Deleting, Restoring, or Destroying a GPO
Hello All,
Hope this post finds you in good health and spirit.
Deleting, Restoring, or Destroying a GPO
A GPO can be destroyed, deleted (moved to the Recycle Bin), restored (returned to the archive), or deleted (moved to the Recycle Bin) by an Approver (permanently deleting it so that it can no longer be restored).
- Delete a Controlled GPO
- Restore a Deleted GPO
- Destroy a GPO
Delete a Controlled GPO
A controlled Group Policy object (GPO) may be deleted by approvers and placed in the Recycle Bin. To execute this operation, you must have a user account with the Approver or AGPM Administrator (Full Control) role or the relevant permissions in Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM).
To delete a controlled GPO
- In the Group Policy Management Console tree, click Change Control in the forest and domain in which you want to manage GPOs.
- On the Contents tab, click the Controlled tab to display the controlled GPOs.
- Right-click the GPO you want to delete, and then click Delete.
- To delete the GPO from the archive while leaving the deployed version of the GPO untouched in the production environment, click Delete GPO from archive only.
- To delete the GPO from both the archive and production environment of the domain, click Delete GPO from archive and production.
- Type a comment to be displayed in the audit trail for the GPO, and then click OK.
- When the Progress window indicates that overall progress is complete, click Close. The GPO is removed from the Controlled tab and is displayed on the Recycle Bin tab, where it can be restored or destroyed. If the GPO was deleted only from the archive, it is also displayed on the Uncontrolled tab.
Other considerations
By default, you must be an Approver or an AGPM Administrator (Full Control) to perform this procedure. Specifically, you must have List Contents and Delete GPO permissions for the GPO.
To delete an uncontrolled GPO from the production environment without first controlling it, in the Group Policy Management Console, click Forest, click Domains, click <MyDomain>, and then
