Hello,

 

A while back I set up a Windows Server 2003 system. It had a domain

controller and DNS server installed. It served clients fine with logon/logoff

scripts and group policy working fine.

 

I reset up the server at a later date with SP2, it runs IIS, a Domain

Controller, and DNS Server.

 

What I am about do describe is extremely strange:

 

I set logon, logoff scripts in Group Policy. Of course, I refreshed the

group policy and restarted the server and client. Windows XP logs on with no

error and group policy is not obeyed.

 

So I set local group policy on that client machine, with logoff, logon

scripts and other settings. I refreshed the policy and restarted the PC?

Windows Xp still not obeying group policy even when it is local.

 

I made sure Slow Link, etc, was disabled and made sure Group Policy was

always executed.

 

Another wierd thing:

 

THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH THE Windows XP Machine (sorry about the caps)

 

Roaming Profiles, if I go on one machine, and log off, then add favourites

on another, I will have to restartt the computer to receive the favourites on

the Windows XP Pro.

 

Saving roaming profiles back to server seems ok, but loading the latest

seems a real problem. Have disabled Slow Link etc, but then again, group

policy is not working.

 

If I delete maybe a favourite off another computer, then log on to the

Windows XP one, it is still there. This is normal roaming profiles? Windows

XP is not downloading a new profile every time.

 

Folder redirection in Group Policy local or domain doesn't work either.

 

Please note:

 

Group Policy works on the server, e.g. Logon, Logoff scripts.

On Windows XP,I tried running scripts through My Network Places/NETLOGON/.

Client has permissions to read, execute, and the scripts run fine when I

launch them.

 

Can anyone help? Is it the new Server 2003 SP2?

    No, I just installed Windows Xp Professional fresh. It had Sp2 slipstreamed

    and I joined a domain through Setup and set up Network Identification Wizard

    (don't know exactly what this is for) but all network users are

    administrators and have admin rights to the pc.

    Hi,

     

    I'm using just the one Windows Server. Yes, it is a dns server. I don't know

    why, but in the two occaisons I've set up Server 2003, I've been forced to

    make it a dns server.

     

    Ahh...

     

    Now I have a DHCP server. On my router, my dns and ip for clients including

    the server is obtained automatically.

     

    Basically, 192.168.1.1 is the client dns I think. I will see if this is the

    issue.

     

    The thing is though:

     

    When I first set this up, I had no Server 2003 SPs and XP roaming was not

    configured in the install and wasnt slipped with sp2, just installed with

    sp2. And it worked fine, I didn't set my logon script in GP, I set it in AD

    by right clicking and entering a batch file. And it worked... I only trying

    to use GP because AD login scripts not working.

     

    Basically, the server is going wierd all settings I give aren't working or

    being obeyed by the clients. Folder redirection either. But mapping paths to

    users in AD works.

     

    You think the DNS is the issue here? I'll see. Thanks, but I have had

    roaming profiles before when placing my client dns to 192.168.1.1 not the

    server.

     

    So how come?

     

    I am not sure whether it is the client or the server. Scripts work fine at

    the server.

     

    If I do set my DNS on clients to point to the server, how do I go on the

    net? Can I still get on the net from the clients obtaining IPS from

    192.168.1.1 and DNS from 'Server'.

     

    Thanks a lot.
