We have somewhat a similar situation here--the policy
applies, and then sometimes it'll revert back to the
initial IE homepage (the one where it forwards you to
MSN) or it'll just forward to MSN. Gets annoying not
knowing what I should expect to happen at a user's
workstation. I don't want to have to run around to
everyone's computer and type "secedit /refreshpolicy" and
gpupdate.... that's what we have GPO's for, no?
