       Make sure that the clients can successfully ping a domain controller
    because the clients will do this as a test to verify connectivity before
    attempting to update group policy. If the ping fails for any reason
    (even though other traffic flows freely) then group policy will not be
    updated on the client.

       We discovered this after we tried blocking ICMP ping last year.
