INTRODUCTION
This article contains information about how domain clients that are running Microsoft Office Groove 2007 and earlier versions of Groove schedule the retrieval of policy updates from the Groove Management Server.



MORE INFORMATION
Managed installations of Groove periodically contact the Groove Management Server to request policy updates.

In Groove Workspace 2.1 and in Groove Workspace 2.0, each client contacts the Management Server when the client comes online. Each client then contacts the server every 30 minutes thereafter. This communication causes too much traffic for some large Groove domains. In order to reduce the volume of traffic between the client and the server, Groove Workspace 2.5 introduced an automatic polling interval of five hours. The starting time of the five hour polling interval is staggered among the clients in a domain.

After you log on to Groove and you are online, you may not receive new policies for five hours.

Similarly, certain global or group domain changes, such as relay server reassignments, domain name changes, and group name changes are applied to accounts over a distributed period of time. Therefore, these changes may not be immediately available to all members.
