The Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) application used to manage and configure Group Policy Objects (GPOs) in a Windows environment. It provides a centralized interface for administrators to create, edit, and apply policies that control user and computer settings across a network. GPMC simplifies the management of GPOs by allowing administrators to link them to specific Active Directory containers, such as sites, domains, or organizational units (OUs). This tool also offers features like reporting and troubleshooting, making it easier to ensure that policies are applied correctly and efficiently across the organization.
