Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0 | 1 0

Description

Creates new Group Policy object links in the disabled state.

This entry stores the setting of the Create new Group Policy object links disabled by default Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.

Value Meaning
0 (or not in registry) The policy is disabled or not configured. Newly created Group Policy object links are immediately enabled. If you don't want them to be effective until they are configured and tested, you must disable the object link.
1 The policy is enabled. Newly created Group Policy object links are disabled. After you configure and test the new object links, either by using Active Directory Users and Computers or Active Directory Sites and Services, you can enable the object links for use on the system.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Create new Group Policy object links disabled by default policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy).
