Identify Differences Between GPOs, GPO Versions, or Templates

Betrifft: Advanced Group Policy Management 2.0

You can generate HTML-based or XML-based difference reports to analyze the differences between Group Policy objects (GPOs), templates, or different versions of a GPO.

A user account with the Reviewer, Editor, Approver, or AGPM Administrator (Full Control) role or necessary permissions in Advanced Group Policy Management is required to complete this procedure. Ausführliche Informationen finden Sie unter „Weitere Überlegungen“ in diesem Thema.

  • For items with changed settings, the changed settings are identified when the item is expanded. The value for the attribute in each GPO is displayed in the same order that the GPOs are displayed in the report.

  • Some changes to settings may cause an item to be reported as two different items (one present only in the first GPO, one present only in the second) rather than as one item that has changed.

Additional considerations

  • By default, you must be a Reviewer, an Editor, an Approver, or an AGPM Administrator (Full Control) to perform this procedure. Specifically, you must have List Contents and Read Settings permissions for the GPO. Also, to display the list of GPOs, you must have List Contents permission for the domain.
