Thanks Tim, I hadn't specifically added permissions for the PC, but I was under the impression that Authenticated Users should handle all the machines.
I just went back and added the everyone group and the specific computer in question and gave them read permissions to the GPO on the delegation tab in Group Policy Management. Waited, updated, rebooted, still no love.

We see this fairly regularly with Computer specific GPOs due to computer groups not being added by default. TVK From: Bill Songstad (WCUL) [mailto:administra...@waleague.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 5:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GPO puzzler Scenario: W2k3 domain Vista Business SP2 workstation Goal: Disable offline folders Strategy: Create AD OU: Domain > Local machines > vista workstations Place workstation into OU Create and link "disable offline folders" GPO to the previously mentioned OU Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Offline Files > Allow or disallow use of the Offline Files Feature = disabled Wait several hours, reboot, wait again, run gpudate /force on the client, wait, reboot, wait Result: Offline files are still available and syncable Any idea where I dropped the ball on this? Running the Group Policy Results Wizard on the workstation shows the policy applied on the Computer Configuration but denied on the User Configuration with the reason "empty". Running the Group Policy Modeling Wizard with the same OUs shows nothing would be denied. Googling, Binging, and banging my head comes up with the usual culprit being trying to apply a user setting to an OU with only computers in it. But in this case I'm dealing with a computer setting in a group that only contains computers. Any help is appreciated.
