+# Create a Group Policy Object
+
+
+To create a new GPO, use the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
+
+**Administrative credentials**
+
+To complete this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Administrators group, or otherwise be delegated permissions to create new GPOs.
+
+**To create a new GPO**
+
+1.  On a computer that has the Group Policy Management feature installed, click the **Start** charm, and then click the **Group Policy Management** tile.
+
+2.  In the navigation pane, expand **Forest:***YourForestName*, expand **Domains**, expand *YourDomainName*, and then click **Group Policy Objects**.
+
+3.  Click **Action**, and then click **New**.
+
+4.  In the **Name** text box, type the name for your new GPO.
+
+    **Note**  
+    Be sure to use a name that clearly indicates the purpose of the GPO. Check to see if your organization has a naming convention for GPOs.
+
+     
+
+5.  Leave **Source Starter GPO** set to **(none)**, and then click **OK**.
+
+6.  If your GPO will not contain any user settings, then you can improve performance by disabling the **User Configuration** section of the GPO. To do this, perform these steps:
+
+    1.  In the navigation pane, click the new GPO.
+
+    2.  In the details pane, click the **Details** tab.
+
+    3.  Change the **GPO Status** to **User configuration settings disabled**.
