Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the GPO an unfair policy?

FAQ
When it enacted the GPO, Congress forgot that the original purpose of the dependent/survivor benefit was to provide additional income to help a financially dependent husband or wife once the breadwinner retires, is disabled, or dies. By reducing the dependent/survivor benefit, the GPO harms the financially dependent spouse. Those most likely affected by the GPO are women who spend most of their lives raising their families and who work outside the home for only a short period of time.

Why is the WEP an unfair policy?

FAQ
The WEP causes public employees outside the Social Security system, such as educators, to lose a significant share of their Social Security benefit. It fails to account for the severe effect of the WEP on low-wage state or local government employees. The WEP also affects the teaching profession as a whole. Some individuals in SS-covered employment may wish to make a career change and go into teaching.

When I open a GPO, some of the normal policy areas are missing. What's up?

GPOGUY.COM FAQ Page
There could be a few reasons for this. First, the local GPO doesn't support several policy areas that are supported on domain-based GPOs, such as software installation. So you won't see that area if you're focused on a local GPO no matter what you do. However, if that's not your situation, there could be a few reasons why you're not seeing what's expected. First off, you'll want to make sure that the MMC snap-ins that underly each of the policy areas are actually registered.

Related Questions

Why did Congress enact the GPO?

FAQ
In 1977, Congress revisited the Social Security Act and looked at many issues, including the dual entitlement rule, which forbids an individual from receiving both a Social Security benefit from his/her own work and a Social Security dependent/survivor benefit. Congress decided that someone with both a government pension and a survivor/dependent benefit violates the dual entitlement rule. It reached that conclusion by equating the government pension with a Social Security retirement benefit.

Can I copy a local GPO from one machine to another?

GPOGUY.COM FAQ Page
The answer to this is yes...and no. Unlike a domain-based GPO, the local GPO's settings do not exist in a set of files. At least not completely. Some settings, such as Scripts and Administrative Template policy are stored on the local machine in %systemroot%\system32\GroupPolicy. However, security settings such as password policy, user rights assignment, etc. are made directly to the local SAM of the workstation or server. So there is no easy way to simply copy those settings to another machine.
