Hello All,

Server: Windows 2003
Clients: Windows XP Professional

I have a GPO that will not update even after preforming the commands "gpupdate /force" and "gpresult"

Whenever i do a "gpupdate /force" it always prompts me to restart the computer.

Please help!; what can I do?

Thanks.

If the GPO will not update even after a reboot, chances are it's either being overruled by a different GPO or if it deals with Account policies it needs to be applied at the Domain and not the OU level.

Any more details?

Ok, update on situation:

Objective: To add a printer on startup using startup scripts and the GPO.

I can log into the computer(s) and perform a "gpresult", and it will show the new GPO that I created(1-3 days later after changes). But now it is not adding the printer at startup under "Control panel>Printers and Faxes".

However, I've copied the script to my desktop and double clicked the script and it adds the printer without error.

Help. -_-

Thank you

add in the startup script and shutdown script or just run it.

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

or replace secsetup with for vista defltbase
