Using 'Get-GPInheritance' Command in Powershell 7

Henrik_Andre_Olsen 

I'm not a habitual PowerShell (as distinct from Windows PowerShell) user, but working with the Get-GPInheritance commandlet in this thread:

1. I can replicate the listed issue when using:

   Import-Module -Name GroupPolicy;

2. The commandlet returns the expected result when having used:

   Import-Module -Name GroupPolicy -SkipEditionCheck

It's worth noting that - at least under my now out-of-date PowerShell 7.2.6 - it provides a warning message upon loading this module that it's using the compatibility process described in the documentation:

• about Windows PowerShell Compatibility - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn

This may or may not having been around back when this post was created - I have no idea (as I don't use PowerShell.)

I should add that this is assuming you're on Windows (I'm not sure if the GroupPolicy module exists for other platforms), and I fully recognise that testing this one specific scenario is a very long way from being comprehensive.

That disclaimer out of the way, when running the same type check against InheritedGpoLinks (having used -SkipEditionCheck) - in line with the previous posts, it confirms the module is running in-process, meaning serialisation and de-serialisation are no longer an issue.

Cheers,
