The simple and easy way to check is do the following:

Start - Help and Support - select option "Use Tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems" - click option "advanced system information" - click option "view group policy settings applied."

There ya go. Quick and easy.

Another way is to launch a mmc , add the "resultant set of policies" snap-in
and check parameters sets (assuming XP or 2003)

Otherwise : If the GP is set to the computer which your users try to connect
to, you could enable "GP loopback processing"
(http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit
/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit/e
n-us/gp/34.asp)
        So you don't have to assign your drive policy to every possible
remote desktop user, you just have to assign the policy on machines they can
connect to and enable loopback processing.
        classic in terminal server environments.

NetIQ's Group Policy Administrator can also generate the resultant group
policies albeit in a more fancy GUI-driven manner. I think it's precursor is
FullArmor's FAZAM 2000.

The "GPRESULT" command gives detailed information regarding applied
group
policies on the host system along with helpful summary information.
Give it
a shot and see if that provides you with the information you require.
I'm
assuming XP clients.
