I know this may be a little late, but have you looked at the older GPMC Scripts (non-PS) that are available? Not sure what OS versions you are running, but here’s a place to start:

What OU is the GPO linked to? 2. What AD group is the GPO filtering on? (we don't filter with WMI, only on AD group membership) 3, All these GPOs will do User Folder Redirection; I need to know where. See, we do folder redirection based on group membership and what OU the user is in. The folder redirection of the GPO must match the home profile of the user in AD. Problem is, I have users that have moved OUs, but their group memberships weren't updated. Or, their group memberships were updated, but their OU was not. So I have users with home profiles on servers that are not where the folder redirection is pointing at. This causes problems, as you may imagine. So I need to pull the user OU, group membership and profile locations. That I know how to do that. But I need to match the OU and group membership with the details of the GPO, and report mismatches between folder redirection location and home profiles. I've found a lot of references that say it's possible to use PS to get those GPO details, but I find no concrete examples. Closest I've come is http://www.ldap389.info/en/2010/09/17/powershell-search-settings-gpo-parameter-configuration-gpmc/ And that doesn't tell me how to get the details of the folder redirection location. Anybody done this (look at details of folder redirection using PS)?
