Seems like it could be down to an MS patch as the new machines are patched to the 'nth' degree while the old ones typically only had critical patches..... I investigate further.
-----Original Message----- From: Rutherford, Robert Sent: 28 May 2004 15:43 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Probable GPO issue Hello, I'm having a strange one here.... We have just deployed a large batch of new pc's into the enterprise. The users do not have access to the file associate option within explorer as it is greyed out. I can't think or see of any policy change which would have such an effect? Old machines are fine and have exactly the same GPO's applied... I suspect they must have had some registry tattoos left from a previous deployment or something. I have compared the two different registries and they seem identical in the hklm\sw\ms\windows\cv\policies\ and hk_cu. They have exactly the same permissions on the old boxes as the new.
