5.2.1 Security Parameters Affecting Behavior of the Protocol

Security Parameter

Explanation of setting

MaxNoGPOListChangesInterval

[MS-GPOL] section 3.2.1.24

When the value of the MaxNoGPOListChangesInterval for a particular client-side extension is set (by local implementation-specific means) to a nonzero integer value, the Group Policy client will invoke the extension after MaxNoGPOListChangesInterval minutes, even if the policy has not changed since the last invocation of the extension.

This setting ensures that the advanced audit policy settings created by the administrator of a domain are reapplied on the client after MaxNoGPOListChangesInterval minutes. This limits the amount of time that the local and central advanced audit policy settings could be out of sync because of local modifications to the policy.<8>
