GP left over on Server, though not in AD?

[Scott Townsend]

I defined a GP for a OU that had a Terminal Server in it.

The GP is no longer in the properties for the OU ( and its not in AD that I
can find) though the Policies are still enforced on the Terminal Server.

If I go into the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy]

there are several References to the old GP. Should I just delete the
references or?

I'd like to get my TS back to normal...

Thanks,

Use gpresult /v to check the GP policies applied.

Next, move the computer account of the TS to an OU without any GPs and rerun
gpresult /v to verify.

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks.

I guess I'm not sure what I'm looking for/At...

My issue is that I have 25 Users on a server where I changed their profile
folders via a GP on an OU that a server was in top be:
\\server\profiles\%username%\Application Data
\\server\profiles\%username%\Desktop
\\server\profiles\%username%\Favorites
etc

That GP is no longer there for the OU (or in the AD that I can find) Though
my users still are downloading and storing stuff to
\\server\profiles\%username%\. I can change the Registry for HKCU and
when I log out and back in it reverts back to the
\\server\profiles\%username%\. folders.

When I run the gpresult /v it shows me policies, though none of them relate
to the Settings for the Profile Folders.

I've moved the Server to a different OU and ran:
secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce
secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce

reran gpresult /v and it shows the same results.

Is the setting involved with this problem the one below or something
different?
Computer Configuration
Administrative Templates
Terminal Services
Set path for TS Roaming Profiles

Have you restarted the Terminal Server having this problem after changing
the GPO? My experience is that a restart is need to make a change in this
setting effective.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
