SOLVED Difference between GPO Editor and GPMC

[Harshit Pandey]

Hi I want to know what is the difference between GPO Editor and GPMC ?. I am still not clear with what each one does ?.

1. GPO editor is used to configure local policies and GPMC is used to administer global (per Site, Domain or OU) Active Directory policies. However, you can modify local group policy settings of remote computer by connecting GPO editor to remote machine.

2. You can use GPO editor in Workgroup environment.

3. GPMC is available only in Active Directory based environments.
