Locating a GPO setting

What is the best way to search for a policy setting within AD? I tried right clicking the GPMC and doing search but its not granular enough. Is there a better way? We have numerous GPO objects and cannot seem to see if we changed a setting within any of them. I want to be able to find something without having to click through them all.

For ex: I want to see if we enabled "allow dynamic updates" in IE.


I hope this makes sense

Easier way to see what policy are being applied is to download this tool.

I used to apply policies on test machines and this was the best way to see what is being applied and where its being applied.

or go to CMD and type RSOP
Run a RSOP.MSC , It will provide a list of GPOs and their settings

or Try GPResult /r /scope Computer
