IGroupPolicyObject interface (gpedit.h)
The IGroupPolicyObject interface provides methods to create and modify a GPO directly, without using the Group Policy Object Editor.
Note that this interface does not support multithreaded object concurrency.
Inheritance
The IGroupPolicyObject interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IGroupPolicyObject also has these types of members:
Methods
The IGroupPolicyObject interface has these methods.
| IGroupPolicyObject::Delete The Delete method deletes the GPO. |
| IGroupPolicyObject::GetDisplayName The GetDisplayName method retrieves the display name for the GPO. (IGroupPolicyObject.GetDisplayName) |
| IGroupPolicyObject::GetDSPath The GetDSPath method retrieves the Active Directory path to the root of the specified GPO section. |
| IGroupPolicyObject::GetFileSysPath The GetFileSysPath method retrieves the file system path to the root of the specified GPO section. The path is in UNC format. |
| IGroupPolicyObject::GetMachineName The GetMachineName method retrieves the computer name of the remote GPO. This is the name specified by the OpenRemoteMachineGPO method. |
