Updated platform streamlines configuration change control and enhances Active Directory security by detecting GPO tampering and malicious attacks in real time
San Anselmo, California, June 9, 2026 ─ SDM Software, the Configuration Experts, released a new version of Change Manager for Group Policy/Intune to provide operational change control across new and existing Intune profiles and Group Policy Objects (GPOs) from a single interface. Now, customers can centralize their configuration management and ensure that all changes follow established, secure processes both on premises and in the cloud.
The release also introduces critical security enhancements to protect Active Directory environments from unauthorized changes. Change Manager for Group Policy/Intune 2.0 proactively monitors for GPO tampering and malicious attacks in real time. This includes the ability to detect stealthy attacks that attempt to inject changes directly into the SYSVOL part of a GPO. If an out-of-band or malicious change occurs, the system immediately alerts administrators, enabling faster response and recovery of modified GPOs.
Change Manager for Group Policy/Intune is the flagship product in the SDM Software portfolio. It is a web-based platform that provides change control for Intune profiles, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and AD containers. Seven built-in roles ensure granular delegation and control. Change Manager for Group Policy/Intune also simplifies analysis and reporting with 22 in-the-box reports across GPOs, AD Containers, and Intune.
