… why twice? 😉

Could you please format your code as code here in the forum? Thanks in advance.

Don’t you get error messages when you run this code? If you get error messages you should post them here as well. Post them completely and formatted as code as well, please.

When you carefully read the help for …

> **[Get-GPOReport (GroupPolicy)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/grouppolicy/get-gporeport?view=windowsserver2019-ps)**

> Use this topic to help manage Windows and Windows Server technologies with Windows PowerShell.

… you will see that the paramters “`-Name`” and “`-GUID`” only take single values. Your variable “`$g`” on the other hand is an array. That’s why you need to use a loop to provide one single element at a time for Get-GPOReport.

So you may read the help for
