Additional considerations
To create a Group Policy Modeling query, you must have the Perform Group Policy Modeling Analyses permission on the domain or organizational unit that contains the objects on which you want to run the query.
Group Policy Modeling is only available if at least one domain controller in the forest is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
To customize the information displayed in a report, click Show or Hide to display only the data you want to view or print.
From within GPMC, it is not possible to use the keyboard to navigate inside an HTML report. To navigate inside the HTML report, save the report to a file and then use a Web browser to view the report.
If you open a previously saved console and want to save a Group Policy Modeling or Group Policy Results report in XML, rerun the report using the Rerun Query option.
To view a saved report in a Web browser, you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later version.
