Fighting the good GPO fight.
oh jeez -
AD is such a mess.... I don't even SEE GPOs. And it's a mix of Site based and User based OUs - Like . .really?? management much? (burn it,.. burn it with fire!) -

I love,... err hate GPOs.. I need to review a few to understand how things are being deployed / set. (eye roll).
Why do you hate GPOs? I love them!
They are window's version of ansible as far as I know. -

They are window's version of ansible as far as I know.Because they are great when they work as designed. and suck when they don't.
GP objects are a mess. I can't find any type of password policy,.. yet there is one.

Isn't that the case with any management system?

To a point, but GPOs are a pain to manage, especially when just looking at them for the first time. Not nearly so quick to look at and understand like Ansible/Salt

If you open the settings tab, it will show you only the things changed for that policy.. but yeah.. reading this vs reading a text file for Ansible is a lot harder.

And they lack tools. Looking at a GPO often requires all kinds of annoying "remote into a desktop on the network, attach to the server, look at a small, remote GUI" and on and on.
Ansible I would typically either use a "straight to the source" web editor like GitLab has which is gorgeous and fast. Or use something like VS Code on my local machine. Even the Microsoft provided tooling for Ansible blows their tools for GPO out of the water. If we look at Microsoft's effort to make products accessible and usable, they seem to believe in Ansible far and away more than GPO. GPO tools make it clear that the developers at MS see it as the red headed stepchild.

True, they haven't really updated it in 20 years.

Yeah, it's rough.

@nadnerb .. pretty bloddy shitfully to be honest.
we were in lock up about 4 weeks ago for a week, looks like we'll be locked up for at least 2 weeks, thanks to the tardiness of the nsw govt.
holiday looks lost again, 2nd year in a row.
this is beginning to fuck with me. i'm lucky, i live in the bush and i'm older, but the younger ones in the city & suburbs must be beginning to go nuts.
Understandable. As cliché as it sounds, the holiday will be all the sweeter once you get there.
Hang in there mate. Loking forward to hearing that you've crossed the border into the Wait Awhile state... even if it's a while off.
