Which Active Directory Group Policies are being Applied to your Accounts

Playing a bit of detective, I started reviewing Active Directory Group Policies that had been applied to workstations, in an attempt to resolve a few reported concerns regarding polices being applied successfully.

Using the gpresult command I was able to output all of the polices applied. The command requires the specification of scope to be issued correctly.  Example below:

 

Policies applied to your user account:

gpresult /Scope User /v

 

Policies applied to your Computer:

gpresult /Scope Computer /v

Only settings that have been applied to your machine and user account will show up.

 

Oh! And yes there is Graphical Interface for this tool.
You can get to it by executing the following steps below:

Type rsop.msc into the run box , then hit enter

A pop-up dialog will show while querying your system.

Once the console opens you will be able to see which settings have been applied to your PC.
