Group policy replication problem

[De8o]

I have a fairly simple setup. 2 Domain Controllers DC1 and DC2. Any changes to groups and users are replicated fairly quickly. However changes to Group Policies are not replicated at all. Running DCDIAG and REPADMIN show no errors. Any pointers?

What OS are the clients running?

To have an immediate update for XP, type the following command and reboot your machine:

gpupdate /force

(Incidentally, have you run RSOP.msc to see if the updates are applying?)

To have an immediate update for w2k, type the following commands and reboot your machine:

secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce
secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce

To force your GPO's to update on a more regular basis, go to your Group Policy editor, and the following location and check out some additional settings you can deploy:

Computer configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Group Policy. There is an option to control when and how often the policy is applied....

It isn't a problem on the clients, but on the Domain Controllers. If I edit the Group Policies on DC1 they are different than on DC2 for the same OU policy.

Are there any errors in the event log? How much time between replication of domain objects?
