RE: [ActiveDir] Policy Failing to apply
Ok. If this user has a roaming profile, you might try deleting any locally cached copies of her profile and letting the roaming one download anew. That might free things up. Outside of some profile issue, you could check the IE Maintenance logs to see what is going on. If you open up her profile on the local machine and go into Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer, there should be a log file called brndlog.txt that will contain the events that IE Maintenance generates at application time.

RE: [ActiveDir] Policy Failing to apply
Darren, Thanks for the suggestion of looking in the log. I'll check that out. She does have a roaming profile, but as the error follows her to a new machine, I think its most likely her server profile has become damaged in some way. This seems pretty common even though we have UPH clean loaded on most machines. I was trying to avoid re-building her profile as she has a lot of odd apps installed and It might take a while to get everything right.
