Re: Group policy - Log on message not applying

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



Luca,

Is this the only GPO that is not working. Meaning, you have others that do
work and this one is the only PITA? Or, is this the only GPO that you have
in your environment and it is not working? Let's just assume for a second
that it is the only GPO that you have....

While Ace and Paul have given you the best answers, let's take a different
approach and look at DNS. Everything in Active Directory is somehow reliant
upon DNS to be working. How are the clients getting their IP Address lease?
Via DHCP? What additional information are they getting? Hopefully Default
Gateway, domain name and DNS Server info! So, Options 003, 006 and 015.
And, the DNS Server information is for your INTERNAL DNS Server(s), right?
There is no external DNS Server information (like for your ISP) anywhere but
in your Forwarders tab in the FLZ in the DNS MMC.

If you have not already done this you might want to install the Support
Tools from the Service Pack CD-Media (or download via the Microsoft web
site). There are a lot of tools that will help you, both with this specific
problem and most others...

BTW - what NOS are you running (Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003)
and what OS are your clients running (Windows 2000 Professional or Windows
XP Professional). If there are any Windows NT or Windows 98 clients in your
environment GPOs will not be available on them....

Just to rule any networking stuff out, have you run netdiag /v on some of
the affected clients?

This is a bit strange. I have a group policy that i want to use that
displays a logon message for all users. The GP is at the domain level so
it
is valid for every OU. The dam thing just wont apply. I have it disabled
for the Administrators group, and for our application server. I know that
GP's are being enforced because if i edit the same GP with some like
disable
the run command it works. It's just the logon message that is not being
applied.

Any one got any suggestions on this?
