SBS 2K3 domain GPO's are not applied

Hello,
After setting up a new client with a fresh install of Vista Beta2 and
joining this client to a SBS 2K3 SBS domain, I can't get the client to use
the domain settings or GPO's.

The client logs in fine but GPO's are not applied.

I can do an upgrade install and then the GPO's seem to be applied.

So now my question is, how can I make my SBS box apply the GPO's?

Or actually, how can I make my newly installed Vista client use the domain
GPO's ??
This client logs in fine with the domain but no policies are loaded.

Any Ideas?

Thanks All!
 
How did you create the computer account? Did you use the SBS wizard or did
you create it manually?
 
I finally got a chance to try this. Run a cmd prompt as administrator and
look at the results from "gpresult". I wasn't sure if it'd work in Vista.
 
Kerry,

Sorry for the slow reply!
Here is what I get from the gpresult on a Vista machine that has been joined
to my SBS 2K3 domain:

You'd have to run it on a Vista computer where the group policies work and
compare the results.
