Really weird scenario here...we have two Win2k SP4 + Hotfixes servers running MF XP FR2. GPOs are being applied from the domain OU in a loopback replace mode. According to GPResult, the GPOs are applied successfully. And, they seem to be. For example, cmd.exe is indeed restricted as it should be via policy. However, there is no indication visually that the GPOs have been applied. ie, I have it set to remove the shut down start menu option. Unfortunately, the shut down menu entry is still visible. I restrict Control Panel applets via policy, but all control panel applets are visible to the users... Nothing on the machines is set to overwrite these policies, so I'm confused as to what is going on here... Any suggestions?
