Also sometimes you are not sure what policy is being applied to the computer or user. These two commands will help you save a lot of time.

gpupdate – This will refresh the policy on the current computer. I usually use it with a /force /sync switch. It will require a reboot. Use /? to see other options

gpresult – This will show you what policies are being applied to the computer, and user that is logged in.
