| Hi,
A RSOP and local policies question from a colleague. Passed on here verbatim :-)
Any ideas?
neil
"Do you know of issues using RSOP to see local policy settings (or rather to see the full RSOP including local settings).
I seem to be getting variable results on both XP and Vista .
(To be honest, in the past I've not had to deal much with local policies as I've always used Domain GPOs).
The problem I'm seeing is that the RSOP reports (generated locally and via GPMC) include some references to local policies, but many are not visible even though GPEDIT shows them as set.
Its not that they are being over-ridden by domain/ou GP settings, its that the setting doesn't appear in the report at all.
This is particularly true for settings under 'Security Options' for example.
Some settings are showing as defined in "Local Group Policy" e.g. under Computer Config\Admin templates and Startup & Logon scripts under Windows Settings\Scripts.
Any thoughts?"

| Yep. Known issue with RSOP on the local GPO. Basically this information is not collected at all for any security policy. The reason for this is that when you set local security policy, the changes are being made right then and there to the system's SAM/registry. There is no Client Side Extension that is processing those local security settings, hence no RSOP is being collected for them. You should be able to get RSOP for the other local extensions like Admin. Templates, but not at all for security. No known work-around that I know of-this has been the behavior since XP and is an acknowledged limitation.
