Group Policy and Fast Logon Optimization Feature

I am attempting to push out an MSI client via group policy. On some workstations, the software installs just fine. On others, it appears the policy applies but does not install the software during synchronus startup. As a test I modified the Fast Logon Optimization feature to be enabled so it would behave as a Windows 2000 client. The referenced policy path is here:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon

I've tested the same 2 machines with the issue and did not notice a change. I've rebooted more than the 2 required. I've receive a reboot response when i run a gpupdate /force.

So now I'm left with more questions than answers. At the default domain policy level, the setting is set to "not configured". I am curious as to whether or not the default domain policy is overriding the ou applied GPO of "enabled".

Anybody have any ideas on some things I can test or verify?

You can run an RSoP report to see what is applying. The only way the domain policy would win is if enforced is set on it....otherwise the OU policy will win/take precedence

Any events in the logs of the machines that are failing?

Thanks
