Scope:

[!div class = "checklist"]

  • Device

Note

 This policy is only enforced in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions and not supported in Windows 10 Mobile.

This Policy specifies an arbitrary group ID that the device belongs to. Use this if you need to create a single group for Local Network Peering for branches that are on different domains or are not on the same LAN. Note that this is a best effort optimization and should not be relied on for an authentication of identity.

Note

 You must use a GUID as the group ID.

Home cross mark
Pro check mark4
Business check mark4

When set, the Group ID will be assigned automatically from the selected source.

If you set this policy, the GroupID policy will be ignored.

The options set in this policy only apply to Group (2) download mode. If Group (2) isn't set as Download mode, this policy will be ignored.

For option 3 - DHCP Option ID, the client will query DHCP Option ID 234 and use the returned GUID value as the Group ID.

Starting with Windows 10, version 1903, you can use the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Tenant ID as a means to define groups. To do this, set the value of DOGroupIdSource to 5.

Tip

This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to Enabling a policy.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.
