If a setting is greyed out with 'Some settings are managed by your organization', gpresult shows which policies are applied and where they came from. /h saves a readable HTML report.

Takes effect right away

The easy way

  1. Run the command in an elevated Command Prompt and open gpreport.html from the desktop.
  2. gpresult /r prints a shorter summary in the console. Add /scope user or /scope computer to limit it.

Command

Run in an administrator Command Prompt / Terminal window.

gpresult /h %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\gpreport.html /f
/f overwrites an existing report with the same name. This only reads policy results.
