  Hi. not sure if this is in the right part of the forum, if not maybe someone can move it.
  
  As we are a big corporation with a lot of different sites I have made a script that simplifies the linking and enabling of GPO's for OUs.s 
  
  A few times this script has failed on a one type of OU's, the "newly" created ones.. even the ones that has been in our AD for a couple of weeks can have this problem. This is the error that my script give me: The directory property cannot be found in the cache.
  
  here is a small part of the script that failes:
  
  Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://" & strOUDN)
  strGPLink = objOU.Get("gpLink") <- it failes here
  objOU.Put "gpLink", strGPLink & "[" & strGPOADsPath & ";1]"
  objOU.SetInfo
  
  Now the thing is, when I run this on our management server it failes.. then I go to my client and run the script and it runs OK.
  
  The I go to the server again and run it on another sub OU in the same problematic OU, but before I do that I manually link a GPO to that OU and then I run my script and voila! it works..
  
  Is the problem like the description says? The directory property cannot be found in the cache. is the local cache on the server/computer unsynced with the rest of the AD(if there are any?)  is one of the many DC unsynced and miss the information? why does it start to work after I "trigger" the OU manually?
