Are you looking to do this programmatically? The DN of a GPO is simply the
GUID appended to the CN=policies,CN=system container within your domain. So,
for example if the GUID of a GPO is {0AE0B115-0581-4013-92D2-4DA33B273E3B},
then its DN is

CN={0AE0B115-0581-4013-92D2-4DA33B273E3B},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=mydomain,
DC=com

where mydomain.com is the name of your domain.
