Backup All GPOs using Powershell

I uploaded a new script to backup all GPOs and the Scripts folder located in th sysvol share.
It will be saved to a server in a folder named as the current date.


- Run this script using a schedule task

Open the Task Scheduler on your server.

Right-Click on "Task Scheduler Library" and select "Create a Basic Task".

Define a Name/Description, Trigger...

On the "Action" section you have to select Start a Program and enter the following options.
Program/script: powershell
Add arguments (optional): -file "C:\admin\Scripts\GPOBackup\GPOBackupV2.ps1"

On the "Finish" section checking "Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click Finish" and click "Finish".

To run whether user is logged on or not, select the option in the General tab, click ok and enter credentials.
