Group Policy and IE Favorites

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,

I have a strange little problem and i wondered if anyone could help me.

I run a pretty large network and all runs well except sometimes,
favorites inserted by the group policies dont update on client
machines.

The policy is configured like this


Default Policy
|
|
----------------------
| | |
sales mgmt tech


Within the default policy, i've set it to include certain base
favorites in IE that everybody gets(e.g. our company websites, useful
tools ect)

And then within the inner policies (depending on which group you are a
member of) i've created custom favorites specific for those groups.

90% of my win 2000 workstation clients that connect get the favorites
they are supposed to, some however either get part of a favorites
folder (with some missing) or miss a favorite folder altogether.
Sometimes when they reboot they get them back, sometimes they don't.

Also if i update the url of a favourite (leaving the name intact) some
machines respond to the updated url right away, others (including my
own) keep the old url even though i know my policy has been refreshed.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I would appreciate any possible insight.

Thankyou

.
