Active Directory Group Policy Manager

See what every GPO actually does, where it applies, and fix it - safely. Group Policy Manager reads real SYSVOL content and real link topology that nothing else in our AD suite touches, then lets you create, link, and edit GPOs through a staged review-before-apply workflow - the first write-capable tool we've built for Active Directory.

Every other AD tool in our suite reports on Group Policy only at the edges - metadata, or who can edit a GPO's permissions. Nothing reads what a GPO actually configures, or how link order, enforcement, and blocked inheritance really resolve. Group Policy Manager reads the real SYSVOL settings files (security policy, user rights assignments, restricted groups, and a curated set of Administrative Template policies) and the real gPLink/gPOptions link topology - correct link precedence included, which is easy to get backwards. And because seeing a problem is only half the job, it can fix it too: create or delete a GPO, link or unlink it, reorder/enforce/block-inherit a link, or edit a setting - every change queued for your review before anything ever touches Active Directory or SYSVOL. Nothing writes itself; you always see the full diff and click Apply.

Features

Read everything, change it safely

Real SYSVOL settings, not just metadata

Reads GptTmpl.inf (password/lockout policy, user rights assignments, restricted groups) and both halves of Registry.pol against a curated set of well-known Administrative Template policies - what a GPO actually configures, not just its name and version numbers.

Real link topology and precedence

Parses gPLink/gPOptions directly - link order, enforced, blocked inheritance - the one thing nothing else in our AD suite reads. Health findings catch unlinked, empty, disabled-but-linked, and orphaned-link GPOs, plus AD/SYSVOL version drift.

Staged review, always

Every write action - create, delete, link, unlink, reorder, or edit a setting - only ever queues a change. Nothing reaches Active Directory or SYSVOL until you review the full plain-language diff and click Apply, with a local audit trail of every attempt.

Create, link, and edit GPOs

Create or delete a GPO, link or unlink it to an OU or the domain root, reorder/enforce/block-inherit a link, and edit security settings, user rights, restricted groups, or Administrative Template policies - all from one app.

Custom queries & a headless CLI

Build your own filters against any GPO, setting, or link attribute. The headless CLI stays deliberately read-only, even at Professional - ActiveDirectoryGroupPolicyManager.exe --run-report ... and --run-query ... only ever report, never write unattended.

Scheduled & emailed reports

Save any query as a recurring report via Windows Task Scheduler, with the result optionally emailed to you the moment a health finding like an orphaned link or version mismatch appears.

Plans & Pricing

Each tier unlocks more

Pick how much automation you need, then choose once-off or monthly billing. Group Policy Manager licenses per machine, not by domain size.

One-time payment - yours to keep, no subscription.

Standard

For the quick inventory.

GPO inventory on screen - names, status, AD/SYSVOL version numbers - free at every tier.

Standard+

For seeing what GPOs do.

Everything in Standard, plus real SYSVOL settings and link-topology reporting, and CSV/Text export.

Advanced

For ongoing hygiene.

Everything in Standard+, plus health findings (unlinked/empty/orphaned/version-mismatch), custom queries, and richer export formats.

All plans are billed in USD. Prices in other currencies are an approximate conversion for your reference, based on indicative exchange rates - your invoice will be issued in USD.

Standard

Standard covers the free floor: GPO inventory - name, status, AD/SYSVOL version numbers - on screen. No settings/link reporting, health findings, write management, or export at this tier, by design.

Best for: A fast first answer to "how many GPOs do we actually have?"

Standard+

Standard+ adds the real payoff of reading SYSVOL and gPLink directly: security settings, user rights, restricted groups, Administrative Template settings, and link rows with real order/enforced/block-inheritance - plus CSV/Text report export. Everything from Standard is included.

Best for: Finally seeing what a GPO actually does, not just its name.

Advanced

Advanced adds health findings - unlinked, empty, disabled-but-linked, orphaned links, and AD/SYSVOL version mismatches - plus custom queries and richer export formats. Everything from Standard+ is included.

Best for: Ongoing Group Policy hygiene reviews, catching drift before it causes a support ticket.
