Hi GT,
We have seen where some clients on the same switch will get policy applied
successfully while others do not. This can be occur if the Portfast option
on Cisco switches are enabled. Solution: Disable Portfast on the switch.
Other things to check if you do not have Cisco switches using Portfast:
1. Disable Spanning Tree Algorithm on switches.

2. Disable Media Sense on the client machines:

3. Update NIC Drivers on clients:
We have seen outdated NIC drivers cause this.
4. DNS misconfiguration:
Make sure the DHCP assigned DNS servers list only your internal DNS servers
and that no ISP DNS servers are passed from the scope option. You can place
the ISP DNS server in the Forwarders tab of all your DNS servers instead.
5. If the DCs have more than one NIC (not teamed) make sure any unused NICs
are Disabled, not just a red x over it with no media connected. If you have
any disabled NICs on the DCs verify the binding order has the primary
adapter at the top of the order. To do this right-click My Network Places >
Properties > Click Advanced in the menu bar and select Advanced Settings.
In the Connections window make sure the primary NIC is at the top of the
order.
Other things worth checking:
Verify the users failing to get logon scripts are on the LAN and not VPN.
Are you getting any errors on the DCs?
Are there any Netlogon or W32time errors or warnings in the System event log
of the workstations?
