Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to determine when the last automatic refresh of GPO occurred on a computer? Or when the next one will occur?
Thanks |

I suspected as much. This was a pretty trivial question for your standards  |

If you would like to modify the refresh interval and the offset interval for users, please modify and apply the group policy: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy."

Check the eventlog (Group Policy) if you are on Windows 2008 or higher. It's all there, including the _next_ refresh. |

gpresult /z gives an output with the refresh time as well as the GPO's that are applied
Lot of other options on it as well. |
