From the GPMC run the Group Policy Results Wizard against this particular machine, and see if it shows that setting as being applied. If so, it will show you where it's getting it.

Lancaster Avenue Devon, PA 19333 Direct: (610) 993-3299 Fax: (610) 650-5306 [email protected] From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 10:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Group Policy Won't Go Away I created a group policy to force some machines in a lab to connect to a particular wireless network. Unfortunately, when creating the policy I made a mistake configuring the password. So when you try to connect to the network you get a message saying, “The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network.” So I turned the policy back off and ran gpupdate /force on the machines in the lab, and they all started working again in the sense that the policy was no longer applied and I could manually connect to the wireless network and enter the password. Except for one machine. That machine still won’t connect. Still says the saved settings for the wireless network are wrong. It says it’s getting its group policy updates fine, yet this policy just won’t go away. We’ve even gone so far as to unjoin the machine from the domain. Still, no luck. I can run regedit and look under the wlansvc -> GroupPolicy section and delete the key that has the SSID of the network (and, I’m assuming, is storing the wrong password info), but when I restart the WLAN AutoConfig service the key comes right back again. How the heck do I get rid of this policy once and for all?
