Discovery of Group Policy on Servers & Desktops

[ppparmar]

We have a specific need of for the baseline configuration project where we need to find out what are the group policies applied to specific devices e.g. desktops, laptops and servers etc. This will be recorded in the baseline over the period for change management.

Did anyone tried to fetch what all group policies are applied to specific server or desktop using discovery?

Hello Pranav,

You would need to create a custom Probe (and sensor) to get the information out of the registry.

According to a Microsoft article (Group Policy History Stored in Registry) you can find the the history of Group Policies on:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

  \Group Policy\History

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

  \Group Policy\History

Thanks.
