System Policies No Longer Applied Using Third-Party Client Service (166838)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q166838 SYMPTOMS
System Policies on a Windows NT system may not take affect. The policies
may not work when first implemented, or subsequent changes to the central
policy file may not alter existing policy settings on the client.
CAUSE
There may be many causes to Policies not being read by the client. A few
standard things to check include verifying the location of the policy file
Ntconfig.pol on the Netlogon share, verifying this policy file being
replicated to all domain controllers within the domain, and verifying the
Update mode of the client is set properly.
Another cause may be a third-party service or client redirector. To verify
this is the cause, remove the third-party client software and try the
policies again.
