Local Security Policy not applied

What version of windows are you running. Is the Machine standalone or on a Domain?

Also, were you logged in as an Administrator when you made the changes to GPEDIT?

We are running in a Windows XP in Workgroup.

We are login as local Administrator when runnning RSOP

Policy is checked both computer and user policy is enabled

Is this Windows XP Pro or Home?

Windows Pro XP2

So can i confirm.

You are clicking Start > Run and typing GPEDIT.msc and pressing OK

When this opens up you are then making your policy changes. When you reboot those changes are not taking affect?

yes

Hi John

Can you check that C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy exists and that the .pol files timestamp changes when making these changes within GPEdit.msc.

Also can you try GPUpdate /Force after making these changes.

Cheers

I have check the *.pol is exists and the GPUpdate /force is done. but RSOP still not show the effective setting. I think rsop.msc cannot show the result of the local policy. Can you suggest another method to verify the local policy is applied other than gpresult and ROSP because gpresult is not details enough.

Hi John

Can you please try the following:

Click Start
Click Run
Type: MMC.exe
Click OK
Click File
Select Add/Remove Snap-in
Click Add...
Select Resultant Set of Policy
Click Add
Click Close
Click OK
Right Click "Resultant Set of Policy"
Select "Generate RSoP Data..."
Click Next
Select Logging mode
Click Next
Select This computer
Uncheck "Do not display policy settings for the selected computer in the results (display user policy settings only)
Click Next
Select Current user
Click Next
Check "Gather extended error information.  This may take several minutes."
Click Next
Click Finish

Are the results the same?

Cheers

They are the Same result.
