Answer 1

Hi @ramin sa ,

The reason could be a corrupt registry pol file.

C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol

Renaming or deleting typically solve the problem.

You could check the event viewer to get more information about the reason.

Answer 2

Hi @ramin sa

Try running gpupdate /force followed by gpresult /h results.html to see if there are any errors reported, which might help to identify the issue.

Answer 3

Hi there,

Domain computers authenticate to the domain as do domain users. Windows requires the computer to log on before it can apply Group Policy to the computer.

As this occurs only for the first time when the the computer joins the possible resolutions include:

-Verify that the time on the computer is synchronized with the time on the domain controller. Account for time zone misconfigurations if the computer is configured in a time zone different from the domain controller. A time difference greater than five minutes between the computer and the domain controller may lead to the computer failing to authenticate with the domain. Force time synchronization against time service using command*******/resync.
-Restart the computer

Below threads discusses the same issue and you can try out some troubleshooting steps from this and see if that helps you to sort the Issue.
