Creating a Group Policy Report for a Device

2/9/2009

The following procedure shows you how to generate a summary report of Group Policy settings for a specific managed Windows Mobile device.

Anyone who has read access to the policies can view data that is set by Group Policy, such as wireless local area network (WLAN) passwords. Therefore, you should store exported reports that MDM Group Policy Extensions create in a secure area.

Note

On an MDM installation where the default language is Simplified Chinese, the characters in the report will not be properly displayed if the character encoding is set to Automatic or Chinese (Simplified). To correct this issue, change the encoding to Unicode (UTF-8). You do this by right-clicking the report, selecting Encoding from the menu, and then selecting Unicode (UTF-8).

To create a Group Policy report for a device

  1. In the Group Policy Management Console, right-click Windows Mobile Group Policy Results, select Windows Mobile Group Policy Results Wizard, and then choose Next.

  2. In the Device Selection dialog box, specify the managed device for which you want to generate a Group Policy report. You can either enter or search for the managed device name, or you can search for the user name of the managed device owner. The latter option will produce a list of managed devices owned by the specified user, from which you can select the target managed device.

  3. In the Selected Device dialog box, review the summary information to verify that you specified the correct managed device.

  4. Choose Next to generate the report.

  5. Choose Finish to close the wizard and view the report.
