Policies replication

[Guest]

Why when I create a new group policy in a OU on Active Directory, they don't apply imediately ?
Is there any delay like AD replication or things like that ?

thanks

Yes there is a replication process that needs to occur. There are a few
commands or ways to make sure that they are taking effect. 1. Reboot machine
if you have both user and computer settings configured. 2. secedit command
to force group policy update changes 3. gpupdate if you have winxp
workstations. 3. Time if you have background group policy processing
disabled then the only way to replicate changes is a reboot or a forced
update from the workstation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Group policy doesn't refresh immediately with the
exception of certain security settings. To refresh
immediately use secedit from the command line:

SECEDIT /REFRESHPOLICY MACHINE_POLICY for machine settings

or

SECEDIT /REFRESHPOLICY USER_POLICY for user settings.
