Here is a screen shot showing the output of the script, which had identified 4 orphaned GPTs. Note the count of GPC and GPT’s. Therefore, verify GPT folders are truly orphaned before moving or deleting them. Lack of permissions to the corresponding objects in AD could cause a false positive. In this case, the AD portion of the GPO would be deleted but the SYSVOL portion of the GPO would be left behind.Īlthough orphaned GPT folders do no harm they do take up disk space and should be removed as a cleanup task.

If the GPO was deleted by someone that had permissions to do so in AD, but not in SYSVOL.

If the GPO is deleted directly through Active Directory Users and Computers or ADSI edit.

This script will help find GPOs that are missing one of the parts, which therefore makes it an orphaned GPO.Ī GPO typically becomes orphaned in one of two different ways: The GPT is where the GPO stores the actual settings located within SYSVOL area under the Policies folder, which is replicated by either File Replication Services (FRS) or Distributed File System (DFS).

The GPC is where the GPO stores all the AD-related configuration under the CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=… container, which is replicated via AD replication.

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are stored in two parts:
