The Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is an excellent tool for managing Group Policy in Active Directory environments. It also provides a set of scripting interfaces for automating many Group Policy management actions. In fact, most of the tasks you can perform using the GPMC can be automated through its scripting interfaces. The GPMC installation also provides more than 30 prebuilt scripts that you can use to manage Group Policy right away. In this appendix, we will look at how to use those scripting interfaces to develop your own scripts for automating Group Policy management. We’ll also review the prebuilt scripts provided with GPMC and describe how to use them to perform common Group Policy management tasks.
