This article explains how to check which RSA MFA Agent GPO policies have been applied to a Microsoft WIndows computer.

Tasks

From Windows PowerShell (run as Admin) on the machine with the RSA MFA Agent that you want to check:

  1. If it is a domain-attached computer, fetch the most recent GPO settings from the domain controller, and apply them to the local computer.

gpupdate /force

  1. Generate an HTML report file, showing the current GPO settings applied to the computer.

gpresult /scope computer /h folder\gpresult.html

where folder should be the name of any folder on the machine where the gpresult.html file should be saved, e.g. c:\temp.  If folder has spaces in it, use double-quotes, e.g.

gpresult /scope computer /h "c:\Users\My Name\Downloads\gpresult.html"

  1. In Windows File Explorer, navigate to folder, then double-click the gpresult.html file.  The file will open in the default web browser.
  2. When viewing the gpresult.html file in a web browser, use the Show and Hide links on the right to expand and close sections in the file.   RSA MFA Agent GPO settings should be under Computer Details > Settings > Policies > Administrative Templates > RSA Desktop.  The Winning GPO column on the right of each setting will show where the machine got that GPO setting from (local or a domain policy) .

  1. Click any RSA policy name to see a pop-up help window for the policy

  1. To find where the machine is getting all applied GPO settings from, look under Computer Details > Group Policy Objects > Applied GPOs

Applied GPOs
