GPO Settings Report
This report lists all the Administrative Templates, security settings (Account Policies, Local Policies, Event Log, Restricted Groups, System Services, Registry, and File System), and the GPO preference settings (Environment, Files, Folders, Ini Files) for both user and computer configurations made in the selected GPO.
How it works: This report is generated using a PowerShell query.
To view the report, go to Reports tab → GPO Reports → GPO Settings Reports → GPO Settings, select the required domain and the GPO whose settings you wish to view, and click Generate.
Once the report is generated, you can switch between the hierarchical and table views using the options at the top right corner of the report.
Note: To generate this report, ADManager Plus server will establish a remote PowerShell connection to the selected domain's domain controller, which is configured in its settings. In case the connection fails, the DC will be added to the TrustedHosts list of the server in which ADManager Plus is installed, and the connection will be attempted again. If the connection still fails, the product will contact the next DC in the list of DCs configured in it. This will continue until it can connect to one of the DCs added in the product.
