What is GPInventory.exe - Group Policy Inventory

Group Policy Inventory (GPInventory.exe) allows administrators to collect Group Policy and other information from any number of computers in their network by running multiple Resultant Set of User Policy (RSOP) or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries. The query results can be exported to either an XML or a text file, and can be analyzed in Excel.

  • Find computers that have not downloaded and applied new GPOs

WMI Queries:
  • Do a complete hardware inventory (processor, memory, hard disk space, etc) for all computers in the domain
  • Scan all computers to see if a particular hotfix is applied
  • See the amount of disk space that is available on computers
  • Test a WMI filter before implementing it in the domain
