As far as I know, GPOs function as a high-level view of registry settings, i.e., setting a GPO directly corresponds to setting some registry keys and/or values.



I would like to know exactly what registry settings a certain GPO changes. Is there some tool that can tell me that, or would I need to look it up on MSDN (provided such documentation exist)?

            Modern GPO templates are stored in the system in the admx format - in fact, this is xml, which can be opened with any text editor.



            It's stored at c:windowspolicydefinitions.



            You can easily open template and peek at which registry branch the policy setting is saved.



            The only thing is: if you will search for setting by name, you first need to find string id in coresponding adml (stored near in locale specific folder), and look in admx for this string id instead of real setting name.
