What happens to Group Policy when DC is not available. 1

[GOSCO]

When you log onto a domain that is not available the workstation uses a cached profile. What happens to the Domain group policy?

Group policy seems to be applied in this scenario but I just wanted more information. i.e is the GP cached etc.

Thanks in advance

The client machine just uses whatever settings it last got from the GPO.

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Nothing different should happen, because you've got multiple DCs, right?

I like the train of thought

Thanks Pagy I thought that was the case and TBH is the way it should be I suppose.
