PowerShell: export GPO to a text file

I'm new to Windows Server, and I'm curious: is there any way to dump group security settings to a text file, using PowerShell or batch files? Thank you!

Solution 1:

You can use Powershell Get-GPOReport command to export all your GPO settings either to HTML or to XML file.

Import-Module GroupPolicy

# Export a specific GPO
Get-GPOReport -Name "Default Domain Policy" -ReportType Html -Path Default.html
Get-GPOReport -Name "Default Domain Policy" -ReportType Xml -Path Default.xml

# Export all GPOs
Get-GPOReport -All -ReportType Html -Path All.html
Get-GPOReport -All -ReportType Xml -Path All.xml
