More for troubleshooting GPO's

When I see an issue, I can see that there are two ways for analyzing it, from the tech and admin side. Admin deploys new GPO, the next day, tech says, "I'm receiving too many calls because of the not applied GPO", Admin says, "which users or workstation", at this point, there is a problem, a process problem, in fact Change Management. The Admin must have control the issues that are affecting clients. SO, GPMC is a good tool, but not at all,Microsoft has another portable tool named GPInventory for monitoring massively GPO's, and, for this time, we are not gonna use scripts for solving this kind of issues, you could do it, but from my perspective this time is for GUI.

So, download, GPInventory part of the Windows Resource Kit Tool:

install it and open it:



you only have to select the worksations from a text file(this could be IP's or hostname) or direct fron Active Directory, choose the
context for the GPO Result and that's it.
