The Active Directory servers are outside of the firewall. All the systems that are behind the firewall are not updating with AD group policies. They are giving the following error:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event ID: 1054
Description:
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. (An unexpected network error occurred. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

1) Turned on verbose logging for Group policy by - enable user environment debug logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221833)
ReplyDelete2) Discoverd from the log that the pings were not getting through. (Yes, the firewall is blocking ICMP echos back through firewall).
3) Ultimately, the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910206 solved it for me. Turning off slow network detection worked.
It is just a pain that I'll have to add to each system manually before group policy processing will work. Luckly, it is only a few systems.
