Additional Information
When a new workstation has been assigned a
workstation group policy via a Workstation Package and the location
of the files belonging to the group policy is unavailable (e.g.
server down, missing rights, wrong path) the group policy will never
be downloaded after the problem has been fixed. If the location
of the group policy files is not available, changes are still made
in the registry that the group policy is downloaded without problems and can be used by the workstation as a valid group policy.
If the location problem has been corrected, the workstation will
not download the group policy, but will still be using the default
that has been copied in the cache directory upon
installation.
