Has anyone ever had problems with group policy not applying all the time? We have a new Dell Poweredge server that we setup as our Primary domain controller. All of our 150 clients are windows 2000. we set up a group policy that sets the users background to a company themed bitmap. For the first week, the policy worked perfectly. Now, the policy works about 95% of the time. Occasionally, a users pc will not apply the policy. I changed the group policy refresh interval to refresh every 45 minutes. This hasnt helped. Any ideas?

You can try running GPUPDATE from the client machines that are not applying the policy. This should reset refresh the policies on those machines.
Also, it may be that the policies are being overwritten by the users (possible), try setting the policies to DO NOT OVERRIDE. After this, force a refresh and see if the problem clears up.
