Microsoft and other third-party solutions exist such as AGMP (Advanced Group Policy Management) and Netwrix exist that all have ways to audit Group Policy. How many of the settings implemented can be justified? How many settings are applied to all users when in theory not everyone needs it applied to them? How many settings are configured but never removed when no longer needed? A Group Policy system could start with ten settings, and end up with hundreds. With this in mind, it’s easy to lose track of the configurations that are made. Many large enterprise companies come with large IT teams, many of whom have the ability to work within Group Policy and do so frequently. This should apply to every environment, as such it is equally important to track all changes made to Group Policy in a Citrix environment.
Auditing Group Policy changes is a good practice to apply to ensure no settings are removed or added that could affect end-user experience.
