Issue: Only the Registry Based settings display on the GPA console’s Merge GPO window in a distributed environment; however, all of the settings display in the Merge GPO window in a consolidated environment.
Workaround:
Start the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on the GPA server using the GPA security account.
Browse to each source GPO and generate a settings report.
HINT:If a source GPO is not present in AD—such as a newly created GPO, for instance—then export the GPO to AD and then generate a settings report using GPMC.
Log in to the console machine and re-index the repository.
