That's what I'm looking at now. Should that be run on the source, or target machine, or does it matter? Also, is replmon available for 2k8? The server I've been making the changes on is 2K8, and the replication is happening to one of my 2K3 DCs, but not the other.

The other DC is not showing these settings within the policy in sysvol. Is there a way to check this replication, to verify that it is even setup? >>> Ken Schaefer <k...@adopenstatic.com> 9/9/2009 9:17 AM >>> If RSOP is not showing the setting, then check the DC that your client is connecting to, to see what *it* thinks the policy should be (e.g. load GPMC and target that DC). Verify that the relevant GPO objects in sysvol are present on that particular DC.

However, running rsop.msc following this does not show the new settings. It does show other settings from that GPO, but those were already in effect prior to me adding the banner. But the banner isn't coming up. I'm guessing I'm going to have to bounce the servers that aren't taking it, at this point, as there has been plenty of time for policy updates, both manual by me, and automatically through the system. >>> Ken Schaefer <k...@adopenstatic.com> 9/8/2009 9:13 PM >>> Check event logs for any GPO processing errors Check your DC replication status to work out whether the GPO has actually replicated to the DCs that these clients are talking to etc Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Heaton [mailto:jhea...@dfg.ca.gov] Sent: Wednesday, 9 September 2009 5:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: group policy updating Hmm, thanks Devin. I tried that on one of the machines, and the two settings in question are not showing as being defined at all, much less by a group policy. I don't think this is one of those changes that requires a reboot, at least the gpupdate didn't indicate it. I'll give it some time, and check it again in the morning... Thanks, Joe L.

Some of the machines in question had one, but they were added manually either to the Local Security Policy, or directly to the registry. I've gone in, deleted any entries in these two locations, I've run gpupdate /force, and logged out and back in. When I do this, some machines show the correct banner, and show it in Local Security Policy, grayed out, which tells me it's getting it from GP. Other machines don't seem to be updating, even after sitting for a while.The successes and failures vary from 2k3 to 2k8, physical, and virtual boxes. > > Anyone have any idea what I can look at to troubleshoot this? > > I've gone into GPMC, and run the Group Policy Results tool, using my account on the boxes in question, and the results come back saying that the desired group policy is supposed to be affecting it. > > Thanks, ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
