Hi

I have a windows 2003 DC that I have configured group policy on an OU. When I log on from 1 of my XP machine to the Domain the group policy is not being applied. However when I log out & log in again the policies are applied. This happens intermittenly.

Please help?
Thanks.

I am assuming that the XP machine is a domain member. Are you logging in using a local account? Policies will not apply if you are, you must use a domain account to have policies apply. With local admin rights, go to the command line and type gpupdate /force. This should force a policy refresh and any policies that would normally apply would instantly take effect. Lastly you could use the resultant set of policy (rsop) snap in for the MMC. This will tell you what (if any) policies are being applied and from what GPO they come from.
