Thread: win2k3 Group policy

Dear All

We have win2k3 server in our office and all our clients are windows XP. We have group policy

for account , desktop, software restriction policy etc. But i found whenever i add new pc and trying to

apply group policy only account, desktop policies are getting applied. Software restriction

policy is not getting applied.


I have common wallpaper for all our clients sometimes wallpaper also not changing as per the

policy. In Software restriction policy i have denied the sol.exe, mines.exe using path rule.

But there are few pc's are still able access sol.exe etc.

Can someone help me how to apply all the group policy and also tell me how to identify which

are all policies are applied.

Even I tried to manually update group policy using gpupdate /force. It's not happening

It's the way that XP processes group policies.

Change your default domain policy. And turn the group policy below off.

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
