Hi Bill Sorry, I meant the group policy management console. You might find this better (I certainly find it easier to manage and design GPOs with) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/gpmc/default.mspx It's a lot clearer than just the U&C console and has a lot of good features. Are there any events logged on the machine when you run a gpupdate or secedit refresh? You should get something back detailing whether there are any errors.

Yes using ADUC, right click on the OU, properties, GPO tab, new (or add) GPO, security is read and apply to the specified group and I'm at a loss. ________________________________ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Daniel Ensor Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 11:36 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: GPO not applied Sorry might be being obvious but you have linked the GP to the OU? The GPResult is normal as it refers to the local machine policy which obviously from the result has not been configured. Are you using the Management console?

The scenario is a user who is a member of a group call TS_TEST and that group is in a test OU. A GPO has been created for the test OU and applied only to the TS_TEST group. When the user logs in, the domain policy is applied but the TS_TEST GPO is not. What are the possible reasons? DNS checks out ok. Membership has been double checked. ________________________________ How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
