Just a few examples: - The API only supports registry-key based settings and bad discoverability: "What is this specific setting?" Easy. "What everything is configured?" ugh. - The API supports no credentials - All other Extensions require file parsing (each a different format)

Fred @psfred.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

... It has grown, but people have also moved on to newer technologies. Finally, there might actually be a community tool out there that does it, actually. We techies aren't always the best about advertising our tools. I know of at least one that offers extensive read-only capabilities.

Fred @psfred.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

... Community tools are often shunned in Tier 0 environments out of security concerns. In Sum: High Effort needed, not quite enough pain for somebody capable of it to solve it. The complexity means the total pool of professionals with the skills to do a good job of it is somewhat limited. ...

Fred @psfred.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

... There are (or were) other free tools that offered enough to somehow mitigate the worst needs. The API is horrible - where one exists, each Extension requires its own way of addressing it. The official Group Policy module is ... somewhat usable, if nothing more. ...

Fred @psfred.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Well, that question has two answers, depending on the way you interpret the question: "Why did Fred not do it earlier?": Higher priorities for my private dev time, so I needed a customer to fund that fairly high initial invest. "Why did no-one else do it?": Some commercial products offered it. ...

Plan for later in the year is to use that within the Active Directory Management Framework and enable defining the desired state for all your GPOs at the setting level! admf.one So if you need to keep track of your settings - GPO or otherwise - across forests, give it a look 😇

Fair disclaimer: It can't do it all yet, registry & security for now, but it's designed to be extensible and I am planning to add more GP extensions in the near future. Of course it can do remoting & custom credentials, in opposite to regular GPO commands. PS7 Compatible.
