Hi there,
We currently run a Netware 6.5 environment (with the latest service pack) and use group policies and DLU's in the in the following way:
Staff: DLU with user rights, No group policy assigned to user OU
Students: DLU with user rights, group policy assigned as a user policy.
All workstations: Group policy assigned as a workstation policy with the computer and user boxes ticked in the applied settings types window. They are set to impersonate the interactive user. (also tried unsecure system but it does work either)
We have the following problem:
When staff login for the first time ever to a particular machine the group policy doesnt apply (and therefore logon scripts dont run, restrictions dont work etc). The second time and subsequent logins will usually work however sometimes they dont and I cannot figure out why. We have found that setting the staff member to be an administrator allows the policy to be applied, however we want them to be users, not administrators.
Students work as expected.
The reason we do this is because we have all staff as members of a user package that applies a DLU. We have laptops and desktops and we dont want to apply a group policy to the laptop as it is owned by the staff member. Hence we apply the group policy through a workstation package which is applied to desktops only.
Basically I would like a solution on how to get the policy applying on first login or a solution where we can apply the group policy to a USER OU but it skips the laptops.
Any help would be much appreciated
