=== SECURITY Q&A ===============================================
by Randy Franklin Smith, rsmith@ultimatewindowssecurity.com
Q: What's the difference between the Generate Resultant Set of Policy
(Logging) and Generate Resultant Set of Policy (Planning) permissions
on organizational units (OUs)?
A: Both permissions control the authority to generate reports in the
Group Policy Management Console. GPMC provides two types of reports to
help you predict and track how Group Policy Objects (GPOs) will affect
computers on which the GPOs are applied. The Generate Resultant Set of
Policy (Planning) permission lets you run the Group Policy Modeling
wizard, which allows you to select an OU and a few other options to
define a scenario in which Group Policy could be applied. Then GPMC
simulates application of all the relevant GPOs for the scenario and
produces a report that shows you the Group Policy settings (i.e., the
Resultant Set of Policies?RSoP) for users and computers in that
scenario.
The Generate Resultant Set of Policy (Logging) permission lets you run
the Group Policy Results wizard to select a specific user or computer
and get a report of the actual RSoP based on logs generated from the
last application of Group Policy for that user or computer.
Use the modeling report when you're testing what-if scenarios and the
results report when you need to know the actual status of a computer or
user.
