Re: problem with "Restricted Groups" within a GPO linked to my dom



You are saying that the users no longer appear as members of the RG but the
member of tab on their user account shows that they are still members? If
that is the case maybe you need to close ADUC and reopen it to refresh it.
Try running the command net user username on a domain controller to see what
it shows for group membership for a user after they have been removed from a
RG to see if it shows proper group membership and be sure to logoff and
logon again if you are using the test user account so that their security
token is refreshed. If problems persist and you have more than one DC make
sure they are replicating properly with tools like dcdiag, replmon, and
gpotool. --- Steve
