Hi

If this is a WinXP or Win2k3 Server:

In a command prompt, try this for more info:

GPRESULT /SCOPE COMPUTER

Add this to the command line as well:

/V verbose
/Z super-verbose

For help, run GPRESULT /?


You could also try this to see if it helps:

gpupdate.exe /force


Also check your event logs:

Start/Run --> eventvwr.msc

The policies for the computer were applied after 5 days. It's that normal ?
I changed some policies, but i can't see the changes on desktop.

Thanks

Hi

No, that is not normal. Do you see anything in the event logs of the
local computer that can indicate that it have a problem communicating
properly with the domain controller?

Hi

I'm getting the same error, and the desktop computer, aren't unable to apply
the policies.
For users, the GPO works very WELL....
