Group policies not applied to clients

[dietrich05]

I am having issues with my group policies not being applied to clients. I have a native Windows 2000 domain. I am recieving event 1000, error code 59 stating that the client is unable to locate a domain controller for the listed domain.

I have read some traffic on the blocking of ICMP traffic being the culprit. This is the case in our domain, but I am looking for specific documentation on this matter.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is the primary dns for your clients set to the internal DNS server(usually the first domain controller)?

Yep-
ICMP is used for Slow Link Detection.

Your machines think they are connecting to their DC's via a dialup (or something very slow) so only portions of the policy will be applied.

Disabling ICMP is not a supported configuration, so get rid of your viruses

Search the KB for 'Slow Link Detection' and 'ICMP'

Thanks, I found the information I needed under the slow link detection. Just needed documentation to fight for the ICMP traffic. Thanks for the info!!!!
