I'm running w2k Advanced Server as a domain controller w/ three w2k Pro workstations . I want to apply Group Policies to users on the workstations. I do no want to set these policies locally on each workstation. I want it to be pushed from the Domain Controller. How do I do this?

So far I've tried editing the Default Domain Policy. This had no effect.

I also tried creating a new group with all users in it. Then I created a Group Policy Link with the same name as the group and edited Group Policy through the console snap-in. No luck.

What now?

Thanks,
Michael

On each of the clients, right-click on "my computer", go to properties, and on the network identification tab, make sure that these clients are set to log on to the correct domain.

You should make necessary changes to default domain policies and that too in computer settings.
Next make sure your clients are set to proper domain.

I would try to create an OU, and then create a new policy on that OU. I would enable LoopBack processing (if being applied to machine accounts) I would set a policy that is easy to see (for example no desktop icons) and then move the accounts intothe OU, wait a few minutes, and reboot the client machines, and then log the user in to make sure the policy applied. If it doesn't apply, run GPResult (a free download from M$) to find out what is going on. GPResult will give info about what DCs are handing out policy, and what security groups the user and machine accouts are a part of. If it's not working at that point, you will have info about where policy is (or is not) coming from. Hope this helps!
