Appart from compiling the GPO, is there anything else I need to do. I have an OU, and when I right click on it, I go to properties, and I go to group policy tab, I then click on Edit, I get into the details of User Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Internet User Interface >> URLs >> Important URLS and then I enter the appropriate information.

If you really have user accounts in the OU you just applied the GP to (no groups etc.) then the policy should apply. Anyway, as it seems not to work, I have a few things for you to check:

I assume that the computers are correctly joined to the domain and DNS is working well (the clients have configured your DC as the first DNS server and can query it...).

- Log on as a user that should get the policy applied and see, if your policy shows up on "gpresult" (Start->Run).
You can also access these information by clicking Start->"Help and Support" -> Click "System Information" at "Tools - Locate tools like System Information..." -> Click "Advanced
System Information" at the left panel under "Tools - Help and Support
Center Tools" -> "View Group Policy Settings applied".

- Are there any errors shown in the event log?

- Do other policies work with that OU and these users? If so, try to assign the following GP as well (notice, that this is a computer configuration - you will need to apply this to a OU containing computers..)
CompConf\AdmTemp\System\Group Policy\ - "Internet Explorer Maintenance
policy processing" and there: "Process even if the Group Policy objects
have not changed".

cheers,

Florian
