John- Sounds like two different issues. You will get the "Ok to reboot" message any time that certain client side extensions (e.g. Software Installation or Folder Redirection) need to run a foreground processing mode in order to apply. On the 2nd issue, I'm not familiar with fport, so not sure I can answer that but I it is very possible that if your server was getting security policy from a different OU, that moving it to the new OU would not automatically undo that policy. Normally, security policy "tattoos" a machine unless you explicitly countermand it with a new policy.

I have a memberserver Win2k3 SP1, that was placed in the wrong OU and got my Windows XP Group Policy. Then it was moved to the correct OU, and recieves the member server policy. Every time I run "gpupdate /force" I get the following. Certain Computer policies are enabled that can only run during startup. ok to Reboot? (Y/N) Every time that I refresh group policy it wants to reboot, I see 1704 events that security policy in the group policy object has been applied successfully. I've ran gpupdate as the local admin and as a domain admin. If I try to run fport on the server as either a local admin or a domain admin I get the following error "You must have administrator privileges to run fport - exiting...... The local admin account is in the administrators group, and the domain admin group is in the administrators group. Could this be a registry tattoo from the xp policy that got applied? any thoughts? Thanks Everyone, take care and have fun --John *********************** You can unsubscribe from gptalk by sending email to gptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the freelists.org Web interface.
