The GPMC scripts include the ListSOMPolicyTree.wsf script which at least
creates a useful text report of which GPOs are linked to which OUs (and
sites).  Combine this script with the BackupAllGPOs.wsf and the
GetReportsForAllGPOs.wsf to be well prepared to restore GPOs (and then
link them back to where they were linked prior to deletion).

Subject: [ActiveDir] management of group policy links (GPMC)

Dear all, as i recall / understand group policy links are stored as an
attribute
(gplink) of the OU.

It seems that GPMC is fine at summarising the links on a per OU basis as
you step
down the forest / domain structure.

However it seems to lack a summary of OU / linked GPO(s) / link order /
security
filtering / delegation

Would seem to be helpful in the context of a documentation of an Active
Directory,
especially given the scenario of restore of a GPO which does not look to
restore
links, let alone the link order which would need to be restored somehow
in the event
of GPO restore.

Thanks, as always
