+# Developer guide for using Group Policy Objects (GPO) (Windows)
+
+## They are used to pre-configure servers, autoUpdater and server management settings
+
+You can read more about GPOs [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/policy/group-policy-objects)
+
+## How to use them on your windows machine for development
+
+1. Copy the files from this directory (`resources/windows/gpo`) to `C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions` - the file `mattermost.admx` should go in `C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions` and the file `mattermost.adml` should go in `C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions/en-US`.
+2. Press `Win` + `R` to open the "Run" box
+3. Type `gpedit.msc` to open the Group Policy Editor
+4. Select "Administrative Templates" => "Mattermost" - either in "Computer Configuration" or "User Configuration" it shouldn't matter.
+5. On the right side panel Select the Policy you want to update, eg, "DefaultServerList" then click the "Edit policy setting" hyperlink/button.
+6. Select the "Enabled" radio checkbox and click the "Show" button under Options.
+7. A new windows opens where you can add Multiple values for pre-configured servers, where `value name` is the Server Name and `value` is the Server URL.
+Example:
+| Value Name | Value                            |
+|------------|----------------------------------|
+| Community  | <https://community.mattermost.com> |
+8. Now if you open your Mattermost desktop application you should be able to see the server in the server dropdown (team dropdown)
