1
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:08,490
Group policy modelling allows you to see what the effective policy is for a user or computer.

2
00:00:08,510 --> 00:00:11,540
When multiple policies at different levels are applied.

3
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:16,640
Group policy modelling allows you to simulate what would happen on the different circumstances if objects

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,690
were moved around.

5
00:00:17,690 --> 00:00:22,750
This can often be useful if you have a large GPO structure where enforced and block policy inheritance

6
00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:26,650
have been used a loss and the end result has become somewhat confusing.

7
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:31,520
To access this feature right click on group policy modelling on the left hand side of the screen and

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,830
then click on group policy modelling wizards.

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,380
Once the wizard appears on screen click next.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,070
You will then get the option to choose a domain controller.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,280
In most cases the default settings are fine here so click next to continue.

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,600
You'll then be asked to select a user under your computer depending on the situation you wish to simulate.

13
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:53,030
For our example let's choose the generally Miller user accounts and then click knacks.

14
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:54,910
You'll then see a list of options.

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,540
These are slow network connection loop but processing and size.

16
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:03,830
If your company has a slow network you may want to choose a slow network connection option in the real

17
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:08,840
world a slow network would stop certain group policy settings from applying in order to save network

18
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:09,470
bandwidth.

19
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:12,200
This is usually scripts and software installations.

20
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:15,570
The loop back processing option is usually used for kiosk machines.

21
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:20,480
For example those machines that have limited functions or have specific security requirements.

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,980
The site option allows you to simulate what would happen policy wise if the user was moved to another

23
00:01:24,980 --> 00:01:25,550
site.

24
00:01:25,610 --> 00:01:28,340
For our example we'll be using the default options here.

25
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:33,410
So we'll click Next This displays options that allow you to simulate changes to the user or computer

26
00:01:33,410 --> 00:01:36,620
location depending on which option you selected earlier.

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,150
Clicking next here allows you to simulate changes to security groups.

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,890
Next again we've got to look through my filters next against the simulation process and then finally

29
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:48,890
the results can be viewed on screen by clicking on finish.

30
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:54,950
Now that we've gone over group policy modelling let's move onto the GPL D GP results and our SOP commands

31
00:01:55,130 --> 00:02:00,010
and how they can be used to force updates and diagnose and resolve problems with group policy.
