Trouble applying Group Policy to Windows XP

[Janet]

I am trying to use Group Policy to standardize
workstations. I have set up a policy following all kinds
of instructions. It will not apply to my workstation.
When I type in gpresult.exe, it says that there is no
policy in effect. How to get the policy to apply when the
user logs on?

This is rather general. Quite difficult to pintpoint what's wrong based on
the info that you have provided.
Some suggestions:
1. Verify network connectivity
- ran 'netdiag' at client and 'netdiag' & 'dcdiag' on DCs
2. Ensure that your policy are properly configured
- linked to the proper OU
- security filtering (Authenticated Users have Read & Apply Policy)
3. Check replication
- use 'repadmin /showreps' to ensure that there are no replication issue
- use 'gpotool' to verify that policies have been synchronized

Run gpresult again.
Check event logs on clients for error.
