I have a group policy enabled on my domain and am trying to send out some IE settings via GPO. Our major software just went to a web interface and we have to add some IP addresses to the pop up blocker setting in IE. I found that you can do this via group policy and did so. The weird thing is that some are taking the settings while others aren't. The thing that's even weirder is the fact that those that aren't getting the pop allow IP's are getting other IE setting I've set in the group policy. So why would a system get some but not all settings. I hope you guys can help as I'll have to go around an manually enter them if not:(

So you are saying machines are getting some setting but not others. Are all of those settings set in the same group policy? If you run gpresult at a machine that is getting the settings correctly, does it show that it is applying the gpo's?

are the users/computers all in the same OU, getting the same policy?

Yes they are XP with latest updates. They all get some of them too which is weird since I have their homepage autoset via GPO and it works great on all systems.

There are two diffrent GPO sets, one for Windows 2000 and one for Windows XP. We use to have issues in our enviroment since it is mixed between Windows 2000 and XP with all our servers running W2K Server until we moved to the XP GPO set.

It fixes a lot of issues.
