“I have a GPO GUID and want to know to which GPO this belongs to?”. If that is your question, you can happily use the below method. For this you need to have “support tools” of Windows 2003. You can get it from Microsoft Web Site as well. Alternatively, you can copy search.vbs from any machine where support tools package is installed.

cscript /nologo search.vbs "LDAP://dc=mydomain,dc=com" /C:"&(objectClass=groupPolicyContainer)(name={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9})" /P:displayName /S:SubTree

Why take such a pain? Use GPMC tool.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me "how" you will do it using GPMC especially when you have thousands of policies in your environment?
ReplyDeleteWith a 2003+ environment, you can right-click the forest and hit "Search", then change the condition to GUID. I didn't know it existed until today, it's pretty nifty.
ReplyDeleteSearch item, not condition, sorry. =)
