Symptom
You need to find out which policies are set to your computer.
Cause
This can be used for troubleshooting policies in a windows domain.
Solution
To generate a report from the policies you open a command line (= execute cmd.exe)
Now you enter the following command:
gpresult /h c:\temp\gpo_result.html
Please note, not every system has a c:\temp directory. You might need to change the path of the output file.
This will generate a html file containing the policies which are working on the computer. You can open this file with your favorite browser.
Have fun.
