RESULTANT SET OF POLICY
With Windows Server 2003 administrators can determine the actual resulting set of policy for a given user or computer. They can also play what-if scenarios. These features are reflected in two new modes. The logging mode allows examination of what was processed on a given computer. The planning mode permits performance of "what-if" analysis for a specified location in the directory, security group membership, and WMI filtering properties.
The Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) wizard guides an administrator through the steps necessary to this process. This tool can determine the state of a target and run scenarios. As the user manipulates the way in which Group Policy might be applied, the impacts can then be analyzed. This allows quick inspection of differences under new criteria. This feature is available in the Resultant Set of Policy Snap-in or the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in; right-click a container, user, or computer.
