Dell Command | Power Manager Version 2.0 User Guide

Installing The Group Policy Management Console

Dell Command | Power Manager uses the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) in Windows Server to administer Group Policies. The GPMC feature is included in Windows Server 2008 and newer; however, it does not automatically install with the operating system. An administrator must install the GPMC on the domain server using Server Manager or Windows PowerShell. For detailed instructions on installing the GPMC, see the TechNet article at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725932.aspx.

In addition to installing the GPMC, an administrator must set Active Directory as a server role. In Server Manager, right-click Roles, and then click Add Roles. On the Server Roles screen, select Active Directory Domain Services, and complete the wizard.
