.Shant,

The only thing I can think is that the policies themselves are the problem.
Do the DC's have the same IPSec Policy that you are trying to apply to the
other machines?
If so they may be blocking all traffic from all address, if ICMP traffic
between the DC and the other machines is blocked, then the IPSec Policy
won't get applied. There needs to be ICMP traffic to apply GPO delivered
policy.
