Re: Update Group Policy

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

I imported .ADM to block USBs yesterday and enabled the policy. Today when i
checked my domain computers there were still able to use USBs. Then i update
two clients manually by running gpupdate /force and it disabled USBs. I
can't understand why it is not updating automatically?

Thanks!

Hello Create_Share,

Here are some more details:

Group Policy refresh refers to the retrieval of GPOs by a client. During
Group Policy refresh, the client contacts an available domain controller.
If any GPOs have changed, the domain controller provides a list of all the
appropriate GPOs, regardless of whether their version numbers have
actually changed.
Replication and Group Policy refresh are both instances of lag-time
issues: the system is working properly, but changes have not yet appeared
at the client.

By default, GPOs are processed by client side extensions (CSEs) at the
computer only if the version number of at least one GPO has changed on the
domain controller that the computer is accessing. You can use policy
settings to change this behavior.
Some CSEs process unchanged GPOs if the user's group membership has
changed. At startup, Group Policy is refreshed, and computer settings are
applied. Group Policy is refreshed and computer and user settings are
applied in the following instances:
When a user logs on

When gpupdate is run at the client computer

At the refresh interval, if one is configured at that computer (by
default, domain controllers are refreshed every five minutes, and all
other computers are refreshed every 90 minutes, with a random factor of up
plus or minus 30 minutes)
