Verification and troubleshooting
Use this section to verify that the users are obtaining the HP UPD policies correctly; also, use this section as a
guide to see where to apply settings.
Functional test
1. Use the group Policy Modeling tool to run simulations on specific users or groups and specific machines.
NOTE: The GPMC is a Microsoft supplied tool (not available on Windows Server 2000) and is an
optional component on later server versions that can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.
2. Run the modeling wizard to verify your settings.
3. Right-click Group Policy Modeling.
4. Click Group Policy Modeling Wizard.
5. Enter the user that you want to model.
6. Select the Skip to the final page check box.
Registry population
Use this test to verify that the settings in the group policy object populate in the registry of the client
computer.
1. Verify that the current user is logged into the domain.
2. Run regedit.exe and verify that the registry populates correctly. The registry path is HKCU/Software/
Policies/Hewlett-Packard/HP Print Settings/ADSPrintPolicy. Also verify the Binary Registry key
"UPDADS" exists at registry path HKCU/Software/Hewlett-Packard/HP Print Settings.
NOTE: Active Directory does not refresh settings immediately after you make a change to the Group
Policy object. To refresh the settings on the client, you must log out and then log back in, or you can use
the gpupdate utility with the /Force option run from a command window to force Active Directory to
update the settings.
Example: c:/> gpupdate /Force
