Group Policy CSE execution order

We have all kinds of tools to help us troubleshoot group policy processing. Modeling and RSoP in the management console get used almost every week around here. Have you ever wondered in which order the client side extensions get processed in, though? Trying to find the answer only led to the helpful but not quite user friendly answer that they are processed in the numerical order they are found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions. However, pointy clicking my way through that list wasn't going to cut it for me. Using powershell it was pretty simple to create a user friendly human readable list. The list and the command to produce it on my Windows 7 Professional workstation are below. How to get at the information remotely, or using another tool, I haven't quite worked out yet, but this seems a good place to start. Command (broken into multiple lines for clarity): $key = "hklm:\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon\gpextensions" $CSEs = get-childitem $key $CSEs | sort name | foreach-object { $_.getvalue('') } Output: Wireless Group Policy Group Policy Environment Group Policy Local Users and Groups Group Policy Device Settings Folder Redirection Microsoft Disk Quota Group Policy Network Options QoS Packet Scheduler Scripts Internet Explorer Zonemapping Group Policy Drive Maps Group Policy Folders Group Policy Network Shares Group Policy Files Group Policy Data Sources Group Policy Ini Files Windows Search Group Policy Extension Internet Explorer User Accelerators Security Deployed Printer Connections Group Policy Services Internet Explorer Branding Group Policy Folder Options Group Policy Scheduled Tasks Group Policy Registry 802.3 Group Policy Group Policy Printers Group Policy Shortcuts Microsoft Offline Files Software Installation TCPIP Internet Explorer Machine Accelerators IP Security Group Policy Internet Settings Group Policy Start Menu Settings Group Policy Regional Options Group Policy Power Options Audit Policy Configuration Group Policy Applications Enterprise QoS CP Not too shabby for a first blog post since I quit and decided to pick it back up again a few years later, eh?
