GPO (computer policy) not working after reboot.
Dear Sir,
I had created some Group policy (Computer Policy) for Windows 7. Is that suppose the computer policy will deployed once the workstations are restarted. I had found that some workstations not apply the new computer policy until I manually type gpupdate /force in command prompt and then restart once again.
Please advise and correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
With regards,

Reboot works only for local group policies
For domain:-
But if you have set new group policies for a PC then you have to run gpupdate /force on doman controller and then restart remote systems which are in domain OR wait for 120 mins as mentioned above.
When you make a change to a group policy, you may need to wait two hours (90 minutes plus a 30 minute offset) before you see any changes on the client computers. Even then, some changes will not take effect until after a reboot of the computer.

Make sure that GPO is linked to the correct OU and an OU contains all objects + that GPO is not enforced, no Block inheritance is set or no security filtering or WMI filtering is applied.

Thanks for your reply. Our network had around 150 workstations, but only 10 of them new group policy (computer policy that install SSL cert) need to do it in front of the computer. Before reboot, I type gpresult /R . I see the GPO is applied on the list. Then I reboot but no luck. Type gpupdate /force and then reboot. Then it works. Please advise what's happening?
Thank you.
