Re: Applying User GPO for Remote Users

You'll have to get them to log on to the domain - that is start up the VPN
prior to logging into their computer. In the logon screen there's a "dial
this connection" box and you can specify the VPN connection. Then your
connection should be established and your users should get logon scripts,
GPOs, etc.

I was hoping somebody could help me with a Group Policy problem I am
having. I want to publish an application in AD. For users on my LAN,
everything works fine. But the application does not show up for my
remote users.

I have created a GPO with a Software Installation Publication under
"User Configuration". I've linked the GPO to an OU with the users I
want to apply this to. When a user on my LAN logs in and goes to
Add/Remove Programs, the application (Office 2003) appears in the "Add
Programs From Your Network" list. But it does not appear for my remote
users.

Remote users log in using cached credentials, and then connect to the
network via VPN. I have had them run "gpupdate" to force a refresh of
Group Policy. I then run "gpresult" to confirm that they have been
refreshed. Under the results for "gpresult" I see the linked GPO under
"Applied Group Policy Objects" for User Settings. I have waited the 90
+ 30 minutes just to see if it would show up by itself under normal
refresh intervals with no luck.

The clients are both Windows 2000 and XP Professional. The domain is
Windows 2003 running in mixed mode.

Does anyone out there have any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? I
appreciate any assitance that can be provided. Thank you.
