This article describes the high-level steps to troubleshoot issues that you might have deploying a Group Policy to target machines or target users. For a rough understanding what Group Policy is and what it tries to do, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725828(WS.10).aspx  Table of Contents Introduction Group Policy Core Processing Group Policy CSE Processing Basic verification Troubleshooting Steps Related Topics Introduction Group Policy processing happens in two phases: Group Policy Core Processing Group Policy CSE Processing Group Policy Core Processing Where the client enumerates all Group Policies and settings that need to be applied. It reaches out to the Domain Controller to access Active Directory and SYSVOL in order to gather required data for policy processing.

Windows Server: User Group Policy Loopback Processing Mode Table of Contents Introduction Scenario Replace Mode Merge Mode Why is this configuration important to me? To enable Loopback processing Mode See Also Introduction Group Policy Objects (GPO) is a set of rules for Users and Computers, thus the policies for computers will be applied to computers and the policies for users will be applied to users. This article applies to  Windows Server  scenarios. Scenario Let’s assume that you have two organizational units in your domain: OU-TSSERVERS OU-SUPPORT In  OU-TSSERVERS  units, there are computer accounts, and in the  OU-SUPPORT  units there are users accounts. In  OU-TSSERVER , you created and configured a new GPO. So, there are policies for: Computer Configuration User Configuration In  OU-SUPPORT , you created and configured a new GPO. So, there are policies for: Computer Configuration User Co...

Processing a GP steps by step procedure: The client performs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) slow-link detection to a domain controller in its site to determine link speed. In Windows Vista, the use of ICMP for slow-link detection is replaced by the Network Location Awareness (NLA) service. The client reads CSE status information from its local registry to determine which GPOs were processed last. The client uses LDAP to search the gpLink attribute in Active Directory on each container object within its location in the Active Directory hierarchy—first at the OU level (including all nested OUs), then at the domain, and finally at the Active Directory site level. From the results of this search, it builds a list of GPOs that must be evaluated for processing. Each GPO is then searched in Active Directory to determine whether the client (user or computer) has the necessary permissions to process it. Its version number, the path to the Group Policy Template (GPT) portion o...
