Group Policy logging

Locked

I have a 300 client windows server 2003 setup.
I create a new group policy using GPMC and deploy it for users/computers.
I use RSOP for checking the Group policies deployed for a particular client/user.
Now I have a problem.
How do I check which are the computers/users who got a group policy applied when I deploy one and which are the user/computer accounts that the group policy failed to apply?
Is there any logging method for logging all the user/computer accounts when a particular group policy is deployed and successfully applied on these accounts.

Create an OU (organisational unit) for your computers A,K,J,Z etc.. then apply the policy to that OU. Create another OU for the other computers, that don’t get the policy, see the link for some ideas.

Dear Justice,
This extended logging is quite helpful.
Thank you for the information but this doest solve my actual issue. What excatly I am looking for is a method or tool which can work for a senario like the one below :
Say if I have pc’s A through Z. What I want is a method which can say that pc’s A,B,C,F,G….R,S,Y,Z got the GP while pc’s D,E,T,U,V,W,X did not get the policy.

Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks in advance.
