Hello,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
From your post, first, you may run "gpresult /z >c:\gpresult.txt" to checkif the policy has been applied. Or you may use rsop.msc to check the
current policies applied on the user profile.
Meanwhile, you may check the following registry key to see if it has been
set to your homepage:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
Thanks & Regards,
Ken Zhao

| Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, all the computers are located under the
same
| "workstation" OU. When I apply "Process even if the GPOs have not
changed",

this
