Domain Linked GPOs report

This report provides the list of GPOs that are linked to domains. It offers administrators a clear view of which GPOs are applied at the domain level, helping ensure that the correct policies are enforced across the entire domain.

OU Linked GPOs report

This report provides the list of GPOs that are linked to organizational units. It offers a comprehensive view of all OU-linked policies, making it easier for administrators to manage GPOs as needed.

Site Linked GPOs report

This report provides the list of GPOs that are linked to sites. Using this report, administrators can detect any discrepancies or errors in GPO links to sites, allowing for prompt correction to maintain consistent policy enforcement.

GPO Blocked Inheritance Containers report

This report provides a list of all the objects, including domains, sites, and OUs, where the inheritance of GPO settings has been blocked. Administrators can understand policy exceptions, verify intentional inheritance blocks, and identify potential issues to maintain consistent policy enforcement and security across the AD environment.

GPOs with Script report

This report provides a list of all GPOs where at least one of the following scripts is configured: logon, logoff, startup, or shutdown. Administrators can monitor and manage the performance and execution of scripts to ensure they operate efficiently and do not introduce delays or issues during system operations.

Compare GPO Versions report

This report provides a list of the user and computer versions of both AD and SYSVOL for the selected GPOs. Administrators can detect and resolve conflicts between GPO versions in AD and SYSVOL, ensuring accurate and up-to-date policy configurations.

Linked GPOs report

This report fetches information on GPOs linked to the OUs and sites within a domain. Administrators can use this report to troubleshoot GPO application issues by showing exactly which GPOs are linked to which OUs and sites, helping to identify and address problems in policy enforcement.

Direct and Inherited GPO Links report

This report provides information on all GPOs directly linked to the selected OUs and sites, as well as those inherited from the selected OU’s parent containers up to the root domain. Administrators can get a consolidated view of all relevant GPOs, making it easier to add, modify, or remove links, and verify that policies are correctly linked.

GPOs Linked to Empty OUs report

This report provides a list of GPOs that are linked to OUs but do not have any security principals configured, and provides options for managing these links, including disabling or removing them. This helps administrators identify GPOs that may no longer be relevant or effective since the target OUs have no associated users, computers, or groups.

With ADManager Plus, you can generate a wide range of reports covering GPO Status, GPO Settings, and more, ensuring effective management and optimization of your GPOs.
