Retention Policy using GPO
Once I have configured a GPO how do I enure this is distributed to all users
- do I do this at the server end (in which case should I be reading the Group Policy snap in chm) or do I need to have something installed at workstation level? I have set the Scope to include [domainName].local and the Security Filters setting is Users. Am I missing something? |

Retention Policy using GPO
Should also mention that I am using 2003 versions of Win server, Exchange and
outlook. I have used the references at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...402861033.aspx and http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...402401033.aspx but both only seem to go so far. They both talk about settings within the GPO but not what to do then. Any other reference points for me to look at? |

Retention Policy using GPO
Where's the edit button :-(
Should have said workstations are all Win2K - not sure if this is going to have any impact. |

Retention Policy using GPO
Hmmm, maybe - that site states that "Note that the settings are enforced to
all users of that computer even the administrator! As an administrator you can of course change settings through the MMC when required" which suggests that the GPO is configured from a client computer in this instance rather than from a server. This then leads me to ask do I need to import these settings from the server onto client machines? If this is the case how do I do that - this seems to be the missing information gap in my research.

Retention Policy using GPO
Ideally, you'll manage them completely from Active Directory Users & Computers on the domain controller, without ever visiting the client machines.

Retention Policy using GPO
Indeed, this is what I'm trying but failing to do. I'm pretty certain that I
have managed to configure the GPO correctly according to all the documentation that I have read. What I seem to be failing to do is have this GPO apply itself to client machines. I dont know what processes I need to follow to do this nor can I find any information that details past the level of configuring the GPO. I assume it is not 'majik' but I cant find any help on how to push this policy out to users. I appreciate the help you have given so far.

Retention Policy using GPO
Are the users logging into your WIndows domain? What object in AD did you use to create the policy on? Group Policy, amazingly, doesn’t apply to security groups. It applies only to the user or computer accounts in the Site, Domain or OU. So, you’ll need to move the user’s account into the OU where the GPO is linked. Log back in as the user, and you’re in business. (from http://www.gpanswers.com/faq/)

Retention Policy using GPO
Thanks for the link, I'm still slogging away with this. I went back to
basics with this - I created a new OU and a new test account within the an Users OU within this OU and created a new GPO on that OU. Still no go. gpresult /v /u shows that policies were applied but this just is not happening :-( I can push it through on a CMW file rather than a group policy but this brings us right back to having to implement it at the local machine level. While this is not too bad here, we are a reasonably small enterprise, it is still not ideal. Anyone else got any ideas?
