I have two workstations running Windows 7 Professional 64bit with SP1 and Windows Vista Business 32bit with SP2. Both are in the same OU and have a GPO linked named Hardening_Computers_Clients
.
This are the defined settings within the GPO:
This is what gpresult
tells me on the Windows 7 machine:
And here the gpresult
output on the Windows Vista machine:
I ran gpupdate /force
several times, rebooted more then twice but the gpresult output remains the same on the vista machine (notice the difference in the Behavior of the elevation prompt for ...
setting).
However UAC works as expected on the Vista machine (switches to the secure desktop and asks for username and password), but why does it keep telling me wrong settings? Also some of the configured settings are missing...
P.S: I am 100% positive that Hardening_Computers_Clients
is the winning GPO on both machines, I had to cut it off from the screenshot for better readability.
