Re: Group Policy problems

Thanks for your help thus far.
A bit more infomation on the way things are setup:
We've got 2000 Advanced Server and 2003 Enterprise Server for the active directory with XP SP2, 2000, and Vista clients.
I've double checked that the OU is linked to the policy that has the missing settings.
Today, one of the systems that was not setting some things from the policy yesterday, works fine now. And another that was working correctly not long ago has returned back to having some of the policy come into effect.

I've run the Group Policy results from the GPMC on the 2003 server and they are exactly how they should be. GPOtool gives no errors either. Error log on both the server and workstations are empty in terms of policy errors.

Raptor,

You might want to provide a little bit more information. We assume that you are running Windows Server 2003 SP1 (at least) Domain Controllers and Windows XP Pro SP2 clients. However, I manage several environments that are still Windows 2000 Domain Controllers with Windows 2000 clients....

If you are running Windows Server 2003 SP1 Domain Controllers with GPMC SP1 have you tried running "Group Policy Results" or have you - again, assuming that you have GPMC SP1 installed - looked at all of the Group Policy Objects that exist? at the OU(s) where the computer account objects reside to see which GPOs are linked to that OU (er, the GPO does not have to be linked to the OU in which the computer account objects reside...it could be higher....)?

HTH,

Cary

I am having problems on our network with the group policy being applied correctly on all systems.
For instance, the domain secutiry policy seems to apply for some in terms of password requirements and not to others. The GPO is set also to disable the windows firewall, but some systems have the firewall turned on and cannot be shutdown listing the reason being that the group policy has enabled the firewall. And other systems the firewall is off as normal.
On a system that has incorrect policy settings, if I update the policy it succedes in updating, but nothing changes in terms of what should and shouldn't be set.
I've attempted at removing and recreating the GPOs but the same problems are still occuring.

This makes me wonder if it is something that I have set in terms of how the systems run the group policies.
