GPO Scripts – Reporting on All GPOs in a Domain

There are a significant number of times in an administrator's career when it is nice to be able to view all of the GPOs affecting a domain at a single glance. Some examples that quickly jump to mind are:

• Starting a job with a new company
• Consulting for a new customer
• Discovery phase of a recent acquisition

Here is a Powershell script from the Technet Script Center that happens to be from an administrator of a customer that fills the bill on being able to produce an HTML report of all GPOs in a domain.
To use, simply replace your domain for the text "your.domain.here" in the script. Note: for this script to work you need the Group Policy Management Feature installed on your computer.Enjoy.
