Microsoft’s Group Policy product team recently posted a blog announcing that they will be adding PowerShell support to Windows 7 for various Group Policy management tasks, such as those things you can do in GPMC scripts today. In addition, they are adding PowerShell support for modifying registry policy, which is a good thing, though the approach they are using is not the way I would have done it.
In any event, I think this is good news for Group Policy administrators. Of course, if you want to be able to leverage this today, you can download our free PowerShell GPMC cmdlets for today’s operating systems or take a look at our GPExpert Scripting Toolkit, our commercial product that supports automation against many Group Policy areas, including registry, security, software installation and more.
