RE: [ActiveDir] Extremely Weird Problem

That is an extremely weird problem.  You did not explain that you were working on the default domain controller policy in your highest (only?) domain.  I was presuming that you were working on an OU group policy for the member servers.  If that was the case, the domain policy could override the OU policy if the 'No override' box was checked.   How many domain controllers do you have in operation within the domain?  My next thought is one of the DCs is not synchronizing properly and is resetting the audit values and increasing the policy version #.

On 3 people are domain admins in the domain and I’m the only one at work.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adams, Kenneth W (Ken) Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 9:02 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Extremely Weird Problem   Have you checked for a higher level GPO that may have these settings configured the way they are changing back to?  My only other thought would be another person with permission to change the policy is changing it back.
