Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a GPP item.
  • On the Common tab in the Properties page, you select Apply once and do not reapply.
  • You select Item-level targeting>Targeting, and then configure settings for the targeting item.
  • The GPP object runs on a client computer that does not meet the conditions configured in Item-level targeting.
  • A user makes a change on the client computer and makes it to meet the conditions configured in Item-level targeting.
In this scenario, the GPP item isn't applied.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

This issue occurs because the computer considers the GPP item as applied even when the conditions in Item Level Targeting isn't met. As a result, an ApplyOnce registry value is set for the registry key of the GPP item. Therefore, the GPP item isn't reapplied.
