Using PowerShell to manage GPOs


I went back to the Group Policy team to find out more about what I could do to manage machines using GPOs. This time Lilia, with some help from Lindsey, showed off ways you can use PowerShell to both query and make changes to registry settings. Beyond the registry though, there are some settings you can make with Group Policy that aren't stored in the registry. Lindsey demos a PowerShell cmdlet that she created that allows you to search your GPOs for particular settings or values, making it easy for you to get a view in to all the GPOs that may be setting particular parameters, all in one place.
