I created a new GPO and linked to the domain.local, I set the security filtering for domain\groupname &nbsp;The only thing in this GPO is to map a drive to \\server\share. &nbsp;I have it set to reconnect, and replace.<br />

gpresult /R on user machine shows her in the right domain\groupname but under the applied policies it only shows the default domain policy and another policy - not the new GPO I created.<br />
