Why doesn’t gpupdate /force work on my clients?

Asked By TechWhiz987 On

I've been facing an issue on my domain where running `gpupdate /force` or just `gpupdate` on all our computers doesn't seem to do anything. However, when I access a server remotely and run the same command, it works fine. I've been trying to troubleshoot this for the past 15 days, but I haven't made any progress. I've checked the DNS entries, and everything looks correct. Additionally, the clients can access the SYSVOL and NETLOGON folders without any issues. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Are you ensuring that you’re delegating permissions to authenticated users? That might also affect how policies are being applied.

Try running `gpresult /h C:tempWITAFIGO.html` to check the result. Also, look at the event logs—it might show what's happening under the hood.

Could it be that some of the workstations are cloned without using sysprep? If that's the case, AD might think they're already updated with the GPOs since they share the same installation ID, even if the computer names are different. Just a thought!

What kind of error are you seeing when you try to run it on the clients? It might give us a clue about what's going wrong.
