Re: Group Policy not applied after reboot (intermittent)

Yep, that's the issue. It shows the Standard Profile for the firewall is
applied instead of the Domain Profile, even though the GPO was successfully
applied.

No idea what causes it. Anyone else have any suggestions? I'm tempted to
put a "gpupdate /force" in my logon batch file. =(
