Can the Compliance column for Noncompliant GPOs show Settings or Security to indicate what is noncompliant?
Description

When a GPO is changed outside of GPOAdmin, and the Watcher service is installed and running, GPOAdmin will flag the GPO as Noncompliant and change the Compliance column from Compliant to Noncompliant. Is it possible for the Compliance column to also show either Setting or Security, to indicate which section is Noncompliant?
Resolution
WORKAROUND:

The Compliance column cannot show information other that Compliant or Noncompliant. To see if the Settings or Security section of a GPO was changed making it Noncompliant:
1. Right click the Noncompliant GPO
2. Select Check Compliance
3. Click Next
4. If you expand the GPO it will show either Settings or Security indicating which section of the GPO was changed
5. If you double click the GPO it will show either Settings or Security indicating which section of the GPO was changed, but a difference report will also be created showing exactly what was changed
6. You are also provided options for remediation, No Action, Rollback, Rollback with Links, Incorporate Live, or Unregister
