I am having some problems with our IE preference policy appliying to Windows
2000 Professional workstations. This is a user based policy. The policy is
at the same level as the Default Domain Policy and is applied to all
authenticated users and domain computers. In most circumstances it applies
correctly, but in some it does not. A work around to this that I have found
is that I create 2 identical policies. Actually one and then I copy it and
call it a different name. If I switch the policy and then have the use
login, then the policy will apply. Since we have users that go from machine
to machine, having inconsistant application of this IE preference policy is
not good. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rob,

I assume you are talking about the IE maintenance. As you said, it is a user
based policy. So it is not needed to apply it to your domain computers. It
is at the same level as the DDP, so it is applied to your domain. You need
to have your auth users be able to read your policy, which is the default
with a new policy. I do not understand the rest from you. So what I suggest
is you start it all over again. Create a new policy and set only what is
needed. Try again. If things still go wrong, try to use gpresult to check
how the policy applies.

br,
Denis
