A couple of points here.

1.  Group Policy is refreshed on Domain Controllers every five minutes by default. The 
default refresh cycle is every 90 minutes on client computers.  If the event log 
entries you mention occur on a DC this may be perfectly normal.  What are the details 
of the event?

2.  It is not a good idea to mess with the Default Domain Policy, or for that matter 
the Default Domain Controllers Policy.  I would recommend that you change the name 
back to what it was.

3.  The use of "No Override" can cause confusion and should be used sparingly.   
Policies are applied in the order

Site - Domain - OU

...but in the event of conflict the policy that was last applied takes priority.  For 
example if you have conflicting settings in domain and OU policies the OU policy 
setting will win.

The GPRESULT tool is quite useful for detecting which policies have been applied.

For some reason, there is a GP being applied on the server every 5 minutes
(according to the Event Viewer).

 

In AD, I changed the name of the "Default Group Policy" to be "LAN policy"
and check-marked "No Over-Ride".

 

Where would I look to see what is being applied? It's changing all the
settings that I have set under "LAN policy" (i.e. IE branding, custom url
links, etc).

Thanks.
