Re: Group Policy Object Editor

Just in case anyone is having the same issue. It was a simple fix in
the end.

After making the alterations, I was running gpupdate upon the client
machines. By the looks of it the refresh on the server must be non
existent, so instead I went into dos on the server and entered:

secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy

then

secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy

but if these don't work use:

secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce

Then on the client use gpudate /force

The reason for secedit is due to the server being W2K so gpupdate
doesnt work. But obviously if you have a server more recent than w2k
gpudate should do the business.
