Hey there. I recently set up a test environment using Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP in Virtual PC 2007 environments. I installed WDS administrative templates on the Server 2003 machine but the rules I've set up are not being applied to the XP machine (both being run on the "CONTOSO" domain.)
I'm trying to think of anything I've missed. I've gone through the administrative guidelines but I can't see why this might not be working. Has anyone else ever encountered issues with Group Policy rules not being applied
Any suggestions at all would be wonderful.
Many thanks!
(I avoided using WDS 3.0 as I've heard that GP doesn't really work with it...so, I stuck with WDS 2.6.x.)
Possible Reasons Why Group Policy Rules Aren't Being Applied?

A Microsoft Engineer answered this question previously (on this forum) saying that WDS 3.0 does not support enterprise features, including the group policy stuff which applied to WDS 2.6x. Basically you need to roll back to 2.6x (if possible - it doesn't work with Office 2007) if you need to use group policies.
This will supposedly be addressed in a future release of WDS.

Hey there...that's what I meant when I said:
"(I avoided using WDS 3.0 as I've heard that GP doesn't really work with it...so, I stuck with WDS 2.6.x.)"
I was asking about 2.6.x and wondering what reasons there might possibly be for Group Policy rules not being applied. Here's hoping I didn't cause any confusion.
Thanks!
