Windows Server 2003 Group Policy - Restricted Group problem

Hello everyone

Is there a way of finding out why a particular user keeps getting removed
from a Restricted Group, even though the user ID has been added to the
Restricted Group in the default domain policy? There are no other policies
applied to the OU which contains this users account, and no other users who
are in the same group (in this case engineers) have reported the same problem.

I'm hoping that I might be able to use a free tool to analyse the event logs
for an event ID which relates to a user being removed from a group either
automatically or manually, however I don't know if this is possible or
whether there might be an easier way to find out.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

(P.S. I had typed quite a detailed thread, but when I went to copy the text
(in case something went wrong when I went to post my thread), I managed to
paste something else over what I'd written! I'm fighting the urge to throw
my PC out of the window at the moment, so if you need any more detail please
ask.)

Have you modelled to the gpo to see if your gpo is overwritten by a higher
level gpo. You could run an rsop at the workstation to see what is the
correct gpo to edit also check if you're doing any loopback back
processing...
