In this video i will show you how to create a Custom MMC Console to Manage Security Policy for a New GPO.

 
In this exercise, you’ll create a management console for a new GPO named Security Policy GPO, and customize it by adding Event Viewer. This exercise is performed from a domain controller.
  1. Select Start > Run, type MMC in the Run dialog box, and choose OK to open the MMC.
  2. From the main menu, select File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
  3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, choose Add. The Add Standalone Snap-in is displayed.
  4. Highlight the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in and choose Add. The Group Policy Wizard is displayed.
  5. The Group Policy Object specifies Local Computer by default. Choose Browse to browse for a Group Policy Object.
  6. The Browse For A Group Policy Object dialog box is displayed. The Domains/OU tab is the default, showing the current domain. Notice that you can choose the Default Domain Policy here, and that you have a Create New Group Policy Object button to the right of the drop-down list of domains (it’s the middle icon). In the Domains/OUs tab, click the Create New Group Policy Object button. Name the GPO Security Policy GPO. Choose OK, then choose Finish to return to the Add Standalone Snap-in window.
  7. Highlight the Event Viewer snap-in and choose Add.
  8. The Select Computer dialog box appears with Local Computer selected by default. Choose the Another Computer radio button, and type Sybex.com.
  9. Click Finish, then Close.
  10. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, notice that the new GPO is now listed, along with Event Viewer.
  11. Choose OK to return to the main console window.
  12. Select File > Save As. Save the console as Security Policy GPO.
  13. You can now access this console by selecting Start > Administrative Tools > Security Policy GPO. For now, close the MMC.
