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
website.
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.
