3.6. Controlling Exchange Settings Through Group Policy Objects

Problem

You want to apply Exchange settings like the GC/DC profiles described in Recipe 3.0 to all the servers in your organization.

Solution

Using a graphical user interface

  1. Create a policy template file for the registry key or keys you want to apply. (See the Discussion section for more on these files and how to create and use them.)

  2. Launch the Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe).

  3. Add the Group Policy Object snap-in using the File Add/Remove Snap-in command.

  4. When prompted for the target of the snap-in, use the Browse button to select the domain or OU policy where you want to apply the settings. (See the Discussion section for more on choosing a target.)

  5. In the Group Policy Object snap-in, expand the policy and the Computer Configuration and Administrative Templates nodes.

  6. Right-click the Administrative Templates node and choose the Add/Remove Templates command.

  7. In the Add/Remove Templates dialog box, click the Add button, then browse to the location of your template file and click Open.

  8. Click the Close button.

  9. In the Administrative Templates node, navigate to the newly added policy item and apply the appropriate settings.

Tip

You can also use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), which is much more versatile than the Windows 2000 MMC snap-in. GPMC is available from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/gpmc and can be used on Windows XP or Windows 2003 to manage Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Active Directory environments. ...
