ProTip: Group Policy Problems
by Kris Sum on Aug.27, 2010, under Technical
I’ve been scratching my head over why a particular group policy wasn’t being applied, and wasn’t even being seen by a group of computers in their gpresults. I finally found that a policy had the Loopback Policy Processing Mode set to ‘replace’ and not ‘merge’, this was on a policy which was of higher importance / more specific OU than the other policies.
Replace means that User policies that can be applied to the machine are not applied, as it will only obey computer policies based on the OU where that computer is, overriding any user policies, something i’d not come across until today!
This stopped my SBS 2008 folder redirections from working, but now they’re back up and running, hooray!
