I’m pretty stumped, but maybe you could try making sure that when you run GPMC for the other user, that it uses the same DC as when you run it for yourself to confirm it’s not something like a replication issue.
Alternatively, get the GUID for the GPO, then check the respective folder under SYSVOL on each DC to make sure that gpt.ini has the same time stamp on each one. (Assuming you don’t have a large number of DCs to check!) Also, if you could maybe inconvenience the user to log on to your workstation so that a profile is created, then you would be able to choose that account for the user settings next time you run RSOP. *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife *Sent:* Wednesday, January 25, 2017 11:58 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] Group Policy question The settings themselves are not being applied. The last time group policy was processed: 1/25/2017 8:26:02 AM (from summary page) Under Applied GPOs, the policy in question is listed as applied. The odd thing is this: I’m wondering what the Revisions are off. If I look at the GPO itself, on the Details tab, it shows the same revision in AD and sysvol. On the specific policy I’m looking at (CDFW Proxy Policy), there are no WMI filters. It’s linked to 2 OUs, not in a direct path of each other, and it is applied to Authenticated Users. The above is for a user, on their machine. If I run the same report for me on my machine, I do have the settings applied, the settings do appear in the report, and the revision info is as above. This is not a new policy. It was created 9/1/2015, and it is used to set the proxy settings in IE. It has been working well since it was created, but in the past couple of days, I’ve heard of a couple of users that it is no longer working for. *From:* [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On Behalf Of *Charles F Sullivan *Sent:* Wednesday, January 25, 2017 7:17 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] Group Policy question Is it only that the reporting is wrong, or does the user also not get the settings applied? When you run the Results Wizard from GPMC on the Summary tab are there any errors and does it show a recent time stamp for the last user policy refresh? On the Details tab under User Details > Applied GPOs, if you show the details for the GPO in question does everything look right? Are there any Security Filters or WMI Filters that might affect the user? (Possibly certain permissions like Allow Read but not Apply GP might cause this, but I’m not certain.) *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife *Sent:* Tuesday, January 24, 2017 5:25 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] Group Policy question OK. I’ve done the Group Policy Results wizard for the user in question on their PC, and for myself on my PC. I have the policy applied correctly, the user does not.

Try the Group Policy Results Wizard in the GPMC for the same user to see if you get different results.
