Re: Getting GPO names

OK great. Thanks Torgeir it works well.

I have noticed that you are building the array by the ';0]' delimiter. I've
noticed that sometimes there is a ';2]' delimiter on some policies? What is
this value?

Follow up question. Given the name or the AdsPath, how do I go about
getting the settings in such policy?

Sorry about the multiple post. New to the newsgroup thing. My apologies.
