Group Policy for MMC

  • Hi All,

    Our group policy restricts MMC usage. How do I open it up to explicitly allow Enterprise Manager. Each OU has it's own GP. We want one for our developers.

    Under

    "user configuration\administrative templates\microsoft management console" we have "restrict users to ..." enabled. We wish to keep this.

    Under "Restricted/Permitted Snap-ins" SQL EM is not listed.

    We restrict all MMC unless specifcally enabled, we wish to keep this.

    How do we get SQL EM into teh list of snap-ins so we can explicitly enable it?

    Ideas please.

    Thanks

    Shawn

  • Try having someone edit the group policy from a system where the Snap-In (the SQL Client Tools) have been installed.

  • I've already tried that, looking at the domain level and at the local policy using my PC.

    Thanks anyway.

  • I see what you're saying. There's no way to add a new snap-in.

    You may be able to modify the system.adm to add a policy to handle Enterprise Manager. There's not a ton of information available about how to do this, but there is some in the Windows help.
