anyone know how to solve the policy version mismatch when
there are a difference in the policy version between the
directory service and the sysvol?

note: force refreshing the policy is not working

Regards,
 
Hi Bassem-

If there is a mismatch, you can edit the version in one of two places to
match it to the other:

In the GPT.INI for that GPO. An example is the GPT.INI for the Default
Domain Controllers policy, located at

C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain.net\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB9
84F9}\GPT.INI

The format to be edited is simply:
[General]
Version=65554

The alternative is to edit the versionnumber attribute of the policy using
ADSIEDIT.MSC:

CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=domain,DC
=net

The bottom line is that the two should match.
