Hi,

Usually when Group Policy is not working it is a DNS issue. Look at my
website and make sure you have DNS up and running correctly
http://www.sd61.bc.ca/windows2000/dns

Then go to the machines that have the problem. Type ipconfig /flushdns
and then ipconfig /registerdns at the command line. Check the event
log for any errors. If it isnâ??t registering it will tell you in the
event log. Also if there is a reason My Documents isnâ??t redirecting
then it will also tell you in the event log.

Cheers,

Lara
