They define security settings, permissions, device configurations, and software restrictions. In the event of a disaster, human error, or simply a need to roll back after a change, not having a backup of your GPOs means facing hours of tedious reconstruction.</p> <p>The graphical interface of the Group Policy Management Console does offer a backup feature, but it is manual, easy to overlook, and, most importantly, not versioned. The goal of this article is to automate this process cleanly using Ansible via WinRM, on an infrastructure comprising <strong>two separate Active Directory domains</strong>, with long-term archiving on a NAS and reporting via email.</p>
