Why Change Now

Historically, organizations relied on Advanced Group Policy Management to manage Group Policy. With the AGPM retirement in April 2026, it’s time to adopt a solution that supports both Group Policy and Intune to gain full change control.

AGPM challenges:



End of life in April 2026



Risk of repository corruption and deployment conflicts



No scheduling for safe deployments



No support for Intune and container control




Cumbersome interface and workflows



No way to take over checked-out GPOs
