Also...... Obviously things like software installation and folder re-direction require a logoff/logon, but not a complete restart Steve....:)) -----Original Message----- From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 11:05 PM To: Isa List Subject: [isalist] RE: Policy takes so long to take effect http://www.ISAserver.org So , the following don't work then? secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce Steve -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff [mailto:isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 10:58 PM To: Isa List Subject: [isalist] RE: Policy takes so long to take effect http://www.ISAserver.org Yep. The issues is the way policies are applied. Default is asymmetric application during startup and log on. Computer policy is changed. The change is advertised by AD. (Computer policies are only updated at startup with asymmetric.) Computer starts and receives advertisement, but is set to asymmetric for startup speed. Next start computer downloads policy. 3rd restart policy is applied. Changing the policy application on the computer to symmetric solves this but the startup and log on sequence take a lot longer. (Depending on the policy change.) John Tolmachoff MCSE, CSSA IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.
