Some Clients not picking up a Change in Group Policy
Hi,
I have made some changes to the Default Domain Group Policy and half of the Servers and Clients in the Domain have picked up the Changes but the other half are still using the previous settings. I have tried doing a Gpupdate /force on the machines but still not getting anywhere.

What policy setting did you change/configure? Is the OS that the changes are not applying to common? Meaning, are they all Windows 2003 that have not accepted the changes?
ASKER
No they are a mixture of 2003 and 2008R2 and I have changed the Windows update settings to point to our new WSUS server. The Servers that are not picking up the changes are still pointing to the old WSUS server which is now offline.
Do you have group policy inheritance blocked on the OUs where the affected servers lie? Have you set any security or WMI filtering on the Default Domain Policy?
ASKER
There is no WMI Filtering and Inheritance is not blocked to theOU's. The Servers are all in the Computers OU in AD. I have not set any Security on the Domain Policy either
Anything in the Event Viewer on the affected computers after running 'gpupdate /force'?
ASKER
Nope the only thing I found the refers to Group Policy is and event that says:
Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully.
Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully.
I would run RSOP on the servers and make sure the servers are seeing the policies.
Is it possible the WSUS server configuration is set in the local group policy on the servers?
Also, I would move the servers out of the default Computers container and into another OU.

I have looked at the local policy and everything is set to not configured. I have also done an RSOP and it is saying it is picking up the old settings still. How do I check what Policy it is getting the settings from? Also Could it be a problem with the version number?
