Group Policy Results tool does not return a complete list of security policies in Windows Server 2003 (830748)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition
SYMPTOMSWhen you run the Group Policy Results tool (Gpresult.exe) on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, the tool does not return a complete list of domain policies. For example, when you run the Gpresult.exe tool on a primary domain controller (PDC) emulator, you may receive the following output: Account Policies
----------------
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxServiceAge
Computer Setting: 600
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxTicketAge
Computer Setting: 10
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MinimumPasswordAge
Computer Setting: N/A
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: PasswordHistorySize
Computer Setting: 3
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxClockSkew
Computer Setting: 5
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MinimumPasswordLength
Computer Setting: N/A
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: LockoutBadCount
Computer Setting: N/A
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaximumPasswordAge
Computer Setting: 43
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxRenewAge
Computer Setting: 7 However, when you run the Gpresult.exe tool on a computer that is not acting as the PDC emulator, you may receive the following output: Account Policies
----------------
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxServiceAge
Computer Setting: 600
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxTicketAge
Computer Setting: 10
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxClockSkew
Computer Setting: 5
GPO: Default Domain Policy
Policy: MaxRenewAge
Computer Setting: 7 CAUSEThis behavior occurs when you run the Gpresult.exe tool on a computer that is not acting as the PDC emulator. Some policies, such as system access policies, are automatically replicated by Active Directory and are not reported on replicas.STATUS
This behavior is by design.
