# Create a Group Policy Object
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
- Windows Server 2016
|
||
|
||
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. Open the Group Policy Management console.
|
||
|
||
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**.
