Dcgpofix command in Windows

The dcgpofix command recreates the default Group Policy Objects (GPO) for a domain. For an example of how to use this command, please see the Example below.

Syntax command dcgpofix

 DCGPOFix [/ignoreschema] [/target: {Domain | DC | Both}] [/?]

Parameters

Parameters Description / ignoreschema Ignore the version of Active Directory schema when you run this command. Otherwise, this command only works on the same schema version as the Windows version in which the command is transmitted. / target {Domain DC /? Show help at the command prompt.

Note

The dcgpofix command is available in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008, except for Server Core installations.
Although the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is distributed with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008, you must install Group Policy Management as a feature through Server Manager.

For example

Restore the Default Domain Policy GPO to its original state. You will lose any changes you have made to this GPO. The best way is to configure the Default Domain Policy GPO only to manage the default Account Policies, Password Policy, Account Lockout Policy, and Kerberos Policy settings. In this example, you ignore the version of the Active Directory schema so that the dcgpofix command is not limited to the same schema as the Windows version, in which the command is moved.

 dcgpofix /ignoreschema /target:Domain

Restore Default Domain Controllers Policy GPO to its original state. You will lose any changes you have made to this GPO. The best way is to configure Default Domain Controllers Policy GPO only to set user rights and test policies. In this example, you ignore the version of the Active Directory schema so that the dcgpofix command is not limited to the same schema as the Windows version, in which the command is moved.

 dcgpofix /ignoreschema /target:DC
