SOLVED GPO Health Check

[Manuel]

Hi to all

What would be the best approach of Technical tasks to do in order to investigate if a bunch of GPOs are whether healty or not?

I Will apply it and as result I would like to get how is my GPOs going in the active directory. In order to know if they are wrong or right

My active directory is baced in Widnows 2012 R2 for now. I Will change it

Could anyone tell me all the Ttchnical tasks that I have to do in details?

Thanks in advanced

I believe you are looking for Group Policy Health Check (GPOHC) which is a service that's offered to only Microsoft Premier customers. I believe there some third-party tools that can do the job for you.

 

[Manuel]

Yes, you are right. I am looking for something similar to that service but trying to do by my own.

I am pretty sure there is a bunch of tool that can do this job. And all of them are pretty much paying tool

In fact, I just want to get this healch check but no paying any tool.

Is it possible to get this done without buying any tool o paying any service to Microsoft?

Remember your time is money.

Can you do this without paying? I'm sure that you can.
How long will it take you to create, test and confirm that everything is correct? I'm sure that it will take weeks, if not longer.
Will the cost of your time out weight the cost of purchasing a tool? Only time will tell for sure.
Will your tool be more reliable than anything that your purchase? I doubt it will be more reliable as any tool that your purchase will have 1000s of development hour.

Adding to what @Garth said, even if you do it by yourself, you may not be sure if you have done a complete GPO health check. It is better to invest in tool and get the work done rather than spending time on this. This is just a suggestion..

 

[Manuel]

A good one.

Prajwal, Which tools do you recommend me?

 

[Prajwal Desai]

The one that i mentioned in the first comment.

 

[Manuel]

OKey, that's not a tool. It's a Microsoft service.

 

[Garth]

it is both. when you get the service they give you the tool.
