David is spot on! click 'show all' at the top.<br />
<br />
&lt;/P&gt;
</div>


<div>
Thanks David! &nbsp;I was hoping it was that easy. &nbsp;And I'm still glad I asked, even though I feel a little stupid for never clicking on that Settings tab.
</div>


<div>
I don't agree. The result set of policy (as per Adam's comment) or GPO modeling is the method to see applied policies.<br />
<br />
Just looking at one policy at a time will not give you a clear understanding of how and where settings are applied from
</div>


<div>
To be honest, I think the original question was a bit ambiguous and I took it as &quot;How do I see what settings are being applied when logged in as an end-user&quot;, not &quot;How do I see what settings are set in a GPO on the server-side&quot;. &nbsp;Just because the GPO exists there with settings defined doesn't mean it's actually applying those settings, either due to not being linked to an OU, being filtered out via security principals or a WMI filter. &nbsp;That's where RSOP/gpresult comes in to help troubleshoot.<br />
<br />
In other words: I overthought the answer to a very simple question :)
</div>


<div>
Adam and Shaun you are correct. &nbsp;I was taking a leap in logic to whatever was in my policy was being applied to the users. &nbsp;Should have said SEE all that is in the GPO that is trying to be applied to the OU/users. &nbsp;Thanks for your interest in this question. &nbsp;I appreciate the detail.

I inherited a server for a small group (20 users). &nbsp;I'm trying to understand the group policy that is assigned. &nbsp;It just says STAFF and I know that there is drive maps and folder redirection in the same group policy object. &nbsp;Is there a way to &quot;see&quot; all that is within this policy that is activated to affect the Staff? &nbsp;There are so many items and possibilities. &nbsp;How can I know and find everything in a list of some sort that is being applied?<br />

I inherited a server for a small group (20 users).  I'm trying to understand the group policy that is assigned.  It just says STAFF and I know that there is drive maps and folder redirection in the same group policy object.  Is there a way to "see" all that is within this policy that is activated to affect the Staff?  There are so many items and possibilities.  How can I know and find everything in a list of some sort that is being applied?

thanks

SEEING everything that is active in a Group Policy Object

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Windows Server 2016 is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. Built upon the same core code as Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 brings enhancements in security, servicing, and connectivity. A particular focus on this release was hybrid-cloud scenarios, and has close ties to Azure and other Microsoft cloud initiatives. This does not detract from the many improvements that are available for on-premises-only deployments

Windows Server 2016 comes in Datacenter, Standard, and Essentials editions, and for servicing, has adopted windows 10's cumulative model. The new nano-server install is designed to be remotely managed and is designed to be kept current through continuous feature updates. The full GUI install operates similarly to windows 10's "Long Term Servicing Branch" (LTSB) model with cumulative security updates.

Windows Server 2016 has also shifted from a per-processor-and-CAL licensing model to a per-core-and CAL licensing model. This brings Windows Server's licensing more in line with Microsoft's other products and makes hybrid-cloud license planning easier as well.
