Looking for a specific GPO setting, corresponding registry key or corresponding .admx file?

When you work with Group Policy Objects (GPO’s) regularly, or even better, when you don’t work with GPO’s regularly, the following scenario’s will sound familiar.

- I know this GPO setting exists, I know it had the words “Delegating Saved Credentials” in it but where is that specific policy in the GPO tree?

- I have this GPO setting here, but what is the corresponding registry key?

- I have this GPO setting here, but what is the corresponding .admx file?

- I have this GPO setting here, but is a logoff required

Save yourself some time searching the net and bookmark the following page: (or this blog post J)

It contains several fully searchable Excel sheets, which contain GPO settings with columns like policy setting name, scope, admx file, registry key etc!

These sheets have been around for some time, but I thought it might be useful information to give it some extra attention.

There also is a online variant here: http://gps.cloudapp.net/
