AD profile login script does not run the first time user logs in

[Johnny Sandaire]

Greetings:

I have a situation where the assigned AD profile login script is not
running after it is assigned to a user. I have a current script
assigned called LOG4.EXE. I created a new script that is called
LOG6.EXE that I assigned to about 1K people for testing. During the
test period, I get complaints from people that they do not see their
new LOG6.EXE when they log in, but, instead, they are still getting
LOG4.EXE. It is only after they reboot a couple of times that the new
LOG6.EXE script runs on the PC.

Is there a reason for this delay? Is there a cached mechanism that
prevents a user from running the assigned script after it is
replicated and visible from the AD Users and Computers Administrative
dialog?

Please advise. I am trying to understand what to do to get this
resolved.

Thank you and best regards,

Johnny

Hello Johnny,

Even if replicated the GPO is not direct applied for the user. Did you/the
users run gpupdate /force to reapply the GPO? By default the Group policy
refresh intervall can depend between 90 +/- 30 minutes without that.
