Hi,

I have a W2K environment. My problem is that when I apply a GPO to an OU it
does not take effect. But when I apply a GPO to the domain it is working. I
have checked permissions and the following:

I have run GPRESULT /v on the client - the Group Policy is NOT received by
the user.

I have run netdiag and dcdiag - the show no problems.
I have checked security policy on the OU - its the same as in the domain.
I have run repadmin /showreps - no replication issues.
I have run GPOTOOL to veriry policies synchronization - no problems

I don't know what to do next - can anyone help me??

Regards

Hi Brian,

I have the same problem on my network and so far no one
has been able to solve it. If you find out how please let
me know. Thanks in anticipation.
 
I have solved the problem now. It was because of a loopback policy applied
to the computers. When I disabled this all the GPOs applied to the users
started to work again. I thought that I already tjecked this, but this
policy must have slipped my sight :-(

But now it is working.

So tjek if you have loopback policies apply anywhere and then try disable
them just to see what happens.

Regards

Brian
 
Hello,

1) Make sure No Override is set at any Domain Level Policy.

2) Make sure DNS is correct setup, this means you should be available to
ping the domain name by FQDN like ping company.com from the clients.

3) If you know that you have changed the ACL for the particular GPO, Make
sure the particular user as well as the computer have at least read and
apply Policy rights.
