Jan,
Thanks for your post - I tried all of those and to no avail.
However, after lots of dead ends I think I've fixed it, the problem seems to
be the Group Policy settings for this group. Heres what I did:
- Created a whole new policy and set it up the same as the 'failing' one.
This didn't work either so I:
- Created a copy of a known working policy, and then reconfigured that to
match the above, this appears to now be working.
I don't really understand why this works, I'm just happy it does!
