KWestos Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Our policies have suddenly stopped working - please help. All the kids have access to everything now!
SYNACK Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 What does the event log of an affected client say, have you had a look at the RSoP snappin on a client pc. Is there anything in the server event log and can you get to the \\domain-name\netlogon folder?
KWestos Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 What troubleshooting have you done so far? The only thing so far is to reboot the servers. We are trying to find out right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't really know yet, on the face of it, some are applying OK - this does not make sense
Dom_ Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Check "details" for the policies not being applied, make sure they haven't been set to disabled!
elsiegee40 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Do go through your Group Policy Management console and check they are still "Link enabled" (right click on the policy) my red-face moment was when I 'unticked' this to do something and forgot to redo it. Everything looked fine, but the policy concerned wasn't applying
FN-GM Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 What happens when you try and edit policies? I hope for your sake the sysvol isnt messed up.
a_monkey_hint Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The only thing so far is to reboot the servers. We are trying to find out right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't really know yet, on the face of it, some are applying OK - this does not make sense What does gpresult from a client come up with? Check the client event log to see if any messages regarding policies are being flagged up. Is it happening for specific users or iscolated to particular machines? Try removing the profile from a student and check whether policies reapply. Is this happening to both staff and students?
Michael Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 If you have multiple domain controllers, make sure the File Replication Service is running on both servers. I also agree with previous comments - if you haven't already, install GPMC; a really useful Microsoft tool which allows you to see just what policies are being applied.
rh91uk Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Might possibly be a file replication error. Again, I really hope your sysvol isn't messed up!
ricki Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 HI Dont forget to make sure that clients and servers are time synced otherwise kerberos will not work properly. Richard
IanT Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 check DNS Servers all up and running, I had a problem before when my DNS was down, policies wouldn't load. worth checking Group Policies Results app I think.
KWestos Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Hi, many thanks for all your comments. It turns out it was in DHCP. The DNS entry in scope options disappeared- don't know how. But we put the entry back in and for now - it's working
