Applied Group Policy Objects for all domain joined computers report

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to report on all Applied Group Policy Objects for all of our domain joined computers. This would be similar to running the following command:
        gpresult /r /scope computer

Is there a way that Splunk can gather all of this information as a report. I did see there was an app called Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure but it was EOLd. Is there anything new that would audit our computers?

Thanks,
Charlie

In order to get data from Splunk you must first get the data into Splunk. Splunk is a data processing platform but you need go have something to be processed. How would you get that data? Where from? If the only way to produce such data is running gpresult, you need to run it and store the results somehow in Splunk.

Hi @cdavidsonbp 

The content packs might be helpful if you're running ITSI/ITE Work but you will still need to look at collecting the data. The Windows TA you referenced is a great starting point as it can collect AD events and win event logs that should help create the info you need.

Have a look at these docs on AD Audit policy configuration, the docs are for the older exchange app but this functionality is now in the Add-on for Windows.

Please let me know how you get on and consider upvoting/karma this answer if it has helped.
