How is Get-GPRegistryValue helpful

[ChipMcCaslin]

This is a silly and useless command. None of the other commands provide the registry key locations or parent locations of settings of a given policy. Also if you go to the effort of recursive searching none of the data returned provides correlation to the applied setting / policy path name in Group Policy. The only way to build this correlation would be to turn each setting on one at a time and perform this inspection which is absolutely insane. There's a lot of value to be derived from correlating security standards based policies to their real world change on the system so that you can modernize with MDM or DSC.... Why doesn't this exist? You should be able to provide the name of the policy and it should spit out each policy setting name, state, and associated system configuration item such as the implementing registry keys without requiring intimate registry knowledge of the operator.
