Re: GPO not picking up computer settings

Those users are domain accounts or machine local accounts ??

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
