To run gpresult
on all computers and generate a general report on Group Policy implementation, you can use a combination of command-line tools and scripts. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Using gpresult
Command
The gpresult
command displays the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) information for a user or computer. You can run this command remotely on multiple computers using PowerShell or a batch script.
2. PowerShell Script
You can create a PowerShell script to run gpresult
on multiple computers and collect the results. Here’s an example script:
$computers = Get-Content -Path "C:\path\to\computers.txt" # List of computer names
$outputFolder = "C:\path\to\output"
foreach ($computer in $computers) {
$outputFile = "$outputFolder\$computer.html"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock {
gpresult /h $using:outputFile /f
}
}
3. Batch Script
Alternatively, you can use a batch script to achieve the same result:
@echo off
set outputFolder=C:\path\to\output
set computersFile=C:\path\to\computers.txt
for /f %%i in (%computersFile%) do (
gpresult /s %%i /h %outputFolder%\%%i.html /f
)
4. Group Policy Results Wizard
For a more graphical approach, you can use the Group Policy Results Wizard in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC):
- Open GPMC.
- Right-click on “Group Policy Results” and select “Group Policy Results Wizard”.
- Follow the prompts to select the target computer and user.
- Review the summary and generate the report 1.
5. Collecting and Analyzing Reports
Once you have the reports, you can consolidate them into a single document or database for easier analysis. Tools like Excel or Power BI can help visualize the data.
