Group Policy Troubleshooting

We have always the same issue, lots of workstations that not apply an specific GPO(Group Policy Objects), and fomr the server side for someone of us, we ask the technicians to send us the Group Policy results from the affected Computer, Users. In fact, server administrators can always have and see this Policy Results remotely from the GPMC( GP Management Console), but maybe the hostnames are unknown for them, so what do we have to do as tech support?

Elevate a command prompt and run this script:

gpresult /s 10.20.198.12 /u CONTOSO.LOCAL\domainadminaccount /p mypassword /user targetuser /z >c:\userpolicy.txt


where, the IP is any IP client in your domain, the CONTOSO.LOCAL is the name of your windows domain, the domainadminaccount is the account with privileges for administering workstations in the domain, tha targetuser is any user who has reported a problem with any kind of GPO (i.e. screensaver, slow logon, etc).
