So it looks like DNS and share permissions are probably OK.
Do you get a happy scecli 1704 event "Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully" after gpupdate? What type of settings are in the GPO? User and Computer? You could always try enabling some innocuous computer setting like adding a logon message box and seeing if it propagates. Here is one fix that involved corruption of a user profile, thought I would think it's unlikely in your case since it's happening on 6 different machines. http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2006/11/25/group-policy-f ails-for-one-user.aspx From: Owens, Michael [mailto:michael.ow...@dys.ohio.gov] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Group Policy Problem - I've lost all my hair No errors on the app log when I run GP update, and yes I can navigate out to the policies folder. ________________________________ From: Richard Stovall [mailto:richard.stov...@researchdata.com] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:11 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Group Policy Problem - I've lost all my hair What do you see in the app logs of the problem machines when you run "gpupdate /force" on them? Can you browse to \\domaindns.name\SYSVOL\domaindnas.name\Policies <file:///\\domaindns.name\SYSVOL\domaindnas.name\Policies> from the 02-07? From: Owens, Michael [mailto:michael.ow...@dys.ohio.gov] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Group Policy Problem - I've lost all my hair All- I seem to have a problem with GPO replication. I think. I am not really sure what the problem is - it just confuses me at this point. Here is the deal. I have a 7 server TS farm. They all run server 2008 64 bit edition, but I believe the problem is something with our DCs. Our domain is 2003. Server 1 has the licenses, and distributes them out accordingly. I added a GPO to it, to lock them down. All servers are in the same OU, and my test account is in a different OU with the same GPO applied to it. The servers are named STUCTX0x. STUCTX01 takes any group policy change I give it. If I change the GPO, and run a gpupdate /force... STUCTX01 takes the GPO when I log in on my test account. (lab rat) On STUCTX02-STUCTX07 it doesn't work. I logged onto the DC, and used the GP modeling wizard to simulate logging onto STUCTX02 with lab rat. It says it will pull the correct policies. So, I logged onto STUCTX02 and did a "gpresult /user lrat /v" It gives me "INFO: The user "lrat" does not have RSOP data." When I do that on stuctx01, it pulls the correct policy. Replication otherwise on the domain controllers appear to be working correctly. How do I get it to apply to all of the servers in that OU? Everything looks right to me, and I do not even know what to look at next!
