Group Policy Patch MS16-072– “Breaks” GP Processing Behavior
One of Microsoft’s latest patches changes the security context of GPO processing for the user policies. This is a new ‘feature’ not a bug, its a new way of securing GPO processing.
You can read Microsoft’s KB on it from KB316622
sdmsoftware has a powershell script to automate the security change for you.

Not what I wanted to be working on today. We will be patching this weekend.
