The Group Policy Inventory application was designed to allow administrators to collect Group Policy and other information from any number of computers in their network by running multiple Resultant Set of User Policy (RSOP) or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries. The query results can be exported to either an XML or a text file, and can be analyzed in Excel.

Typical usage scenarios:

RSOP Queries:
Do a software inventory for users and computers in a domain or OU
See which applications are installed on computers in the domain
Track the rollout of new GPOs on a domain
Find computers that have not downloaded and applied new GPOs

WMI Queries:
Do a complete hardware inventory (processor, memory, hard disk space, etc) for all computers in the domain
Scan all computers to see if a particular hotfix is applied
See the amount of disk space that is available on computers
Test a WMI filter before implementing it in the domain
