       Hi Martin. As I mentioned in another post to you, I would use dcdiag
and netdiag to make sure dc and workstations are set up correctly. The
domain policy should propagate to domain computers unless they are located
in an OU that has an overriding policy. If you check local security policy
on a client machine, you should see local settings and effective settings
for user rights and security options. If effective settings are different
than local settings then policies from the domain are propagating assuming
you have made any changes. Changes to domain policy will not be reflected
immediately in client computers. Many changes can take up to two hours to
show up. After making a change on a dc run [secedit /refreshpolicy
machine_policy /enforce] on the dc. Wait a minute or so and reboot domain
client. Group policies not propagating can be a result of physical network
problems, firewalls, dns misconfiguration, breakdown in secure channel,
incompatable security options , problems with sysvol on dc, and other issues
of course. --- Steve
