GPO's Documentation.

[ianglynn]

Can anyone tell me if there is a tool that can document our Group Policies. At the moment we just capture the screen and print it of, but i do not think that this is very efficent or proffessional way of doing things. Now that we are using a lot of Group Policies we are finding it very time consuming to document them all.

Please tell me that somebody out there has created an efficent way of doing this.

Apparently, the Group Policy Management Console is really good for this -

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/gpmc/default.mspx

it is a free download, will administer W2k domains, but will only work on Windows 2003 Server or XP Professional computers, which isn't good for me.

I found this page:

Download IntellimirrorSenarios.msi - it contains ready made group policy, which I won't use, but also several Excel spreadsheets with all the group policy documented in them - I just deleted their settings and put my settings in all the boxes. (have to remove 2003 GPO settings also) Made documentation a bit easier.
