Hi,

I have a series of group policies applying to several OU's within our environment. Within it we have a Norton NAV managed client that is installed. Within one OU the NAV client gets updated with the Parent Server details, in another OU it doesn't. Different Group Policies apply to both OU's. I have confirmed that it is one of the machine policies OR one of the applications that are installed through the machine policies that are making this change, but am unable to identify what. The list of applications that are different in each OU indicate only things like Adobe, nothing that makes those sort of config changes, and looking through the machine policies that are applied, nowhere is there any montion of the Regisrty Key that is modified to apply the parent server to the managed Client.

So, how do I easily determine how this registry key is being written to a machine in one OU and not the other - can I do some sort of difference between the two machines and identify what made them different, or can I use a piece of code that watches the registry and then shows me what did the updating.

Confused.....

regmon is a good tools for monitoring registry changes

google it and see if it helps you
