy sprawl, and validate ownership and compliance using structured attestation workflows.
In this session, we’ll explore how to:

• Spot configuration drift and understand changes across GPO versions
• Identify and consolidate overlapping or redundant policies
• Clean up and attest GPOs to confirm ownership, relevance, and compliance

Through demonstrations and guided instruction, this session is designed to help you simplify Group Policy management and feel more confident in the overall health of your Active Directory environment.
