Answered ADMX and ValueOn

    When opening (as an example) Taskscheduler.admx and I look at the setting for Preventing Task creation I see the code as expected, however I am unsure though, how GPMC knows that when I enable the setting the valueon=1.

    I cannot seem to find anything that would enable me to understand where the valueon and valueoff settings are held? It seems that somehow the system just knows that when enabling something such as 'Prevent Task Creation' under Task Scheduler in the GPO means to create a key with a value of 1?

    The default for policy setting is to set the mentioned value to
    REG_DWORD=1 when enabling it and to delete the respective value when
    disabling it or setting it to not configured. That's the main reason (I
    believe) for the frequent, thus irritating, "disable disabling..."
    explanations :-D
     

    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing: Good or bad GPOs?
