Group Policy Problems

im hvaing some trouble getting my group polcies to apply. Im using windows Server 2003 with GPMC. I have about 5 seperate GP's which all do different things e.g. desktop, startmenu, internet explorer etc. All GP's have the same security, that is they are disable for Administrators, domain admins, eneterprise admins and enterprise domain controllers.

The problem is that not all the GP's are being applied, the logon message GP does not work, the Controll pannel GP does not work and neither does the internet explorer settings. Its so frustrating, i really cant see what else i can do.

The weird thing was they all the GP's were working fine until i did a gpupdate command and now only the disable run from startmenu is the only one working.

Anyone got any suggestions on this?

thanks

 

Try gpupdate /force
and make sure the policies are linked to the containers you are using.
