Get-MtSysvolContent

SYNOPSIS​

Reads and analyzes one Group Policy Object from SYSVOL.

SYNTAX​

Get-MtSysvolContent [[-Operation] <String>] [-GpoGuid] <String> [[-RelativePath] <String>]
[[-MaxFileBytes] <Int64>] [[-MaxGpoBytes] <Int64>] [[-TimeoutSeconds] <Int32>]
[-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

Provides a single private Connect, List, ReadText, and ReadBytes transport contract across Windows native SMB and Unix smbclient. It uses the resolved Active Directory server, domain, and credential in the Maester session.

Connect validates access, lists bounded files, and parses GPT.INI, every XML file below the GPO, and GptTmpl.inf. No password values are returned. Reads reject unsafe paths and throw instead of truncating files over 10 MiB or a GPO inventory over 100 MiB.

EXAMPLES​

EXAMPLE 1​

Get-MtSysvolContent -Operation Connect -GpoGuid '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}'

EXAMPLE 2​

Get-MtSysvolContent -Operation ReadText -GpoGuid '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}' -RelativePath 'GPT.INI'
