The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Network and/or group policy problem

Asked by mms_master in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: network, group policy, policy, windows, server, 2003, xp

Hi,

We have just replaced 17 old PC's with brand new ones. For some reason about 6 (so far) of them randomly seem to only pick up some of their policies. Here's some of the things we've noticed:

1) Their home directories are not mapped
2) Additional mappings set via a logon script are not mapped
3) They are able to right click the desktop and shouldn't be
4) Their wallpaper doesn't get replaced with ours
5) Their Internet proxy settings are missing (so they are unable to use the internet)
6) Symantec Endpoint's Icon shows that it is offline (I.e. cannot communicate with our Antivirus Server)

However, they are not able to browse the C drive; they are told that it's restricted... So something is being picked up...
We are also able to ping our domain controllers when this happens.

If we remove the computer from our domain and then add it again, it solves the problem. But only for a while.

We are running Windows Server 2003 on all of our servers and Windows XP Pro SP3 on all of our clients.

The event log from one of the computers has the following errors/warnings:

=================================================
Event: 1054

Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

Thanks in advance,
