2.1.3.2.1 Creating Group Policy Objects

When authoring new GPOs with the Administrative tool, the Group Policy administrator follows the same initial steps of the protocol sequence that occurs during Group Policy client operations:

  1. Locate a Group Policy server, as specified in section 2.1.3.1.1 and [MS-ADOD] (section 3.1.1).

  2. Initiate an LDAP BindRequest and BindResponse, as specified in section 2.1.3.1.2.

Thereafter, to complete the GPO configuration, the Active Directory containers and file system components of the GPO have to be created, and various GPO attributes have to be set.
