Configuring the GPO

We will now define a new Group Policy Object (GPO) on an organizational unit (OU.)

1. Logon to your domain controller as a domain administrator
   
   
2. Run "dsa.msc" to open Active Directory Users and Computers
   
   
   
   
3. Find a toplevel OU that contains the computer objects you wish to apply the GPO on.  Right click on the OU and select the "Properties" option
   
   
   
   
4. Click the "Group Policy" tab from the OU properties window
   
   
   
   
5. Click the "New" button to create a new GPO
   
   
   
   
6. Provide a meaningful name to your new GPO, and then click the "Edit" button
   
   
   
   
7. Locate the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder from the Group Policy Object Editor window
   
   
   
   

   Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Public Key Policies -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities

   
   
8. Right click on "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" and select the "Import" option
   
   
   
   
9. Click the "Next" button on the certificate import wizard screen
   
   
   
   
10. Provide the location to the exported certicate from the previous section
    
    
    
    
11. Select the "Place all certificates in the following store" option and click "Next"
    
    
    
    
12. Click "Finish" on the confirmation screen
    
    
    
    
    
    
13. Exit the GPO editor and reboot (or perform a gpupdate) from one of the computers within the affected OU.  You should find the certificate has been installed in the browsers Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
    
    
    

Nice work on installing the certificate!  From the computer you rebooted in step #13, you should be able to browse the website that had previously thrown a certificate error without reciving any warnings.  Good luck!
