Overview

This node operation, Retrieve Ad Gpos View, is designed to query and retrieve Group Policy Objects (GPOs) views from an Active Directory environment. It allows users to specify filtering conditions, pagination controls, and sorting options to customize the data retrieval. This operation is useful in scenarios where administrators or automation workflows need to extract detailed GPO information for auditing, reporting, or integration with other systems.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a filtered list of GPOs based on specific attributes or conditions.
  • Paginating through large sets of GPO records by skipping and limiting results.
  • Ordering the retrieved GPOs by certain fields such as name or creation date.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id header value required for authentication or identification in the request.
Condition Query condition string to filter the GPOs returned by the API.
Skip Number of records to skip for pagination purposes.
Limit Maximum number of records to return.
Order By Field(s) by which to order the returned GPO records.

Output

The output of this operation is a JSON array containing the retrieved GPO view records matching the specified query parameters. Each item in the array represents a single GPO view object with its associated properties as returned by the Active Directory API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would typically represent attachments or exported files related to GPOs, but this operation focuses on JSON data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to an Active Directory service endpoint that exposes the GPO views via an API.
  • Needs an API key or token credential configured in n8n for authenticating requests.
  • The X USER ID header must be provided to identify the user making the request.
  • No additional external libraries beyond those bundled with the node are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The API may reject requests without a valid user identifier header. Ensure this property is set correctly.
  • Invalid query condition syntax: If the Condition string is malformed, the API might return errors or empty results. Validate the query format according to the Active Directory API documentation.
  • Pagination issues: Setting Skip or Limit incorrectly (e.g., negative numbers) could cause unexpected results or errors.
  • Ordering errors: Using unsupported fields in Order By may lead to API errors or ignored parameters.
  • Authentication failures: Verify that the API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions to access GPO data.
