GroupPolicy/Registry issue
what you can do in the first case, just create a new UO and block all GPO, put your host in that UO and see without GPO if your computer still have the issue. From there, you can put 1 GPO at the time and you will see who goes wrong with your host.
Thank you for the suggestion. So I created a new OU, blocked GPO inheritance and moved a test host into the OU. I deleted every key under Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects the rebooted. I logged into the host as a local user to keep any domain user GPOs from being applied, and when I checked the registry, there were 2 new keys. I rebooted, logged back in and checked to find 6 total keys. I rebooted a 3rd time and there were still just the 6 keys. I waited a bit, rebooted again and found a total of 10 keys in there. Then I let the host sit for a couple hours and now there are 16 keys. Even with block inheritance enabled, GPOs are being created in the registry. Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks
