The most common reason I've found for a GPO not applying (by far) is DNS misconfiguration. In general, point the client machine (or server) to your Win2K DNS server for all DNS requests (don't event point the secondary DNS server to an 'outside' DNS server). Set the Win2K DNS server to forward requests for external hosts or use root hints. The correct DNS entries need to be present in your Win2K DNS as well - they're the ones that start with the underscore character. You can troubleshoot this by using NETDIAG and it will correct it if you use /FIX on the command line.=20 Another helpful tool for troubleshooting is User Environment Debug Logging. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\UserEnvDebugLevel. Set it to a value of 2 to enable verbose logging. The log file is stored at %SystemRoot%\Debug\UserMode. This will log policy application, profile copying, etc.=20 Good Luck, Jeff Durbin A+,N+,CCA,MCSE -----Original Message----- From: bbeckett2000@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:bbeckett2000@xxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 1:41 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] GPO What would be the possible reasons a GPO would not apply?
