Are they logging on to the domain controller or the individual machine?
Just because they are joined to the domain doesn't mean they aren't logging
into a local account that would override any network policies in place. At
the login prompt click the options and make sure the domain is the domain
controller not the local machine. If they are logging into the domain
controller not sure what else to try because I haven't had that problem. I
have about 15 XP clients logging into a 2000 server and have not had problem
with the policies. Even went a machine and tested them today to make sure.
