I just ran gpresult on a vista machine, a win7 machine, and a win8 machine. On all three, the Default Domain Policy appears under "Applied Group Policy Objects", but then it ALSO appears under "The following GPOs were not applied because they were filtered out." The reason given is "Filtering: Disabled (Link)", but when I check the actual GPO it says "Link Enabled: Yes".
Also, on my win8 machine this policy appears under the "not applied" section TWICE. Meaning it is listed 3 times in gpresult.
What's up with that?
