Windows xp group policy not updating

All of this works as expected, within the limits that tasks that require admin privileges must run during shutdown/startup and tasks that require network access (fileshares and sql server) must run during logon and logoff.

My problem occurs when trying to create and/or modify a registry key in HKCU.

There are a few ways to modify a workstation with Group Policies.

I have tried a few of these, and I could use some help.

Do the same steps in the User Configuration section.

I have about 100 of these puppies to manage via GPO. After much testing and trial and error, I have learned the following: Sometimes, it is the case that a registry key that is normally created in HKCU can also be created in HKLM.

All examples that I found with google point to modifying the HKCU key for this key.

Local and domain policies (if a computer is in the Active Directory domain) can be applied to the computer and its users.

The Group Policies are an excellent means to configure a system and able to increase its performance and security.
