Order of precedence

Once you have constructed a regular expression, it is evaluated much like an arithmetic expression. It is evaluated from left to right and follows an order of precedence.

The following table shows the order of precedence for the various regular expression operators, starting with the highest:

Administrative Template

The Active Roles Administrative Template allows you to control the behavior and appearance of the Active Roles Console by using Group Policy. For more information, see Active Roles snap-in settings.

This Administrative Template also provides a number of policy settings allowing you to limit the list of Active Roles’s Administration Service instances for auto-connect. For more information, see Administration Service auto-connect settings.

Active Roles snap-in settings

With the Active Roles Snap-in policy settings you can:

  • Hide some areas of the user interface with the Console.

  • Specify default settings for some user interface elements.

  • Specify settings to register extension snap-ins with the Active Roles Console.

The Administrative Template provides the following policy settings to control the behavior and appearance of the Active Roles Console:

Table 86: Policy settings to control the behavior and appearance of the Active Roles Console

Policy Setting

Explanation

Hide Exchange management

Removes all user interface elements (commands, wizards, and dialog boxes) intended to manage Exchange recipients. If you enable this policy, users cannot perform any Exchange tasks and manage any Exchange recipient settings with the Active Roles Console. If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users with appropriate permissions can use the Active Roles Console to perform Exchange tasks and manage Exchange recipient settings.

Set default view mode

Specifies view mode in which the Active Roles Console will start. If you enable this policy, you can select view mode from a list. When started, the Active Roles Console will switch to the view mode you have selected. By default, users are allowed to change view mode by using the Mode command on the View menu. If you want to enforce a view mode, select the User is not allowed to change view mode policy option. This option ensures that the Console user cannot change the view mode that you have selected.

Hide Configuration node

Removes the Configuration node from the Console tree when the Active Roles Console is in Advanced view mode. If you enable this policy, in Advanced view mode, all objects and containers related to the Active Roles configuration are not displayed. The Managed Units node and its contents are displayed as well as all advanced Active Directory objects and containers.

Disable Remember password option

Clears and disables the Remember password check box in the Connect to Administration Service dialog. If you enable this policy, the Connect as: The following user option in the Active Roles Console requires the user to enter their password every time when using that option, rather than encrypting and storing the password once it has been entered.

NOTE: Saving passwords may introduce a potential security risk.

Disable Connect as options

Disables the Connect as options in the Connect to Administration Service dialog, including the Remember password check box. If you enable this policy, the Console users are only allowed to connect to the Administration Service under their logon accounts. With this policy, the Current user option is selected under Connect as, and cannot be changed.

Set controlled objects to be marked by default

Specifies whether to use a special icon for visual indication of the objects to which Access Templates or Policy Objects are applied (linked). If you enable this policy, you can choose the category of object to be marked with a special icon by default. Users can modify this setting using the Mark Controlled Objects command on the View menu.

In addition, the Administrative Template provides for policies allowing you to register extension snap-ins with the Active Roles Console. These policies are located in the folder named Extension Snap-ins. Each policy in that folder is used to register one of the following:

Table 87: Policies allowing to register extension snap-ins with Active Roles Console

Policy Setting

Explanation

Namespace extensions

Allows you to register extension snap-ins to extend the namespace of the Active Roles Console.

Context menu extensions

Allows you to register extension snap-ins to extend a context menu in the Active Roles Console.

Toolbar extensions

Allows you to register extension snap-ins to extend the toolbar of the Active Roles Console.

Property sheet extensions

Allows you to register extension snap-ins to extend property sheets in the Active Roles Console.

Task pad extensions

Allows you to register extension snap-ins to extend a task pad in the Active Roles Console.

View extensions

Allows you to register extension snap-ins to add user interface elements to an existing view or to create new views in the Active Roles Console.

When configuring a policy from the Extension Snap-ins folder, you are prompted to specify the name and the value of the item to be added.

The name parameter determines the type of the node you want to extend. Each type is identified with a GUID. For example, if you want to extend user objects, the GUID is {D842D417-3A24-48e8-A97B-9A0C7B02FB17}.

The value parameter determines the extension snap-ins to be added. Each snap-in is identified with a GUID. You add multiple snap-ins by entering their GUIDs separated by semicolons. For example, value might look as follows:

{AD0269D8-27B9-4892-B027-9B01C8A011A1}"Description";{71B71FD3-0C9B-473a-B77B-12FD456FFFCB}"Description"

The entry "Description" is optional and may contain any text describing the extension snap-in, enclosed in double quotation marks.

Administration Service auto-connect settings

The Administrative Template provides the following settings that allow you to limit the list of Active Roles’s Administration Service instances for auto-connect:

When applied to a computer running an Active Roles client application, such as the Active Roles Console, Web Interface or ADSI Provider, these settings make it possible to restrict auto-connection of the client application to a predefined set of computers running the Administration Service, with inclusions or exclusions of certain computers from the pool of the Administration Service instances to auto-connect.

You can enable all these settings or only some of these settings. For example, if you only want to allow the client application to auto-connect to specific instances of the Administration Service (and only to those instances), then you could only enable and configure the Allowed Servers for Auto-connect setting. If you only want to prevent the client application from auto-connecting to particular instances of the Administration Service, you could only enable and configure the Disallowed Servers for Auto-connect setting. If you want the client application to auto-connect to a server identified by a computer alias, enable the Additional Servers for Auto-connect setting and add the computer alias to that setting.

The following rules apply when two or more settings are enabled. If the name of a given computer is listed in both the Allowed Servers for Auto-connect and Disallowed Servers for Auto-connect settings, then the client application is allowed to auto-connect to the Administration Service on that computer. If the name or alias of a particular computer is listed in the Additional Servers for Auto-connect setting, then the client application auto-connects to the Administration Service on that computer regardless of the Allowed Servers for Auto-connect and Disallowed Servers for Auto-connect settings.
