Any GPO processing errors in the Event Log? Cheers Ken

There is a very small set of exceptions in that policy. I have six or eight machines that did not pick up the exceptions, all in a lab and they are identical to the other machines in the lab both in hardware and the ghost image we use on them. So I hit them with a gpupdate /force and boot. Still not there. Check their machine accounts and they all look good. So I manually removed them from the domain and renamed them. Then added them back into the domain and ran a gpupdate /force. That worked and they were good to go. Next day they have lost the settings again. I should point out that ‘firewall on’ is one gpo object and the exceptions are another. So it is getting part of the group policies but not others. It is almost as if these machines have something on them that is resetting the firewall exceptions. None of the users are admin or power. Any ideas gang? I am at a total loss. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
