OT: Group Policy enforcing?

Probably not the issue, but you might want to look at the date/time on the
workstations. I once inadvertently set the time on my workstation (W2000
Pro) 12 hours off (was set at AM and was actually PM). When I rebooted PC,
I couldn't log onto network (W2000 Server)or even get PC to boot without
network connection/mapping. Had to reset time through Bios setup to correct
problem.

Subject: [Vantage] OT: Group Policy enforcing?


Boy got a weird one yesterday and today
I accidentally reset my servers date to Feb 21st (Shop employees were
complaining about Vantage being 2 minutes off form our time whistle)
Somehow the Server got set to 2/21/04
People called in yesterday and could not access the network
I fixed it
But when most logged in, the group policy would not get applied (Which maps
drives, printers etc)

(I AM Running Windows 2003 Server by the way)

So if I go around to each workstation and do a
SECEDIT /REFRESHPOLICY USER_POLICY /ENFORCE from DOS and reboot, most of the
time this fixes it

So got all the cleared up yesterday

Found out this really screwed Vantage up

But this morning I have problems with the policies being enforce again

Any idea what's going on?

Its driving me nuts

Thanks

Don't have any specifics to give you but whenever I have an issue on the
servers or desktops, the first thing I look at is the eventlog. I
usually will find an error that will give me a clue where to look. I
will then search Microsoft's website for help. Another good website is
www.eventid.net. Costs $25/yr but has some good help there. Good luck.
