Get unlinked GPOs with PowerShell

Fri, 06 Oct 2017 10:06:49 +0000

In terms of IT compliance having valid GPOs is essential. They must be update to date and the GPO directory should be free of any unlinked GPOs. Retrieving a list of unlinked GPOs in the management console is impossible. With PowerShell it is quite easy.

E-Mail report of unchecked SharePoint files

Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:05:42 +0000

Having unchecked files in the SharePoint is not a big deal as long as you aware of the those files.

Being unaware of which files are unchecked can really harm the information integrity of the SharePoint.

In one of my last posts I’ve reported the SharePoint storage space used by files and found about 1 GB of unchecked files by several people.

As they are in most cases unaware of those files or even don’t understand what the file check-in/check-out is about, it’s almost impossible to handle this files.
