Determining the policy settings that are in effect is possible by using Resultant Set of Policy snap-in. You can open the snap-in using the steps outlined below:

1. Click Start and select Run.
2. Type mmc and Click OK.
3. From the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in.
4. Click Add.
5. From the list, select Resultant Set of Policy. Click Add.
6. Click Next.
7. Click Logging mode. Click Next.
8. Click Next to use the local computer.
9. Click Next to display policy settings for the current user.
10. Click Next.
11. Click Finish.
12. Click Close. Click OK.

You can then use the RSoP snap-in to view the current policy settings.

Conversely, you can also have the group policy settings written to a text on your computer by issuing the gpresult command. Simply open the command prompt (Start, Run, and type cmd) and issue the following command:

Gpresult /v >c:local.txt

Once the command runs, you will be able to open the text file and view the group policy settings. The information in the text file will also tell you the last time the policy settings were applied, where the policy was applied from, and the slow link threshold.
