RE: Applying a GPO to all computers in the domain?

Thanks, I tried the gpresult command and got the following information:

On one PC it says The user "DOMAIN\USER" does not have RSOP data.
On another it gives lots of information saying the policy has just been
applied
It does say Group Policy was applied from: N/A though??
Also in one part it lists the domain correctly but further down it lists the
computer name (the name of the client PC where I was running the command
from) as being the domain name??

None of my changes have been made though on either machine
I have tried applying them to the computer and also to the users

I tried the GPO Management Console too. I set them all to forced but they
are still not being applied even though it tells me they are linked to the
GPO and it is the first one in the list

Thanks anyway
