Hi Russ
Probably. You might be better off getting a Windows XP client with GPMC
involved. This way you can drill down to the GPO's that the AD thinks it
knows about, find the offending policy and delete all the links that it has.
Is it possible you're looking at a replication problem as well? Do the DC's
have a consistent view of policies? You can check this with
gpotool /verbose
best piped to a text file for review later.
Kind regards
