Hi all
I applied a group policy to some of my employees in my company. But after a while i found that some PC's after restarting or Logging off the user the policy is not applied at all as if i did nothing.
after another restart for the computer i get the group policy again applied!!!!!!!
I donno what is wrong sometimes it is ok and otehrtims without change anything it doesn't work!!!!
Can anyone help?
N.B. the same user like (John) is used in more than one PC at the same time does that affect?
I hope someone have any idea about my problem?

Thank you
 
Policies are refreshed on the computers joined to your domain on a regular basis. The setting for the refresh interval is located in machine policy. A random time is added or subtracted so all the machines aren't refreshing at the same time. The longest period you can set for the refresh is 90 min. Also policies can be applied synchronously or asynchronously. This can make a difference depending on what the policies are. If you wish to test how refreshing the policy is affecting the clients, you can manually refresh the policy on the client through a dos prompt:

secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy

type secedit /? for details on this command


 
Dear Seaspray0,

I have tried that but i still got the problem!!!!!
i have tried to add another users inside the same OU which has this group policy and when i try to to let them log in it is the same the GP not applied.
but what drive me crazy that in same network other pcs with same users work so fine!!!
I have tried to disjoin then rejoin those pcs to the domain but it is the same!!!!!
can anyone help?
Thank you
 
I am having the same problem. And have also followed the same steps Cisco79 did. For what ever reason some pcs will pick up the policies others don't with the same user??
