Actually, if your replication is fixed, your Sysvol folders are replicating as
they should, which is where your policies are all stored (& thus your GPOs are
replicating, as well).

Thanks Shane.
I'm all about going back to basics, so please send me whatever you feel would
be helpful. I appreciate it.
Ok, i fixed the time bug i experienced. Actually, the service did unregister
when i ran a w32tm /unregister. I registered back and verified by manually
changing the time and running a w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update,
which corrected the time.
repadmin / showreps shows successful replication but the SYSVOL directories
don't seem to be in sync and i'm pretty sure the GPO policies are not in sync
either -- what can i do to troubleshoot the GPO replication issue i believe i'm
having ?

I think i found the problem. When i used GPMC and changed Domain controllers to
PHPRINT1 (DC WITH WRONG TIME) i noticed the homepage setting was still enabled!
I removed it. However, this shines a light on GPO replication not working
correctly, as demonstrated in the dcdiag.
i want to try and fix the time situtation, but when i run a w32tm /unregister
while logged into the PHPRINT1 ( Member DC) as a Domain Admin, i get a "access
denied" ?
how else could i troubleshoot ?

Thanks Shane, i just noticed the Time issue. And truthfully, that could very
well be the issue.
But, what's weird is when i execute the following command on PHPRINT1, the
server that has the wrong time, the time doesn't sync with the right DC. i have
the DC manually configured in the registry and when i do a net time /querysntp,
the right time server comes up -- but the time doesn't change to the correct
time ?
W32tm /config /synchfromflags:DOMHIER /update
net stop w32time && net start w32time
when i run on repadmin /showreps -- i get succesfull results as well.
any ideas?

Looks like you do have a replication issue on PHDC1. Sometimes a reboot will
fix that, or just restarting the replication service (if a reboot isn't
feasible at this point). If that doesn't work, go into your Event Logs -> File
Replication and begin troubleshooting error events there. You also seem to be
having an issue with your time server which will cause problems on your network.

My dcdiag looks very similar.
Also, can you not disable the item in question within the default domain
policy? You don't need to disable the whole policy, just the object inside the
policy. I haven't actually looked at this object but in most cases the state
of the object is either enabled, disabled or not configured.

Derek, the unfortunate consequence to that is i, rather ignorantly, put the
setting in place on the default domain policy..=\
here is my dcdiag /e -- see something maybe you guys have a quicker answer to
one of the errors shown. It's beena long time i've debugged dcdiag errors.

Harry,
I have seen this before where the the gpo gets enabled on the local pc and then
when you simply "uncheck" the gpo, the local pc keeps the setting. Try setting
the gpo to disabled and see if that doesn't fix the issue for you.

Hey Derek, Here goes a more detailed summary of steps i took:
1: management wanted me to set a default homepage
2: set it using IE Mainetnance\URLS\Default Home Page
3: MGNMT then said to remove that setting so people can configure and keep
what they please
4: i simply deleted that homepage entry and unchecked that option in the ie
maintenance.
5: users with IE keep having their default homepage changed even after they
manually set it. i.e. user opens IE with default of google.com. they manually
change page to msn.com and about 10 minutes later the default page is google.
com instead of msn.com. This is happening across the board sporadically.
i RSOP'd the machines that this is occurring on, including mine, and don't
see an entry for default homepage. none of the gpo's in my domain have the
default homepage option configured.
You can follow a post i started at thsi site, but the resolution corrected
didn't work or maybe i didn't apply it correctly.

This is driving me and everyone nuts!
I am running win2k3 standard at the highest functional level. I adjusted the
default domain policy ( User Conf\Windows Settings\Inet Exp Main\URLS) to set
the default home page. Management, then informed
me to get ride of this setting, so i removed/uncheckec the URL setting it but
now the default homepage
for most, if not all, clients keeps changing. If the client manually changes
the webpage to their personal preference, it changes back!!
I'll manually set the homepage, after 30 minutes or even less, it will change
back to the computers default.
any ideas ?
