Since I only have .001 of a brain, I can't do this! :) Carl Webster Consultant and Citrix Technology Professional http://www.CarlWebster.com<http://www.carlwebster.com/> From: Free, Bob [mailto:r...@pge.com] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2012 3:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: GPO Hell (Unlinked/Empty GPOs) Web- There are canned scripts for unlinked, orphaned, disabled and empty sec filter but not empty settings as I recall. Low-tech way if in a hurry would be run the GetReportsForAllGPOs.wsf and look at the xml, the really small files would likely be empty. Very low tech but it would show you where to look. I'll have a peek at Darren's posh module but I don't think it does it either. --bob From: Webster [mailto:webs...@carlwebster.com] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2012 1:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: GPO Hell (Unlinked/Empty GPOs) Bob, I thought one of the scripts also did empty GPOs?

Have to think about the second one a bit more :) From: Guyer, Don [mailto:dgu...@che.org] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2012 12:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GPO Hell (Unlinked/Empty GPOs) Greetings, We have over 800 GPOs, org-wide, and I'm in cleanup mode. Have been trying to find a script/utility to run that will list out unlinked GPOs and/or ones with no settings. Haven't had much luck. ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
