You would need to edit the wmiqueries.xml file that GPInventory uses and add your own custom query. To query for the application of a specific GPO you would add something similar to the following (making sure you replace the GUIDName value with that of the GPO you are checking for): <ManagedObject Name="Version of GPO computer settings applied" Query="select version from RSOP_GPO where accessDenied='false' and enabled='true' and filterAllowed='true' and not version='0' and GUIDName='{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}'" Root="ComputerRSOP" /> Remember that Computer/User RSOP is separate, so if your GPO has both user and computer settings you would need to check for both. I haven't tested this myself, but it should return the version applied and if the version is Null (blank) then the GPO hasn't been applied to that system.
