I've setup a GPO in a Windows 2000 domain.  There is only one account in the
particular OU, and I've setup the home page to goto a specific page.  I just
recently changed the page that it is going to, yet the change hasn't
replicated to the machine.  THe change was made a while ago, yet it's still
going to the previous page.  Is there something I'm missing or have missed. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

need to restart the computer for the policy to take effect. just a thought

You need to wait up to two hours, unless you run one of the following
commands (dependent on OS):

secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce    (Win2k)
gpupdate /force    (WinXP)


If this doesn't work you will need to troubleshoot.  Start with the
application event log - look for scecli and userenv errors and warnings.
Also look at running GPRESULT and looking at
%systemroot%\debug\usermode\userenv.log

Thanks for the advice.  I was able to fix the situation by removing the URL I
had setup as home, and unchecking the option.  I then logged back onto the
machine in question, and I had the default Windows home page.  I then went
back to the policy and I checked the check box for a default home page, and I
entered in the correct url and when I tried it again on the machine it worked.
