Does anyone know how to get a list of GPO (Group Policy Objects) from a Windows 2003 domain via PowerShell or some other way if PowerShell can’t do this?

I know that Server 2008 has some cmdlets for Group Polices but how can it be done for a Windows 2003 domain?

Looked on Google but no luck.

Thanks

Gary

  • Good idea, but trying to make the script PowerShell only so we don't need to install different cmdlets on all the customers. But thanks anyway. Commented Sep 13, 2010 at 2:21

You can use the GPMC API to get a list of all GPOs:

$gpm = New-Object -ComObject GPMgmt.GPM $constants = $gpm.GetConstants() $domain = $env:USERDOMAIN $gpmDomain =$gpm.GetDomain($domain ,"", $constants.UseAnyDC) $gpmSearch = $gpm.CreateSearchCriteria() $gpmDomain.SearchGPOs($gpmSearch)

  • Thanks Shay, I did try that using some examples last week. But I get:- Commented Sep 5, 2010 at 23:15
  • $Constants=$gpm.Getconstants() Method invocation failed because [System.__ComObject] doesn't contain a method named 'Getconstants'. At line:1 char:29 + $Constants=$gpm.Getconstants <<<< () + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Getconstants:String) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound Commented Sep 5, 2010 at 23:15

In the end I went with this, used the GPOINFO tool. Not pretty but got what we needed:-

 Write-Host "Counting GPO's" $dom=[System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetComputerDomain() $PDC=$dom.PdcRoleOwner gpotool.exe /dc:$PDC > GPOToolRep.txt $GCReport=Get-Content -Path GPOToolRep.txt $TextOut+="$($GCReport[4])`n

Thanks for all the responses....Gary
