Last GPO refresh time

Question

Which WMI class contains the information of last gpo application time in that computer? I checked RSOP_Session's CreationTime property, but it is showing some time in 2013 year (10 years old time). I checked in another machine, that is also showing time as 20130822145022.000000+000

Kindly assist me in getting the required info (Not interested in using gpresult command to get the last time the gpos applied on a computer).

Hello,

The WMI class that contains the information about the last Group Policy Object (GPO) application time on a computer is the RSOP_PolicySettingStatus class. This class is available under the root\RSOP\Computer namespace in WMI.

To retrieve the last GPO application time, you can use the LastTimePolicyApplied property of the RSOP_PolicySettingStatus class. Here's an example of how you can query this information using PowerShell:

$namespace = "root\RSOP\Computer"

$className = "RSOP_PolicySettingStatus"

Connect to WMI

$wmi = Get-WmiObject -Namespace $namespace -Class $className

Retrieve the last GPO application time

$lastGPOApplicationTime = $wmi | Select-Object -ExpandProperty LastTimePolicyApplied

Display the last GPO application time

$lastGPOApplicationTime

Please note that this class provides information about the last GPO application time within the Resultant Set of Policy (RSOP) context, which includes both computer and user policies applied to the computer.
