Win2003 SP2 wont get policies applied

Post by e.avila » Fri Oct 03, 2008 11:48 pm

Im having an issue when deploying FireFox Comunity edition to a win2003 SP2 server. The software will get installed with addons and everything but none of the policies defined on the ADM get applied. A Xp workstation on the same OU gets the policies applied without issue.
This Win2003 server will be used as a terminal server so I need to lock down some settings. Is it by design that policies wont get applied to servers?

What can I do to have the policies applied on the server?

Can you turn on debug (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... 75423.aspx) and run the gpupdate command?

Found another post in this forum with a related issue. The solution was to use locked settings instead of default settings. Once I moved the settings from default to locked, it began applying the policies.
The default settings were getting applied to the XP machines without problem but they dont work for the Win2003 server.
Why does it behave different for a XP workstation and for a Win2003 server?
