Group policy not applying correctly

Why might GPRESULT show that user registry settings have been applied from a
GPO that is definitely NOT linked to or inherited by the OU in which the
machine resides ?

Eg, the machine is in testou1.company.local

The GPO called TESTGPO is applied to testou2.company.local

TESTGPO is not linked to any other OU.

GPORESULT shows the user registry settings as having been applied from
TESTGPO. Also, examiniation of the user registry shows this to be the case
(ie, GPRESULT is telling the truth).

The only other thing I should state is that the machine was originially
placed in TESTOU2 but has now been moved.

We're getting quite despereate with this now. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
 
how many dc's do you have in your domain? i would check to make sure
replication between them is working properly just to be safe. maybe run
gpupdate from the cmd windows on this computer as well to make sure the
policy is getting applied. have you checked the computers application event
log to see if there are any group policy processing errors. you can also do
this by running a gp result wizard using GPMC to see any errors on the
computer.
