GPO Tools - RCrumbaker's Web Remote Console
This was originally written to assist the local techs in gathering GPO log files several months ago when there appeared to be GPO issues in our environment. Thankfully, that particular issue ended up not being GPO related--but the legacy of that is a tool set to share! There are 3 elements to this on-the-side-htm page; toggling verbose logging on/off (which of course is optional), invoking a GPUpdate /force remotely (and monitor EventVwr to confirm it's done), then (optionally) opening up the log files from the target machine to look for any errors/problems.
3 Steps to implement:
-
Place the attached "GPOTools.htm" into the same folder where machrest.asp resides.
-
Edit MachRest.asp, near all of the other button definitions (near the top) add
<input style="WIDTH: 180px" type="button" value="GPO Tools" name="Btnl724">
-
In Machrest.asp, near the bottom, after all of the other Sub/End Sub routines, just before </script> add
Sub Btnl724_OnClick
parent.frames.output.location.href "/SMSRemote/GPOTools.htm"
End Sub
I strongly suggest you copy your existing machrest.asp somewhere safe; so you can roll-back to a working version if necessary.
