How are you managing Group Policy changes after AGPM end of support?
You need AGPM’s controlled editing, history, approval, and rollback after its support boundary. AGPM 4.0 reached end of support on April 15, 2026, so it is not a supported long-term control. Microsoft’s built-in option is GPMC: back up each GPO before approved changes, store the backup set in access-controlled storage, and document the change request, administrator, and rollback point in your ticketing system. GPMC supports backup, restore, copy, import, and reporting, but does not reproduce AGPM’s archive-and-approval workflow. For a pilot, export representative GPOs, practice restoring one in a lab, and confirm how security filtering, WMI filters, and links behave during rollback. If web-based approvals and detailed audit history are mandatory, evaluate a replacement through procurement and security; Microsoft does not designate a single successor. Keep AGPM only as a temporary, risk-accepted bridge with tested backups and a migration date.
