Using GPMC (Group Policy Management Console) on Windows 2003 x64

Posted on 2008 May 4 by Kev Frey

 

If you have attempted to install the GPMC (Group Policy Management Console) on Windows 2003 x64 version, you have encountered this problem; and it is frustrating. The error you receive if you attempt to install GPMC on x64 states that you have to uninstall the "previous" incompatible version of .NET. Microsoft has indicated that Vista comes with both x86 and x64 versions of GPMC, so they have it available. But, the company has indicated that an x64 version will not be released for "older" versions of Windows – for some unknown reason (i.e. forcing people to upgrade to the less-than-popular Vista).

So, I went looking for a way to work around this problem because I don’t want to run XP 32-bit or Vista just to use GPMC on my 2003 x64 system. After some venting on forums with other like minds, I came across the way to run GPMC under 2003 x64. The trick is to prevent the GPMC msi from "checking" on what version of dotNet that Windows is running. The reason this works is because GPMC will work with the version of .NET that comes with 2003 x64.

To do this, make a copy of the GPMC msi installer (so that you are not modifying the original), then open it using an MSI editor (like Orca) and perform the following changes:

• Delete the BlockOnNoNetFramework item from the InstallExecuteSequence section.

   
• Delete the BlockOnNoNetFramework item from the InstallUISequence section.

Save this MSI, then install it by right-clicking it and choosing Install.
Then, to ensure proper operation after installation, perform the following steps:

• Choose Start -> Administrative Toos -> and Right-click “Group Policy Management” and choose “Author”
• Choose File -> Add Snapin – > Choose “Active Directory Users and Computers”
• Choose OK, Choose File->Save, then File->Exit
• Lastly, go to %systemroot%\System32 and copy gepedit.msc and rsop.msc to the %systemroot%\SysWOW64 folder

Then, you are all set.

Now, why can’t Microsoft just do this? Seems silly in my opinion.

The Group Policy Management Console is a Feature in Windows Server 2008. You install Features using Server Manager. Once installed, you can access the feature using Server Manager or you can the specific management console (like gpmc.msc).

1. Open Server Manager by click Start and then point to Administrative Tools. Click Server Manager
2. Click Features in the console tree. In the Features pane, click Add Features
3. Select Group Policy Management from the list of available features in the Add Feature Wizard. Click Install.
4. Start using GPMC or close Server Manager.

There’s another way to install GPMC using Server Manager, which usually installs quicker that using the Server Manager user interface. Server Manager includes a command line utility for installing Features and Roles named ServerManagercmd.exe.

Installing GPMC from the Command Line

1. Open an elevated command prompt.
2. In the command prompt, type ServerManagercmd –install gpmc
3. Start GPMC from the command prompt by typing start gpmc.msc
4. Close the command prompt.
