Question

New OUs and groups take very long to reflect in Group Policy Management

Soar 116

When I create an OU or group in Active Directory Users and Computers, it takes a very long time to appear in Group Policy Management.

Is there a way to reflect it right away in Group Policy Management?

Hello Soar,

Thank you for posting in our Q&A forum.

How many DCs are there in your domain?

If you check newly created OU or group one DC, whether you check the OU or/ and group in Group Policy Management in the same DC?

If so, I suggest you can close Group Policy Management tool and reopen Group Policy Management tool to check the new OU you created.

Or maybe you have multiple, you can if check AD replication is complete on these DCs.

Hope the information above is helpful. If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou

I have 4 DCs, but so far only worked from one of them.

I just created an OU, then opened Group Policy Management. I closed and reopened. But the new OU didn't show there.

I replicated to the main DC, waited for a few minutes. It did.

Does this mean that despite the fact I use Group Policy Management on the same DC on which I create those OUs and Groups, they need to replicate first to the main DC in order for Group Policy Management to show them?
