Explanation
gpresult is the correct tool because it displays the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) - a report of all Group Policy Objects applied to a user or computer, including their precedence and any that are being blocked or overridden. Running 'gpresult /R' or 'gpresult /H report.html' on an accounting machine would reveal which GPOs are active and which is taking priority. The other tools do not address GPO troubleshooting: nbtstat resolves NetBIOS names, nslookup queries DNS, gpupdate forces a GPO refresh but does not report policy results, and tasklist shows running processes.
