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.
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.
