Is there a tool that will go through group polices and let you know what is set and what is not set. We have polices that have been set way back with NT 4 and now that we are upgrading to Win 2008 and already have a 2008 DC in place so we are trying to clean up the polices that we have to hopefull

You can view group policies through the Settings tab in GPMC.msc or by using the RSOP tool. I am amazed to hear that you set Group Policies in NT4 mind, I thought they only arrived with Active Directory! Or are you referring to local system policies? 2008/12/22 SMREKAR, JACK > Is there a tool t

There was a means of setting policies in NT 4 Problem with that is that once set, they stay set, so there may be artifacts lurking. command line tool gpresult is good because you can script it. If you really wanted to be thorough, you could also write a script that dumped the relevant registry sec

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

If you're working to a very tight budget I guess a simple HTTP-based folder view might do the trick. Whatever you choose I don't recommend using XP's SMB 1.0 protocol - too flaky across high latency network connections, i.e. Internet. On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 7:21 PM, Glen Johnson wrote: > Micha
