Dear all

I have the following situation:
2 DC with Windows Server 2003, 1 Terminal Server with Windows Server 2003
and 2 Terminal Server with Windows Server 2008.
For different clients I have different GPOs.

When I login as user A (from client group A with GPO A) to each of these 3
Terminal Server the GPO applies successfully.

When I login as user B (from client group B with GPO B) to each of those 3
Terminal Server the GPO does not apply.

I notice that I have the error in event viewer:
1053: Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified
user does not exist)

I have checked DNS which seems to be working correctly. The users are in the
same OU so there should be no permission issue.
I am able to see \\<domain name>\sysvol from the Terminal Server.
I also checkt the group membership. This is also correct.

Can anyone help me with this?

TIA
Chris

Hello Jancso,

GPOs are applied to users or computers, not security groups. Or do you use
security filtering on the OU where the user accounts are located, as you
are talking about client groups? Please clarify this a bit more.

Hi Meinolf

Thank you very much for your reply. Terminal Server users are in security
groups depending on the company they are working for. For each company I have
a different GPO.

When I open GroupPolicy Management I can see my GPOs. In each GPO is a
section called security filtering. In this section I inserted the
corresponding security group. Therefore I don't have to add each user of this.

I hope this is more understandable now.

Thank you for your help!
Chris

Hello Jancso,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from your TS and the DC/DNS server,
so we can exclude DNS as one problem.

Best regards
