Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP)

Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP): A feature that simplifies Group Policy implementation and troubleshooting. RSoP uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to determine how policy settings are applied to users and computers. RSoP has two modes: logging mode and planning mode. Logging mode determines the resultant effect of policy settings that have been applied to an existing user and computer based on a site, domain, and organizational unit. Planning mode simulates the resultant effect of policy settings that are applied to a user and computer.
