What are the most common questions about editing policies using the Endpoint Policy ManagerCloud policy editor (instead of using the MMC to upload to Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud?)

A new feature of Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) Cloud where you can create and edit your own policies inside Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud without having to pre-create, then upload them. Here are the most common questions and answers

Q: Is this all of the Admin Templates, Windows, Control Panel, and system stuff / ADMX items I would see as if I was inside the GPMC?
A: Yes.

Q: Where are the Security settings?
A: We have those in Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud too.

Q: Do I need to update my Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud client or Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud Client Side Extension in any way?
A: No.

Q: What versions of Office do you have ADMX settings for?
A: We have the ADMXs there for most versions of Office. When new ones come out, we update them for you automatically.

Q: How is this kept up to date?
A: We do it for you. For Windows, Office and Endpoint Policy Manager ADMX settings. See Endpoint Policy ManagerCloud: Use in-cloud ADMX settings maintained by Endpoint Policy Manager for Windows, Office, Chrome and more

Q: Do you have Windows 10 and 11 settings in Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud?
A: Yes. See How Netwrix PolicyPak Enables Flexibility of Different Group Policy Stores for Windows 10 and Windows 11 for additional information.

Q: What about Custom ADMX, like Acrobat and Chrome? Can I upload those myself?
A: Yes. See Endpoint Policy ManagerCloud: Upload and use your own ADMX files to Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud

Q: Why don't you have editors for all the other types: GPPrefs, Security, and Endpoint Policy Manager Settings?
A: We have nearly all of them actually at this point.

Q: Will all policy types (eventually) be editable within PP Cloud?
A: Yes. That's the goal. But one type will never be supported, PP Application Settings manager. You'll always need some kind of admin station to make those policies, export them, then upload them.

Q: Can I edit previously uploaded PP Admin Template settings using the PP Cloud editor?
A: Yes. If you encounter trouble, please open a support ticket so we can fix that.

Q: How are users and groups supported within ILT in cloud?
A: Basically the same way. If you know the SID of the group or user ,you would place it into the SID box. If the SID is not known, the ILT engine does its best to evaluate by name, but it's not guaranteed.
