Re: [ActiveDir] Link single GPO to multiple OUs using script or something

[Kamlesh Parmar]

Thanks

I looked at the _vbscript_ code, what it does is, takes the current links into variable and appends our new link at the end and reattaches the whole new bunch to OU again.

I thought since admod has a feature of append (+,++ operators), I might not have to do the read current links + append-new + reattach. just appending might work.

but it turns out gplink is single-value-attribute so have to follow the same route.
I have gone ahead with _vbscript_ and modified to my requirement.

At the same time I have the adfind+admod script also ready ( just to learn admod.exe better)

Should be working - just create a example OU with the specific settings, adfind gPLink and gPOptions into variables (actually gPOptions: read it once and set it statically without reading in a variable) and use admod to write the gPLink and gPOptions-attributes of the other OUs.

Thanx, I will test it out  :-)
moreover, I will see if I can create a combination of adfind and admod to achieve this.

You can do this with a simple VBS, LDIF-File or whatever is convenient for you to change AD since you only need to modify the gPLink- and gPOptions-Attributes. Look at the following example from the Technet Scriptcenter:

Subject: [ActiveDir] Link single GPO to multiple OUs using script or something

Basically, we have > 50 Location OUs each having different sub OUs for servers, desktops, laptops.
My problem is I want to apply policy to all laptops, but I don't have all laptops with XP, some are win2K.
So can't use a WMI query to filter out dekstops and servers and create single policy.

So only option left is create a policy and link it to so many OUs.

Is it possible to link a single GPO to multiple OUs using script or utility like admod.exe

Thanks in advance
