Group Policy objects
When new Active Directory objects are added, the system saves the object data inside the Active Directory database. However, the way GPO is stored is different from the typical Active Directory object. GPO contents are stored in two locations (the Active Directory database and the SYSVOL folder) in the Active Directory environment.
The Group Policy container
As with any other object, the Active Directory database also holds GPO information. This information is more related to system settings and the path reference for the other dataset. When a GPO is created, as with any other Active Directory object, it will also have the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) value. This is important as this value is used by both datasets to refer to each other. This value is used in the Common Name (CN), too. Before we look into datasets, we need to find the GUID value for the GPO. This can be done using the following command:
Get-GPO -name "Test Users"
