Lilia,

Thanks for presenting today at MMS. I just wanted to let you know that I came and checked out the blog like you wanted.

Hi Lilia,

I was also at MMS and I must say... You're pulling me back into PowerShell to manage our GPs! I'm glad I attended your session and had a chance to chat afterwards.

Hey Matt -

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something useful here. Have you gotten a chance to use the GP cmdlets or GPPreferences?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a way to edit (with a powershell script) the GPPs of a GPO so that it automatically creates shortcuts in users' start menu.

Basically I would like to know how I can script what can be done manually using the Group Policy Management Editor in the "User Configuration/Preferences/Windows Settings/Shortcuts" section.

Any insights?

Thanks!

I'm using the Powershell 2.0 embedded in Windows Server 2008 R2 RC

Great to see that more GP= stuff can be scripted with Powershell. Modifying the content of a GPO was not possible so far...

But of course, if there is a "Set-GPPrefRegistryValue" function there is the question about others, e.g. "Set-GPPrefDriveMap" or "Set-GPPrefFilesAction" ?

Will there be support for more (or even all) type of settings ?

I'm curious why the GPO DN (as returned by the .linkedGroupPolicyObjects attribute) is not usable as an -Identity for Get-GPO?

I guess I could always create an alias to simulate that, but most other AD/GP cmdlets seem to use the DN as a valid -Identity... (or perhaps thats just my assumption - I've ony been using them for a few hours now.)

And related to that, it seems a shame that GPMC is still easier to use to find all links for a GPO in a forest.

I have inherited a *large* number of dodgy GPOs named "New Group Policy Object" - it would be lovely to be able to quickly find the ones that are not linked anywhere in my forest. Combined with the version numbers and enabled properties, it would be reasonably easy to backup, and purge the empty/useless GPOs.
