Hi

My network here consists of ~40 workstations. We then have one file server
and one Exchange server, which runs AD. All are Win2k/Win2k Server.

I have added a Group Policy for all computers to allow me to deploy software
(mainly service packs) to all machines automatically. Whilst this has worked
for the majority of workstations, there are 5 or 6 that are not picking up
this update. As far as I know, there are no differences in the setups of
these machines.

Any hints as to where I should be looking to resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Neil
