Re: Last logon User [WILDPACKET]

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Steve:

I created on OU called Member Servers and within it I created 2 OUs called
2000 and 2003. I mvoed all the 2003 member servers to its OU and 2000
servers to its OU.

Applied the policy to the Member Servers OU and the policy seems only
affecting the Windows 2003 Servers. How come not applying to 2000 member
servers?

Advise please.

Thank you in adv.
