  2. In the Group Policy Results Wizard, click Next and enter the appropriate information.

  3. After completing the wizard, click Finish.

  4. If you want to print or save the report, right-click the settings report in the results pane and do one of the following:

    • Select Print to print the report.

    • Select Save Report to save the report.

Additional considerations

  • To access Group Policy Results data for a user or computer, you must have Read Group Policy Results Data permission on the domain or organizational unit that contains the user or computer, or you must be a member of a local administrator's group on the targeted computer.

  • To customize the information displayed in a report, click Show or Hide to display only the data you want to view or print.

  • From within GPMC, it is not possible to use the keyboard to navigate inside an HTML report. To navigate inside the HTML report, save the report to a file and then use a Web browser to view the report.

  • If you open a previously saved console and want to save a Group Policy Modeling or Group Policy Results report in XML, rerun the report using the Rerun Query option.

  • To view a saved report in a Web browser, you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6 or later.

  • Group Policy Results is supported only on computers running Windows XP and later.
