Ok, a little more clarification. Is there a way to do this so that we do not have to do it to all machines. We have 2 machines that we set/change polices from. We are having inconsistent results of some settings. So what we are looking at doing is trying to remove some of the very old polices that we are no longer using and are just hanging around.

If you really wanted to be thorough, you could also write a script that dumped the relevant registry sections of each client profile, but that would be a huge undertaking of limited value. How many machines do you have that would have logged on in the days of your NT 4 domain? Not many, I'll bet. Just ignore them and use gpresult. Flag all of the machines that may be "polluted" with old NT 4 applied policies and schedule 'em for rebuild. --BM On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 8:13 AM, James Rankin <kz2...@googlemail.com> wrote: > You can view group policies through the Settings tab in GPMC.msc or by using > the RSOP tool.
