Group Policy Inventory

GPInventory.exe collects Group Policy (and other information) computers in your network by running multiple Resultant Set of User Policy (RSOP) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries. You can export results to either an XML or a text file (most easilly analyzed in Excel or other spreadsheet application).

RSOP Queries
* Perform a software inventory for users and computers
* Report on what applications are installed on computers
* Monitor the rollout of new GPOs
* Identify computers that have not downloaded and applied new GPOs

WMI Queries
* Report hardware inventory
* Scan computers for the presence of a specified hotfix
* Get disk space information
* Test a WMI filter before implementing it in the domain

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows Server 2003; Windows XP (also requires you have .NET Framework version 1.0 or later)
