Difficulty: HardMicrosoft Command-Line Tools

A technician is troubleshooting an issue where a newly deployed User Configuration Group Policy Object (GPO) fails to apply to a user's session on a domain-joined Windows 11 workstation. Computer Configuration policies update without issue. The technician opens Command Prompt and needs to generate a summary RSoP (Resultant Set of Policy) report restricted specifically to the user context to verify applied GPOs and security group memberships. Which command should the technician execute?

  1. gpresult /scope user /rAnswer
  2. B
    gpupdate /target:user /force
  3. C
    secpol.msc
  4. D
    gpresult /scope computer /v

Answer

The command 'gpresult /scope user /r' should be executed to display the summary Resultant Set of Policy report for the user context.
The command 'gpresult /scope user /r' is correct because 'gpresult' displays Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) information. The '/scope user' switch limits output strictly to User Configuration policy settings, and the '/r' switch outputs a concise summary report directly within the Command Prompt interface.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary troubleshooting goal.
The goal is to inspect and verify applied User Configuration Group Policy settings (RSoP summary) via the command line.
The technician must verify policy processing for the specific user session without including machine-level policies.
2
Select the appropriate command-line utility.
Select 'gpresult' (Resultant Set of Policy tool) rather than 'gpupdate' (policy refresh tool) or 'secpol.msc' (GUI snap-in).
'gpresult' is specifically built to output applied policy configuration reports.
3
Determine the correct command switches.
Use '/scope user' to filter output strictly to user policies and '/r' to format output as a summary report.
Omitting '/scope user' or using '/scope computer' would display irrelevant computer policies or obscure user-level GPO processing issues.
