Applying Group Policies in Windows 2008 Server

[peterattheboro]

I currently have 2008 server running on a virtual machine and have successfully added my laptop to the domain.

Now i'm trying to set the homepage to the laptop from...

User Config > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > disable changing home page settings.

IE on the server is configured correctly and is how I want it but it still hasn't applied to the laptop.

I've also tried Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Mainentance, but i've had no joy.

What am I missing?

Sorry. It's Vista.

And cheers

Reboot the laptop and be patient are 2 words of advice.

Policies (at least on W23K) sometimes take a while to apply to clients.

Also try gpupdate /force on the laptop followed by a reboot.

Believe me I was!

Our 2000 server running Exchange with 80 odd computers beat my 2008 server which only had a laptop connected to it!

I'll try everything that's been suggested tomorrow when i'm back in work.

Cheers!
