Applications Extension

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Group Policy includes the Applications preference extension. For users, this extension allows you to configure settings for a specific version of an application for which you have installed a preference plug-in. The available settings vary with the application and version.

Note

You can download plug-ins for Microsoft Office from the Windows Server Group Policy Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=90745).

Software developers can create plug-ins for other applications using the Group Policy Software Development Kit (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=144).

Getting started

You can create and configure Application preference items for any domain-based Group Policy object (GPO). You configure the settings by editing a GPO using the Group Policy Management Console. When editing a GPO, you can find this preference extension at the following location:

User Configuration

**   └ Preferences**

**      └ Windows Settings**

**         └ Applications**

Important

You must install a preference plug-in before you can create and configure Application preference items.
