RSOP vs GPEDIT ???

[Guest JN3]

Studying for MCSE...need help with this one.

OK Local GP's applied then SDOU...got it.

RSOP... Resultant set...

Now if Local GPO is applied, and clearly it is, why doesn't RSOP show the

effects of the Local GP?

 

Symptom: e.g. I assing an IPSEC policy on a server locally. GPEDIT shows

it's there, IpSecMon shows its there, the policy is working according to

network access tests. But using RSOP...no IPSEC policies to be found.

 

Doesn't seem to be well documented... but RSOP apparently does not show the

effects of the local GPO. Why not? This would seem to be useful info in the

RSOP info, no?

 

I'm only getting domain-based GP info in my RSOP display. This is

apparently true of all Local policies, not just IpSec. Is there some way to

include the local info? Or is there some reason that Local GPO info is not

desirable in RSOP info? Would love to understand this.

 

Preshate help for the newbie.
