How do I get gpresult.exe output?

Resolution

Notes:

  • Ensure Administrative privileges are in place and a Windows-based device is used, as gpresult.exe is a Windows command/tool for displaying Group Policy Results.
  • Make sure the necessary rights and permissions to view the Group Policy Results are available. If there are any issues with the process, adjustments to account permissions may be needed (reach the local IT administrator, if required).

Steps to follow:

  1. Click the Start button, type "Command Prompt", right-click and choose "Run as administrator".
  2. Enter the command gpresult /z > gpresult-z.txt into the Command Prompt and press 'Enter.' This action will execute the gpresult /z command and store the output in a text file named gpresult-z.txt.
  3. In the Command Prompt, type gpresult-z.txt, then press 'Enter.' The output file will open in Notepad and present detailed information about the Group Policies applied to the system.

This procedure will generate the gpresult.exe output, providing a view of all Group Policies in effect.
