00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,600
When creating or troubleshooting a group policy it's often important to be able to resolve any problems

2
00:00:08,630 --> 00:00:09,860
as quickly as possible.

3
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:13,180
One great way to do this is through the use of some come online tools.

4
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:15,430
The first of these tools is GP update.

5
00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:19,750
This is normally used when a group policy has been changed and needs to be updated quickly.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,520
You can use this command to update user policies computer policies or both at the same time to open

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,000
a command prompt dialog box.

8
00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:32,770
Press the Windows key and act bombs on your keyboard at the same time and click on command prompt admin

9
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:40,100
to update just the user policy type GP update forward slash target coal on user space forward slash

10
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:47,870
force to update just the computer policy type GPO date forward slash target colon computer space forward

11
00:00:47,870 --> 00:00:51,100
slash force to update both policies at the same time.

12
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:57,200
This is the most commonly used command simply type GP update space forward slash force.

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,180
Once you have entered the relevant Command press and sets her on it some policies may need you to walk

14
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:03,870
off before they can be applied.

15
00:01:03,890 --> 00:01:04,840
If this is the case.

16
00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:06,920
Select yes when prompted to do so.

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,870
Next is the GP resource command.

18
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:13,780
This allows you to see which group policies are applied to a user or computer at any one time.

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,820
You run this command open a command prompt window and type GP result space forward slash are and then

20
00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:25,670
press enter you will then see the resultant set of policy also known as our SOP data for the user and

21
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:27,800
computer policies for the machine.

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,470
Finally another useful command is our SOPs base forward slash are the main difference between this and

23
00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:39,170
GP update being that our SoC forwards our show displays the data in much the same way as when you configure

24
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:42,380
a group policy using the group policy management console.

25
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:47,600
When you run the R slots at our command a dialog box will appear on screen with the current user and

26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,300
computer selected as the default search query to run this feature with a different user and your computer

27
00:01:53,390 --> 00:01:58,580
right click on our slot at the top of the screen and then click on change query the change query dialog

28
00:01:58,580 --> 00:02:04,190
box will then appear on screen select the relevant computer and then click on Next on the screen select

29
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:09,320
the relevant user and then click on Next again click on Next again after this amend click on finish

30
00:02:09,590 --> 00:02:12,140
the results for your query will then appear on screen.

31
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:16,850
If you browse through the different options you'll see that it's similar to configuring a group policy

32
00:02:16,910 --> 00:02:21,650
but in this case it will only show the options that are currently applied to the user until the computer

33
00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:22,390
in question.

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Now that we've gone over some useful command line tools let's move onto the next part of the course.

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,060
The basics of group policy preferences.
