group policy monitoring

Hi,

Is there a way to monitor when a policy blocks something on a client pc.
Reason?
When I log on a client pc as domain user, a certain crm app works for a
certain time. After a while it won't startup anymore. Untill you
delete/recreate the profile.

Anyone can help me with this monitor question?

That doesn't sound like a Policy issue. Policy is either in place or it
isn't, so I'd be surprised if the creeping CRM failure is a policy thing.
Also the fact that re-creating the profile fixes it also tells me its not
policy, since policy would just apply to the new profile the same way it did
to the old. However, to answer your question, the closest you can get to
policy monitoring is to run Regmon from www.sysinternals.com while the
errant app is starting and see which policy keys are being read by it.
