Policy being ignored on machine in domain

July 18, 2007

I've got a machine running 64bit XP Pro, fully up-to-date, on our domain

here. When a user logs in they get what appears to be the policy except for

one element: the background page doesn't work. Normally the desktop changes

to an active desktop that we have set up with our usage policy and other

important information.

However, it's not working for users. This only happens on 64bit XP, and I

don't know why. Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround?

RE: Policy being ignored on machine in domain

Are you using Roaming profiles? If so and you are using a custom background,

it will not roam with the profile. You should show the registry entry and

the path to the background.
