    I have a problem with my W2K workstations not processing group policy
    past the "Default Domain Policy". I have set up organizational units as
    follows.

    ourdomain.local --> Contains the "Default Domain Policy"
            Accounts
                        - Accounting
                        - Admins
                        - General Purpose
                        - Managers
                        - Production
                        - Purchasing
                        - Sales --> Contains "Sales Group Policy" (Let
    salespersons be local admins to their W2k workstations using restricted
    groups)
            Builtin
            Computers
            Domain Controllers --> Contains "Default Domain Controllers Policy"
            ForeignSecurityPrinciples
            Resources
                        - Admin Consoles
                        - Exempt
                        - Printers
                        - Servers
                        - Workstations --> Contains the "Workstation Group
    Policy" (Under Computer Configuration, set DNS server via VBS script, Use
    internal Software Updates server) (Under User Configuration, disable access
    to a: & b: Drives.)
            Users

    The problem I'm having is only the "Default Domain Policy" settings are
    applied (both Computer Settings and User Settings). The "Workstation Group
    Policy" processes only the "Computer settings" section of the group policy.
    Why is the "User Settings" Section of the "Workstation Group Policy" not
    being applied? How could I troubleshoot this issue.

    Thank you in advance,

    Mike...
