ROSP and FGPP

Fine-Grained Password Policies (FGPP) were introduced in Windows Server 2008 as a a way to define different password and account lockout policies for different sets of users in a domain.  But FGPP isn’t defined in a Group Policy Object (GPO) so if you have FGPP implemented in your environment then you can’t view it’s effect by calculating the Resultant Set Of Policy (RSOP) for a user account.

However, you can try using one of the following methods to view the effect of FGPP on a user account:

By using the LDIFDE command-line utility as follows:

Ldifde /d/l msds-resultantPSO /f con /p base /s

By using the Dsget command-line utility as follows:

dsget user-effectivepso
