Get-GPOStartupScripts is a PowerShell function designed to retrieve all startup scripts defined in Group Policy Objects (GPOs) within a specified Active Directory domain. It searches through the SYSVOL folder on the domain controller to find and list all scripts set to run at system startup via GPO.
- Retrieves all startup scripts configured in GPOs for a given domain.
- Handles domains with multiple GPOs seamlessly.
- Provides output in an easily readable format.
- Gracefully handles errors and cases where no startup scripts are found.
To use this function, you must have:
- PowerShell 5.1 or later.
- Read access to the SYSVOL directory on your domain controller.
- Appropriate permissions to execute scripts on your machine.
To use the Get-GPOStartupScripts function, follow these steps:
- Open PowerShell with administrative privileges.
- Copy the function code into your PowerShell session or a
.ps1script file. - Execute the function or script file to load the function into your session.
Once the function is loaded into your PowerShell session, you can use it by specifying the domain you wish to query. Here is an example command:
Get-GPOStartupScripts -Domain "yourdomain.com"
