So bear with us while we go over a few basics.
A Group Policy Object is a collection of policies applied by the system administrator throughout the domain.
There can be any number of GPOs applied to different users, computers, and groups.
; securing the overall data pipe infrastructure.
This is also one of the reasons why getting to generate GPO reports may be beneficial for you.
This module is part of theRemote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
Parameters for Get-GPOResult command
You are using a domain user account with at least read-only access to GPOs.
This information will be useful when generating reports on a specific GPO.
A GUID is a unique identifier assigned to each GPO.
Create individual reports for all GPOs using Get-GPOReport
you’re free to also generate reports for a single GPO using its GUID.
However, the process still needs you to know the GPOs name.
In the steps below, the name of the GPO is used to obtain its GUID.
View GPO details inside PowerShell using the GPResult command
How, let us show you how to generate a report for all the GPOs applied within your domain.
To generate a report on all GPOs, you do not need to use the-Nameor-GUIDparameter.
Instead, we use-All.
Find GPO linked to OUs
you’re free to also change HTML with XML to create XML reports instead.
Make the changes to the script before pasting it into PowerShell.
Generate GPO Report using GPResult in PowerShell
you could also generate GPO reports using theGPResultcmdlet in PowerShell.
However, unlikeGet-GPOReport, GPResult can only generate reports in HTML.
This cannot be achieved with HTML reports since they do not include that information.
This is another reason why the sysadmins prefer XML reports over HTML.
fire up the XML file and look for the GPO you want to know about.
Look for the LinksTo node near the end of the GPO details.
You will then find a different OU in front of the same GPOs.
you might confirm this from the Server Manager Add roles and features.
If the feature isnt installed, install it.
