Hi Darren,

 

As I'm new to GP I'm intrigued by the purpose of this tool when you
state "quickly spot inconsistencies across GPOs"

 

Could you give an example of when you'd want to compare GPO's for
inconsistencies? I thought the concept of multiple GPO's was to be
different, with each one providing a different type of policy, that you
can apply to different groups of individuals/assets depending on the
needs.

 

Immediately the only time I can think you'd want to compare GPO's for
inconsistencies is when you are recreating one due to corruption or
major version change, or if you're looking for conflicting GPO's which
set opposite values for the same policy.

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

 

P.S. Sorry if you excitedly opened this email expecting your first batch
of feedback ;)

Hey Folks-

Just wanted to let everyone know that today we shipped our new GPO
Compare product (www.sdmsoftware.com/group_policy_compare). This is
something that many folks have asked for-a really nice standalone way to
quickly spot inconsistencies across GPOs. If you have interest, check it
out and let me know what you think! I'm all ears for feedback and
already have some great ideas for the next version.

 

Thanks!

 

Darren
