ABSTRACT:
A user interface is disclosed for representing group policy object topology and relationships, while allowing interaction to facilitate group policy management. Forests, sites and domains are hierarchically displayed in a treeview that reflects the network topology. The treeview also represents group policy objects, links, filters and other nodes. Administrators perform operations across forests, domains and sites, and perform operations on other nodes in the treeview. Administrators control which forests, sites and domains are viewable in the treeview, and the treeview state is persisted. Logic automatically reduces the topology's complexity by limiting the presentation of forests and/or domains to only those with which the administrator's forest and domain have a proper trust relationship. Also provided is a tabbed view in a result pane area that provides a rich display of complex data, and intelligent refresh logic to update changes in one user interface area to other user interface areas.
