AD GPO Backup Release V1.1 – Backup Group Policy Objects (GPO) linked to Oranizational Units (OU)
This is the newest Version of my AD GPO Backup tool. The download is now also available on GitHub.
When editing Group Policy Objects you should always be aware of taking backups before changing anything. But from time to time you need to backup multiple GPO. Sometimes you need to backup all GPOs that are linked to a Organizational Unit and all units below. There is no GUI tool from Microsoft supporting this case, therefore I’ve built a small PowerShell script that will support you.
Version 1.1
Thanks to the automatic zip compression your backups are now heavily reduced in size by default. Now it is also possible to turn off the recursive OU scan if you don’t need backups of linked GPO below the selected structure.
