Group policy ignored by new users

[james]

Hello,

I have just setup a Group policy on an OU with a test user and
everything went fine.
I then went to add the rest of the users using the net user command in
a batch file this created the users OK, so I then moved them to the OU
in question and added them to the group I setup for the test user. But
every new user in the batch file ignores the group policy settings
could somebody help me out with this one ?

PS here is my net user command
net user AbbsChr password /add /comment:"Sex = M" /fullname:"Year = 7
Abbs Christopher" /homedir:\\server1\year7\AbbsChr /passwordchg:no
/profilepath:\\server1\netapps\profile

Hi James,
What settings are you configuring with this GPO? The user accounts
themselves are in the OU where the GPO is linked, right? You mentioned
adding them to a group - what do you use this group for? Remember that
group policy is applied only directly to the user accounts and groups
can only be used for filtering.
Since you see the users in ADUC they are created fine and the problem
lies elsewhere.
