Strange application of group policy in 2008 R2 domain
Simple 2008 R2 domain (albeit running at 2000 level I noticed)
Customer has group policies created and linked into various OUs that match his users. He has some inheretance blocked but at first blush everything looks ok.
One of the group policies is for folder redirection. They previously had folder redirection in another GP (along with some other stuff). That GP has I believe since been changed to no longer point to that location, but to leave the contents in their location. (ie the GP related to folder redirect has been deleted, but there are still other rules left in the GP). I kinda think that might be why were seeing something hinky now.
Heres the strange part
I COPIED a user who isnt getting the new GP, and when I run the wizard that NEW user shows the new and updated GP for folder redirection. Running the wizard on the user I copied does not. Moreover, when I login with that user the folder is redirected properly.
I realize I havent given probably NEAR enough information, but the sheer strangeness that a copied user in the same OU would get different GPresults seems... strange.
Thoughts? Questions? Flames about not giving out enough info (theyre locking the doors, I didnt have time today to do more work)
