You can determine whether the current computer supports Group Policy by checking for the presence of the "gpupdate" command, which is a built-in Windows command used to update Group Policy settings. Here's how you can do it using a batch script:

batch
@echo off

REM Check if "gpupdate" command is available
where gpupdate > nul 2>&1
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
echo Group Policy is supported on this computer.
) else (
echo Group Policy is not supported on this computer.
)

Save the script with a .bat extension and run it. The script will check if the "gpupdate" command can be found in the system's PATH. If the command is found, it indicates that Group Policy is supported on the computer.

Keep in mind that the presence of the "gpupdate" command doesn't necessarily mean that Group Policy is actively applied or configured on the computer. It simply indicates that the command exists, which is typically the case for Windows operating systems.
