Does anyone know of a way to find the GUID of a specific GPO given its name using VBScript? I've seen a lot of examples to go from a GUID to a GPO, but not the other way around.
Use an LDAP query that filters for a given display name. The name
attribute of the GPO contains the GUID.
displayName = "..."
domain = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE").Get("defaultNamingContext")
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
cn.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set cmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT name " & _
"FROM 'LDAP://CN=Policies,CN=System," & domain & "' " & _
"WHERE objectClass = 'groupPolicyContainer' AND " & _
"displayName = '" & displayName & "'"
Set rs = cmd.Execute
Do Until rs.EOF
WScript.Echo rs.Fields("name").Value
rs.MoveNext
Loop
