I am trying to locate a group policy deployment issue I have.
The problem is that domain related GPO's are filtered out. We renamed our domain lately from: CONTOSO to: lan.CONTOSO.com
(Netbios name is: CONTOSO
and unchanged).
I started to investigate, and the first sign of problem is when running BGinfo - we still see in the LOGON DOMAIN and MACHINE DOMAIN: CONTOSO
and not what I would think I want to see: lan.CONTOSO.com
If I run : GPresult, the domain I see is: lan.CONTOSO.com (as well as correct DC, OU values)
- This error is all over the computers (including the DC)
So: what should I see in the BGinfo report? and how to fix it, if it's wrong.
EDIT:
Here are : gpresult /h results

Here is the UserDnsDomain on computer
C:\Users\user.admin>echo %UserDnsDomain%+
LAN.CONTOSO.COM+
The GPO I refer to is not even shown in the list: It's a logon script, which is a user configuration value.

I think here lies the problem, my username is defined as: CONTOSSO\user
and user container as: lan.contoso.com\contoso_users.
The GPO I need is not shown either.
Problem lies maybe in the Netbios name? Cached value ?
