# Developer guide for using Group Policy Objects (GPO) (Windows 10 Pro)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GPOs are used to pre-configure servers, autoUpdater and server management
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can read more about GPOs [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/policy/group-policy-objects)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to use them on your windows machine for development
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Copy the files from this directory (`resources/windows/gpo`) to `C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions` - the file `mattermost.admx` should go in `C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions` and the file `mattermost.adml` should go in `C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions/en-US`.
|
||
|
|
2. Press `Win` + `R` to open the "Run" box
|
||
|
|
3. Type `gpedit.msc` to open the Group Policy Editor
|
||
|
|
4. Select "Administrative Templates" => "Mattermost" - either in "Computer Configuration" or "User Configuration" it shouldn't matter.
|
||
|
|
5. On the right side panel Select the Policy you want to update, eg, "DefaultServerList" then click the "Edit policy setting" hyperlink/button.
|
||
|
|
6. Select the "Enabled" radio checkbox and click the "Show" button under Options.
|
||
|
|
7. A new windows opens where you can add Multiple values for pre-configured servers, where `value name` is the Server Name and `value` is the Server URL.
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Value Name | Value |
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
8. Now if you open your Mattermost desktop application you should be able to see the server in the server dropdown
|

### Windows 10 Home:
|
||
|
|
The `gpedit.msc` is not available for the Home edition but, there is an open-source tool called [Policy Plus](https://github.com/Fleex255/PolicyPlus) that can help with that.
