Thanks Darren, OK, that clears things up. Why would these be separate?? It would make sense to me if the security policies are shown here that the other policies would also show up. Where are they stored locally? What I was trying to do is this: I have a corrupt computer administration template on my default domain policy in GPMC. So I thought I would get a good registry.pol from one of the workstations and replace the corrupt one in the sysvol folder on the AD DC . But I gues that is not going to work. I am hoping this will solve the problem I am having with the default domain policy, that is I have always been able to edit it, now it says that I may not have the right privileges to edit it even though I have the right privileges and am able to edit every other policy. I have tried to run gpmc results wizard against a computer and user, but can only get results for users, at the computer level I get the message that the wmi service may not be running on the target computer, but when I check the computer, this service is running. Any ideas what I can do to get the GP results wizard to work for computers? Thanks, Piet ___________________________________________________________________________ Piet- If you are looking at the local GPO, you are not going to see any policy settings except security policy. That is because the Local GPO is its own GPO-it does not represent the resulting policy from domain GPOs. If you want to get a true picture of what domain GPOs are being received, run the GP Results Wizard from GPMC against that computer and user. Also, the fact that a deployed software package is only showing up in Add/Remove Programs sounds to me like you Published the package rather than assigning. By default, Published packages do not get installed automatically but instead appear in ARP and require the user to install them.

I am only seeing security settings being propagated to the local GPO on my machines. When I run mmc with the local computer policy object snap-in, I can see that the security settings are being propagated, but I cannot see anything in the software folders even though I am pushing out software at the user as well as the computer level. The software is showing up in the add/remove programs applet under "add new programs"?? Also I do not see any settings being propagated in the admin templates areas. Can anyone help with this? Piet
