Pretty easy one but dont think its on my blog, here’s how to clear down the GPO cache meaning it will pull down correctly:
- Open My Computer/Computer
- Go to: %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy
- Delete everything in the folder.
- Then delete: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Group Policy\History
- Restart the computer to re-apply the group policies
If that doesnt do what you need it to:
- Delete the “HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft” Key
- Delete the “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects”
- Delete the “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies”
Worse case:
- Remove the computer from the domain
- Restart computer
- Run gpupdate /force
- Rejoin the domain
