Quickie: Get Group Policy Preferences to Reapply
Group Policy Preferences are great. It's nice to pre-set things for your users and know they can change it if they have a need.
This is a PITA to test though, as you can't re-apply the preference to your test machine.
Here's the fix.
Open up the regkeys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Group Policy\Client\RunOnce
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Group Policy\Client\RunOnce
The GUIDs of the applied GPOs will be recorded here. Delete them and reboot. Viola, your GPPs will reapply like magic.
