Recent Group Policies not applying to new PC

[Novalee]

Odd one, noticed this a few times recently, not consistently though.

 

When building new machines (Windows 7 64bit) they are connecting to the domain, I can add them to the right group and apply the policies they need. I can connect to them remotely, so they are definitely being recognised by the network with their names.

 

However, they just won't install ANY software from group policies. It's so bizarre. I've tried readding them to the domain, renaming them, deleting them from the domain and readding and they just won't work. More recently, the solution was just to reinstall. But it's odd and frustrating. Has anyone had this before?

 

Thanks.

Ah - sorted it. It was trying to apply the policies but not getting enough time so I followed the steps outlined in this article:

and that worked. Still odd that it's only occasionally a problem - the same policy applies across the school without problems.

I'm guessing it's a case of one policy change versus getting the entire group policy?
