Summary

PowerShell is the ultimate Windows administration tool, capable of reaching into even the deepest, darkest parts of our computer and server operating systems. Group Policy administration can be made more efficient by defining your common, everyday tasks, and building out PowerShell commands in order to perform those actions. This enables you to do the daily chores without having to log into a Domain Controller, and without having to open GPMC in any way. These cmdlets can then be saved to be run very quickly in the future, or even set to run automatically at scheduled intervals, such as with GPO Backups.

There are many ways to dig deeper into GPOs by using the PowerShell cmdlets inside the Group Policy module, allowing you to accomplish anything via PowerShell that you would otherwise be able to do with GPMC, including modifying the settings inside GPOs.
