For some reason when I change group policy I have to reboot the xp machines for it to take affect. I thought gpupdate would change it immediatly or am I missing something. Also It should update automatically every 90 minutes. I let it sit there all day and nothing updates. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I already tried /force, it didn't do anything. I also checked the group policy that determines how often client check in. I don't know what else to look at.

you can use Microsoft Baseline Analyser to check which policies are actually being applied, this might give you a better indication of what or where the problem lies, there is a chance you have a conflicting policy somewhere -

Even if you use gpupdate /force there are still some policies that can not be applied until the user logs off/logs on.
I think things like startup scripts GPO settings would only run after a Reboot?
Do you have to reboot or is logoff/logon enough to get it to work? Maybe you could post up some of the GPO settings on here? -
