fix

Most of the repository operations that are performed from the user interface can be automated by using the repository scripting objects and their methods. The following list identifies the primary scripting objects:

  • Root

    Creation of this object is a prerequisite for any repository script operation as this exposes the key method to connect to the repository database. Other methods include domain creation, enumeration and creation of other repository objects.

  • Domain

    Offers functionality to create categories, enumerate categories and delete domains.

  • Category

    Offers functionality to create GPO, Enumerate GPOs in category, Import GPO from Active Directory, Delete Category.

  • GPO

    Offers functionality to report, Copy, Paste, Migrate, Query GPO status and modify GPO status.
