It looks like the empty GPOs will be the ones with:
User extensions: not found
Machine extensions: not found
Someone with half a brain should be able to use regex to parse a text file with
800+ GPOs in it to find those! Since I only have .001 of a brain, I can't do
this! :)

Web-
There are canned scripts for unlinked, orphaned, disabled and empty sec filter
but not empty settings as I recall.
Low-tech way if in a hurry would be run the GetReportsForAllGPOs.wsf and look
at the xml, the really small files would likely be empty. Very low tech but it
would show you where to look.
I'll have a peek at Darren's posh module but I don't think it does it either.

Bob,
I thought one of the scripts also did empty GPOs?

FindUnlinkedGPOs.wsf in the GPMC scripts should solve the first issue. Have to
think about the second one a bit more :)

Greetings,
We have over 800 GPOs, org-wide, and I'm in cleanup mode. Have
been trying to find a script/utility to run that will list out unlinked GPOs
and/or ones with no settings. Haven't had much luck.
