Sharing a free web tool that diffs GPO backups, in case it's useful here

Figuring out what actually changed between two GPOs is a pain, so I made a web tool that does exactly that. You drop in 2 to 5 GPO backups and it shows the differences side by side.

It takes a backed-up GPO folder (or its ZIP), a Get-GPOReport XML, or a Get-GPOReport HTML, with search, collapsible categories, and export to CSV/Markdown/HTML for tickets or change docs.

It runs entirely in your browser and nothing gets uploaded.

It lives here, alongside an ADMX policy viewer I also run: https://admscope.com

Free, no login. If you hit a bug or have a feature you'd like to see, let me know.

Edit: You can also use it to just look inside a single backup - load one, remove the second slot, and you get a clean, searchable view of that GPO on its own.

Hey r/Intune,

I couldn't find an ADMX viewer that worked the way I wanted, so I built my own - 19,000+ settings across 65+ products, searchable in seconds.

https://admscope.com - a free, browser-based ADMX viewer: Windows, Office, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Citrix, Zoom, and many more.

Search & Filtering
- Instant search across name, description, registry path, value type, category, source file, supported OS - with exact phrase support
- Browse by category tree
- Filter by MDM/Intune support or GPO-only policies
- Help text for every search option so you don't have to guess the syntax

Policy Details & Export
- Registry paths, expected values, supported OS versions, and OMA-URI for Intune-supported policies
- Export results as JSON, CSV, or Markdown - or download an HTML report for a single policy
- Every policy has a direct URL you can share with your team
- Links to the original ADMX template downloads

Reg Builder
- Generate .reg files or PowerShell scripts for one or multiple policies at once
- Copy or download with one click

Language Support
- 80+ languages included - switch languages while staying on the same policy

Your Data Stays Local
- Bookmark policies, add your own notes, track recent history
- Export/import everything as JSON
- Nothing is stored on a server - it all lives in your browser

Interface
- Works on desktop, tablet, and phone
- Dark and light mode, adjustable columns, zoom

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Edit - New Features:
- Local ADMX import - Load your own .admx/.adml folder directly in the browser. Files are parsed locally - no upload, no network request, no tracking. Shows up in the source dropdown with a LOCAL badge.
- (BETA) Intune Remediation + SCCM CI scripts - For any policy, the "Reg Builder" now generates Detection + Remediation scripts for both Intune Remediations and SCCM Configuration Items.
