Hello SteveP,

Is the security of your GP configured to "apply group policy" for domain
computers? Run gpresult on the workstation to the applied group policy settings.

Hi Myweb:

I'm afraid I have a follow up question.

On clients the Messenger service is now Automatic (where it was disabled
before).

But it is not Started.

I'm on the right track, but what have I missed to Start the Messenger service?

Thanks, Steve

Hello SteveP,

The services has some dependencies. Are they also running?
