Manage Group Policy

Group Policy, like many other tools, has a dedicated module for storing all the cmdlets you can use to manage Group Policy. However, the Group Policy module is not available on all the systems that have PowerShell installed.

You can get the Group Policy module only if your system is one of the following:

• Domain controller
• A member server of the domain member with the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) installed
• Windows 7 with the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) installed

To import the Group Policy module, run the following command:

Import-Module grouppolicy

If you try to import the Group Policy module on a system not meeting one of the previous criteria, you will see a screen similar to Figure 9.1.
