Group Policies are not applied to virtual machines as expected

Group Policy requires the virtual machine has line of sight and can communicate with an Active Directory (AD) domain controller. There are various reason for a virtual machine to lose communication with a domain controller. This article doesn't provide the steps to solve these communications issues. Once communication is restored, the virtual machine should process the Group Policy settings as expected.

Solution

Resolve communication issues between the virtual machine and the AD domain controller(s).
