GPO doesn't work for specific OU

Hello,

I created a new OU for a single Win 2003 Std R2 SP2 Term Server. I then
right-clicked on the OU and chose "Create & Link a GPO here". Under
"Links", I right-clicked on the OU and there are checks next to "Enforced"
and "Link Enabled".

I then edited the GP for the OU by right-clicking on the GPO and choosing
"Edit". I did a test edit by going to:

User Conf \ Admin Temp \ Start Menu and Taskbar

and set "Remove Run Menu from Start Menu" to Enabled.

It's not taking, and I can't seem to find the reason on the DC's EV\App or
EV\System logs. On the Term Serv's EV\App logs, there is an entry that
says:

Execution of GPO scripts has timed out and have been terminated.

What am I doing wrong? Ultimately I hope to setup GPO for this TS to a
select group in Security Filtering.

Thanks,

jcy

Use GPMC to test, and enable Loopback Processing with Replace.

Thank you, that fixed it right up.

Computer config settings will work without loopback processing, but User
config settings need it.

I just put in my first computer config setting with a software restriction
policy under:

computer config \ windows settings \ security settings \ software
restrictions

and it didn't take, though your earlier tip about loopback has worked
perfectly for all user config settings.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,

jcy

Do you have the Win 2003 Std R2 SP2 Term Server in the OU? It should be the
only thing in that OU.

Yes, I created a separate OU and is the only server in there.

Use the GPMC to test the policy to see why it does not apply.

Google "GPMC" for info.
