MatthewL Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 We have a trust to our local council as we have their staff working on our machines etc. We have a group policy which is a loopback one to replace. I have created an OU and applied filtering so that COUNCIL\Domain Users only get it as it is a user policy. These settings are not pulling through and neither is the login script which is set in the profile tab on the council AD. We can view their network and this was working but we are unsure when this stopped. When I try and do a gpresult from within Help & Support I get invalid namespace. This is happening on a variety of machines. Any ideas as I am pulling my hair out here!
MatthewL Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 *****Bump***** I am still having issues and could do with some help please.
TheMinister Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Have you checked your cross domain trusts are still working ? Can your client computers resolve the 'COUNCIL' domain ?
MatthewL Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Trusts are all up. I can resolve the domain. We can see all their stuff that we have access to.
TheMinister Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 The invalid namespace leads to a DNS issue. Check the GPO and make sure that the domain is referenced correctly, use FQDN where possible. What client OS are you running?
MatthewL Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 The domain is referenced as domain.gov.uk which can resolve to the correct IP's 10.x.x.x which it is. I am using XP Pro SP3.
MatthewL Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 Their FQDN is COUNCIL.gov.uk, we can resolve it on the correct addressing.
TheMinister Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 When you're assigning 'Apply Policy' rights to a user.. are you using: Council\Authorised User OR council.gov.uk\Authorised User ?
MatthewL Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 Doing it to COUNCIL\Domain Users as I use the AD bit where it matches and pulls it from their domain.
MatthewL Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Right created an OU and blocked inheritance on this and just applied the one policy and it applied. It looks like another group policy could be conflicting with this if this is at all possible. I am going to apply the policies one at a time till it breaks!
