RSoP Comparison

Generally, multiple Group Policy Objects apply the same settings with different values.

It can be difficult to determine the final value of policy settings by analyzing link order, precedence, inheritance, and other factors.

The RSoP comparison feature helps users identify the ultimately applied settings by analyzing the Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP) based on link order, precedence, inheritance, and more.

Finally, users can compare and analyze their resultant set of policies against the baselines.

The RSoP Comparison module displays the Computers, Users, and OUs (Organizational Units) that have at least one incompatible setting.

RSoP on Computers

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

Conflict Count: The number of detected incompatible settings applied by more than one Group Policy Object. (See Glossary for definitions of the other columns.)

RSoP on Users

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

Conflict Count: The number of detected incompatible settings applied by more than one Group Policy Object. (See Glossary for definitions of the other columns.)

RSoP on Organizational Units

The OUs (Organizational Units) table shows the Member Count, Linked GPO Count, and Conflict Count information about each OU.

Conflict Count: The number of detected incompatible settings applied by more than one Group Policy Object. (See Glossary for definitions of the other columns.)
