# 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. Open the Group Policy Management console.
|
|
|
|
2. In the navigation pane, expand **Forest:**<em>YourForestName</em>, 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**.
