Ok..i had wriiten an earlier post,no one had answered it
so here is something that might help, about gpo not fully
applying only somethings were applied,now i look in
documentsanssettings for profile folder,the users folder
just have there username instead of like user.domain
folder,is there something not configured right,now i had
this working the other day,but i setup dns wrong and had
to redo AD and DNS,now i might add my admin account
works,i look on the pc where i logged in with it and i got
the admin.domain folder ,can anyone tell me what is most
likely wrong here.

thx

When there is already a username folder present in Document And Settings
(example from a local account), and you logon using the domain account with
the same name, then windows will create a folder username.domain . Otherwise
it will create just username folder (even for domain logons).
You can use gpresult function to see what policies are applying and from
where.
You can also enable GPO logging. To do that create:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version , create a key Diagnostics
and inside create a DWORD value RunDiagnosticLoggingGlobal and set it to 1.
You will se GPO application events in Application Log

Another way to generate the log (verbose logging) is to do following:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WinLogon and create DWORD
value UserEnvDebugLevel and set it to 30002 . You will get detailed GPO
application log in %systemroot%\Debug\UserMode in UserEnv.log file.
