Group Policy Editor is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that is used to configure and modify Group Policy settings within Group Policy Objects (GPOs). You can change many things about your Windows Installation using the Group Policy Editor. Unfortunately, Group Policy Editor does not work in Windows Home Editions. Luckily you can still enable Group Policy support if you are running Windows Home. #
- The Group Policy Editor provides administrators with a hierarchical tree structure for configuring Group Policy settings in GPOs. These GPOs can then be linked to sites, domains, and organizational units (OU) that contain computer or user objects.#
- To enable the Group Policy Editor in Windows Home simply copy and paste the code below into a file named EnableGroupPolicyEditor.bat (or something similar):#
- @echo off#
- >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"#
- if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (#
- ) else ( goto gotAdmin )#
- :getAdmin#
- echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"#
- set params = %*:"="#
- echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"#
- "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"#
- del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"#
- exit /b#
- :gotAdmin#
- pushd "%~dp0"#
- dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt#
- dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt#
- for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"#
- pause#
- About the code:#
- This code checks if it's running as Admin and if not, gets Admin rights and restarts the batch file.#
- After getting Admin rights the batch file downloads and installs the Windows components needed to use the Group Policy Editor.#
- After saving the code you can double-click on it (no need to run as Admin, the code will get Admin levels on its own).#
- Once the code has finished running you can hit Windows+R and type gpedit.msc #
- Earlier tonight I finished one of his most famous books "100 Love Sonnets and A Song of Despair". The poems in this book are incredibly moving. #
