Re: GPO not picking up computer settings

Run RSOP mmc snapin against a domain controller to see what it shows for
password settings for domain users and the enforcing GPO which by default
would be domain security policy but as Roger said could be any GPO lined to
the domain container and the higher a GPO is in the list the more precedence
it takes. You can also run net accounts on a domain controller to see what
is shown for password policy settings other than complexity. Net accounts
run on a domain member computer will show the settings for local user
accounts on that computer. The link below explains more and even though it
does not explicitly say so account policies also are defined in the domain
container for Windows 2003 as shown for Windows 2000.. --- Steve

OK, I have managed to get the GP Management tool to pick up the settings
and it says that it is applying them in the way that I want them to on the
machine and user against which I ran the test. I went in to the Local
Policy and it has picked up the settings. But when I try to change there
password it lets me do it with less characters that required, it is not
picking up the history of old passwords, and it isn't enforcing
complexity. I really don't understand this.

Please help!!

Hi,

I have created a Group Policy for remote users. The only settings I have
configured are the ones that pertain to passwords and account lockout. I
have moved those users to an OU that is linked to the new GP, but the
settings weren't taking affect. So I generated a report and it came back
saying the policy was empty. But that's just wrong. If I go in and
configure user settings those are picked up, but the computer settings
aren't. Why?

TIA,

Jarryd
