Group Policy on work at home users

I have a remote PC that need Group policy updated to change a software setting.,   they use a xenn app environment to perform their work.

Group policy on this pc  has not been connected to the network since its deployment so gp has not updated.  how do i import current group policy without having the user return the pc.  


Thanks  ahead of time.

I am not sure if i understand the above statement correctly. If this is a domain machine (which i am assuming it is) Group Policies ARE applied to this machine. You have Default Domain Policies at a minimum (unless of course you are using Blocked Inheritance)

If policies are not getting applied then it is usually due to incorrectly configured Security Filtering on the GPO and or improper placement of a GPO.

If you are applying User Policies to these XenApp Servers and the users are not in the same OU as the XenApp servers then the user policies will only apply from where the user is located in the AD OU.

If you want User Policies to apply on the Xenapp servers to your users that connect to these servers then you need to configure Loopback Policy processing with replace mode.

Also what you might want to do is run RSOP.msc from the server itself and see what Computer and User Polciies are being applied.

Yes  the PC was imaged and deployed to the remote user -  there is no vpn connection, users just use a web browser to connect to xenapps that they use to perform their duties.

This way our work at home users can BYOD  if they like or we can issue them equipment.

I will check Will's suggestion ,  but i think i may go a different route for the next upgrade.

Question asked for a way to apply Group Policies to a remote machine that was not brought inside the company network,  The two Microsoft supported solutions to solve that problem were suggested.  What additional information would be needed to confirm the answers?
