Well, in keeping with our current tradition of delivering PowerShell-based solutions for Group Policy Management, SDM Software has released its latest product–the Group Policy Health Cmdlet. This cmdlet basically lets you get quick and detailed Group Policy processing status across one or more machines within your enterprise. Its pretty cool in that you can feed it either a machine name, an OU name or a domain name and it will resolve all computer objects in those containers, and query each one, returning results either as an object (shown in the screenshot below) or as an XML document that you can save or manipulate using PowerShell’s built-in XML capabilities. You can take a video tour of the product here, which shows off some of its features.

And while the product is not free, you can download a trial copy and use it for up to 10 queries. After that, to buy a copy is, well, cheap if you ask me :). Anyway, check it out and let us know what you think!
