Windows XP Embedded and GPO settings

Posted on the May 19th, 2008 under Life by Christian

We’re currently having a weird issue (which we had before); the Windows XP Embedded powering our Wyse V90’s isn’t applying any GPO settings if you log on with a user that has a configured profile.

Googling (is that a valid word yet ?!) for it, only resulted in one useful link, which is apparently a guy with the exact same problem … *shrug* I’m completely out of ideas by now, as I don’t even have a place to start (as in where the reason might be located).

Well, I do have a place to start with (that’s the local Events Viewer), which indeed lists some errors, but only such errors which ain’t making any sense. For example I see this:

  • Userenv:1086 - “Windows cannot do loopback processing for downlevel or local users. Loopback processing will be disabled.
  • SceCli:1704 - “Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully.
  • Userenv:1085 - “The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension.
