Quick Start - Adding and Removing Features

NOTE: For some video overviews of Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) Feature Manager for Windows, see https://www.endpointpolicymanager.com/products/feature-manager-for-windows.html.

In this example we will uninstall and install the following:

  • Features:

    • Uninstall the Microsoft XPS Document Writer
    • Uninstall SMB 1.0
    • Install .Net 3.5 (including .Net 2.0 and 3.0) Framework
    • Install Telnet Client

  • Optional Features:

    • Uninstall the XPS Viewer
    • Install the Graphics Tools
    • Install the GPMC RSAT tools (Optional RSAT Feature; works only with Windows 1809+)

To begin, log on as a local admin on an test computer and verify that none of the items in the bullet lists above are currently installed. Then, create and link a group policy object (GPO) to a location that contains computers. In the example below, created a GPO and linked it to the East Sales Desktops.

Then click Edit to edit the GPO.

NOTE: Even if you're using Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud or MDM edition, you still need to create the policies within a GPO first.
