To view GPO revision information associated with an RSoP query, complete the following steps:
1. In the desired RSoP query console, expand the user account-RSoP or the computer
account— RSoP node. Right-click User Configuration or Computer Configuration, and
then click Properties.
2. In the User Configuration Properties or the Computer Configuration Properties
dialog box, in the General tab, shown in Figure 11-13, select the Display Revision
Information check box. The location of the revision information for the GPOs
appears in the Revision column.
Computer Configuration Properties dialog box, displaying revision information Reusing RSoP Queries Generated with the Resultant Set Of Policy Wizard
As discussed earlier in this lesson, you can reuse saved RSoP queries. To reuse an RSoP query, simply open the appropriate RSoP query console from the Administrative Tools menu. The query regenerates and displays the new query results on the console. If you open an RSoP console that contains archived data, you receive a message identifying the console as containing archived data.
Note If the query is generated in Logging mode, and you change the settings in a GPO and then rerun the RSoP query, you do not see the new GPO settings reflected for a user unless the user logs on after the new GPO settings are implemented.

There are several RSoP Planning mode options. Each option can be run separately or in conjunction with the other options, allowing for a wide range of simulation results. As you progress through the Resultant Set Of Policy Wizard, the Planning mode options are presented to you in the following order:
1. Slow-network connection. This option simulates a slow connection. A con-
nection is slow if the rate at which data is transferred (from the domain controller
that provides a policy update to the computers in this group) is slower than the
rate that is specified by this GPO. The system's response to a slow policy connection varies among policies.
2. Loopback processing. This option simulates enabling of the GPO setting User
Group Policy Loopback Processing Mode, located in Computer Configuration,
Administrative Templates, System, Group Policy. The simulation can be set to
Merge or Replace. Select Merge to simulate the appending of the GPO list
obtained for the computer at computer startup to the GPO list obtained for the
user. Select Replace to simulate replacement of the GPO list for the user -with the
GPO list already obtained for the computer at computer startup.
3- Site name. This option simulates the application of alternate subnets for startup or logging on, enabling you to predict the RSoP if the subnet is changed.
4. Alternate user and computer locations. This option simulates the application
of alternate locations for both users and computers, enabling you to predict the
RSoP if the user and/or computer is moved.
5. Alternate user and computer security groups. This option simulates the
application of alternate security groups to both computer and user configurations,
enabling you to predict the RSoP using security groups to filter GPO scope.
6. WMI filters for users and computers. This option simulates the use of WMI
filters to help define the policy settings that are applied, enabling you to predict the RSoP using WMI queries to filter GPO scope.
Exam Tip Make sure you understand the differences between using RSoP in Logging mode and in Planning mode.
