this is query re processing of computer group policies. i note that not strictly AD related so i hope not to get 'shot down' !
i wanted to get a view on the 'retry' behaviour of the WIndows 2000 group policy engine, in a scenario of a user-initiated VPN, in which domain controller connectivity is not available until some time after user logon. this will impact the processing of computer polices that would normally be downloaded and processed prior to CTRL-ALT-DEL presumably, the initial computer policy processing would fail and only refresh on the next scheduled interval ?? OR does the GP engine attempt more aggressively to download policies on the basis of an initial failure ? if not it seems there are going to be major issues in endpoint config on the basis of any machine policies not being processed some way after user logon Help on this gladly received.
