Hi,

Could anyone help me out in this.
I have a W2k Domain with W2k Clients and w2k server
I have created an OU in that I have created a group and
added users to that group.
I have made the policy at OU level.but when i login as a
user ( member of a group in OU ) the policy didnt seem to
apply.Is there anything that I am missing .

any help on this would really be appreciated.
Thanks

The user needs to reside within the OU, not just the group.
 
Is the policy a computer configuration policy? If so, the computer account
needs to reside in the OU, not the user account.
 
It is for the User policy

Other typical GPO issues include:

DNS config problems
block policy inheritance on OU
no override on GPO
filtering on GPO ACL
User is not in OU, but group is
GPO is not linked properly

professional Clients.
--I have joined all the clients to the DC
--In domain I created an OU (xyz).In that OU (xyz)i
created a user ( abc )as well as a group ( security -
global )
--Now I created group policy at the OU level . eg ..I
made changes in the User configuration -->desktop-->hide
all icons on desktop.
--Now when i login from the client machine as a user (
abc ) the policy doest seem to apply.
-- I even created computer account in that OU (xyz).

Active directory user n groups and created in OU.
But it didnt work.. can u guide me in that..

Zuber,

I think there might be a couple of issues:

1) make sure DNS is correct. Run ipconfig /all from the client computer to
make sure it lists the correct DNS IP address.
2) Make sure the GPO is applying to the client computer. Run gpresult from
the client computer to make sure your GPO is showing up.

Let me know where you are after this.

Sure you can email me on my email account, no problem.
