Microsoft’s Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) is officially approaching end of life in April 2026. That means no more security patches, no feature updates, and no replacement offering from Microsoft.
For organizations still relying on AGPM to manage and secure Group Policy, this creates immediate operational and security risks:
- 90% of ransomware attacks target Active Directory and GPOs to maximize blast radius
- Unmonitored or mismanaged GPO changes remain one of the top root causes of AD outages and privilege escalation incidents
- Once AGPM support ends, change control, rollback, and versioning gaps will widen, making it easier for attackers
Attackers are already preparing to exploit these gaps. If your GPOs are not tightly controlled and continuously monitored, a single unauthorized change can compromise your entire environment.

We’ll break down what AGPM’s end of life means for your security posture and provide a clear, actionable roadmap for replacement and risk reduction.
You’ll learn how to:
- Protect Tier 0 assets from ransomware, insider threats, and unauthorized GPO changes
- Navigate GPO complexity and maintain version control without AGPM
- Build a secure post-EOL strategy for monitoring, prevention, rollback, and recovery
- Evaluate AGPM replacement options that maintain (or improve) compliance, governance, and operational efficiency
