Understanding Rsop

As you learned in Chapter 10, GPOs are cumulative as they are applied to a local computer

, site, domain, and OU hierarchy. RSoP is the sum of the policies applied to a user or computer, including the application of filters, such as through security groups and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and exceptions, such as No Override and Block Policy Inheritance. Because of the cumulative effects of GPOs, filters, and exceptions, determining a user or computer's RSoP can be difficult. However, the ability to generate RSoP queries in Windows Server 2003 makes determining RSoP easier. In Windows Server 2003, an RSoP query engine is available to poll existing GPOs and report the affects of GPOs on users and computers IT Exams. The query engine also checks for security groups and WMI queries used to filter GPO scope, and checks Software Installation for any applications that are associated with a particular user or computer and reports the affects of these settings as -well. This information is gathered from the Common Information Management Object Model (CIMOM) database.

Note A detailed discussion of WMI is beyond the scope of this training kit. For detailed information about WMI, refer to the MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library. You can find information about WMI by pointing to Setup and System Information, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and finally Technical Articles.

Windows Server 2003 provides the following three tools for generating RSoP queries:

Resultant Set Of Policy Wizard

Gpresult command-line tool

Advanced System Information-Policy tool

Each tool uses a different interface and provides different levels of RSoP query information, as discussed in the sections that follow.
