Configuration driven Active Directory management.

Invoke-DMGPLink

SYNOPSIS

Applies the desired group policy linking configuration.

SYNTAX

Invoke-DMGPLink [[-InputObject] <Object>] [[-Server] <ComputerParameter>] [[-Credential] <PSCredential>]
 [-Disable] [-EnableException] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Applies the desired group policy linking configuration. Use Register-DMGPLink to define the desired state.

Note: Invoke-DMGroupPolicy uses links to safely determine GPOs it can delete! It will look for GPOs that have been linked to managed folders in order to avoid fragile name lookups. Removing the old links before cleaning up the associated GPOs might leave orphaned GPOs in your domain. To avoid deleting old links, use the -Disable parameter.

Recommended execution order:
