Conflicts

Generally, more than one group policy object applies the same settings with different values.

It is hard to find the eventually applied value policy settings by analyzing the link order, precedence, inheritance, etc.

The Conflict feature allows users to reveal the finally applied settings by analyzing the resultant set of policies (RSOP) by considering their link order,precedence,inheritance,etc.

In the end, users can compare and analyze their resultant set of policies with the baselines that are prepared by the Microsoft.

The Conflicts module shows the Computers, Users, and OUs (Organizational Units) entities that have at least one conflicted setting.

Conflicts on Compters

The Computers table shows the Name, OS, IP Address, Privileged, Admin and Conflict Count information about the each affected entitiy.

Conflict Count : The number of detected conflicted settings, that are applied by more than one group policy object. (See Glossary for definition of the other columns)

Each row forwards the user to the conflict detail page about the entity.

Conflicts on Users

The Users table shows the Enabled, Locked, Service User, Privileged, Admin and Conflict Count information about the each affected entitiy.
