Custom lock screen GPO not working for domain users
I have a WS2012 standard server with W8 Pro clients. I'm trying to force the lock screen to a .jpg however it's not working, it leaves the users with just a standard blueish screen.
I have the "force a specific default lock screen image" enabled with the path \\MRS-DC\WP\mrc_lock_screen.jpg
The GPO is being applied according to the results wizard, however no image. What gives?
group policy help.
Mixed Windows 2003, windows 2008 and windows 12 DCs
We have one group policy which applies to user configuration. Now, we do not apply this group policy to users when they logon to our Virtual desktops.
Is there a way to do this since the policy applies to user configuration?
Thank you very much!

group policy issue --strange
We have 3 domain controllers--windows 2000 function level. Not sure whether the replications synch set up correctly.
If I log in another domain controller dc3, I don't get any policy applied to my user account. If I login one primary domain controller --dc1 as the authentication DC, I get the policy applied to my acct.
I did gpresult /r showing group policy was applied from dc1 , group ploicy slow link threshold :500kbps
the following policy is not applied , they are filtered out
default domain policy, local group policy.
If I do set logonserver, I logged in dc3.
GPO only applying User Configuration settings
I have 2 OU's containing computer objects and 3 GPO's linked to these OU's. One OU for the student user accounts, one for the faculty user accounts, and one for the IT Department user account. You can see this in the image below:
You can also see in this image that I have the Security Filtering set so that the GPO only applies to the respective Security Group. These Security Groups have Read and Apply Group Policy permission settings. When I log in as one of the student users and run gpresult /z I get the following:
Applied Group Policy Objects ----------------------------- N/A The following GPOs were not applied because they were filtered out ------------------------------------------------------------------- Local Group Policy Filtering: Not Applied (Empty) Default Domain Policy Filtering: Disabled (Link) Policy Refresh Settings Filtering: Not Applied (Empty) The user is a part of the following security groups --------------------------------------------------- Domain Users Everyone BUILTIN\Users NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE CONSOLE LOGON NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users This Organization LOCAL Students Medium Mandatory Level
It sees that the user is a member of the Students group, but it doesn't show the Students Configuration GPO at all. When I log in and look at the settings on the computer, the pop up blocker settings are set correctly (User Configuration), but when I go to look at any of the Computer Configuration settings they are not there. It's only applying the User Configuration settings. When I try to log in under an IT Department user the same thing happens. Any ideas what might be wrong?
I really need to get this working as some of our software requires some Firewall permissions and out IT Department needs the Restricted Groups feature to work so they can work on the computers when they go out to each Department to do a work order.
Can't modify disable Enforce user logon restriction at a Main domain controller however is possible to disable via a Member of of Domain Controller and why?
I configured a Member of Domain Controller and I went back to the Main Domain Controller and open gpedit.msc in cmd and try to disableEnforce user logon restriction radio button but is gray-out, however when open a gpedit.msc in aMember of Domain Controller I can disable the Enforce user logon restrictionradio button. so why?
Regard,
Thanks.

Item Level Targeting to determine WTG using collections
Trying to do something that I'm not even sure possible. I work in a very large corporate environment and we cannot apply WMI filters to all of our users. The impact would be too high to the domain controllers as we have over 150k users
accounts.
I'd like to set a user side registry setting to only Windows8ToGo devices. The only way I know how to identify a WTG is by using a WMI query.
I thought by using ILT I could first pair down the collection by OS so I use Windows 8 for that and then nest another collection inside that one that does my WMI query.
Collection is True
- OS is Win8
AND This Collection is True
- WMI SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE PortableOperatingSystem=True.
This actually works great. But what I thought would happen is that it would run the Win8 OS test first and NOT attempt the WMI query on lets say a Win7 box. But I turned on GPO logging for preferences and in the User.log I'm seeing it test the OS and "Fail" and yet it runs the WMI anyway.
I'm looking for an equivalent of a nested IF where it would not process the WMI at all if it tests false. I even tried reversing the nesting thinking that it would process the inner most collection first like in an algebraic expression.
The part that puzzles me is that if it works just the same as if i had put the 2nd collection at the same level as the first, whats the difference in putting it under it?
Thanks in advance!

Problem with deployment of a firewall gpo policy
Hello,
I want to create a local IPsec tunnel. I have created a "Gateway-to-client" rule in my Windows Server gateway firewall, and on a client pc I have created a "Client-to-gateway" rule. The tunnel works, I have an active association when I tape in cmd : "netsh ipsec dynamic> show all".
Now, I want to deploy the "Client-to-gateway" rule with a GPO for all clients. All is working, the rule is properly deploy on my client with a gpupdate, and have now two rules :
- The tunnel rule I created before (which work when I enable it, but it is disabled)
- The tunnel rule deployed with GPO (which is enabled).
The configuration of both rules are exactly the same... but it doesn't work ! :'(
Thanks for help!

How allow gpo deployment in the firewall ?

Thanks !
GPO and Service SID?
Hi, I'm a DBA installing SQL Server 2012. SQL Server setup is creating service SIDs (e.g., NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER, NT SERVICE\MsDtsServer110, etc.) and granting them rights (e.g., SeServiceLogonRight, SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege, etc.).
Our GPO is removing rights from the service SIDs created by SQL setup. We have been unable to add a service SID to GPO. I think there is an error that the account does not exist. We can add just the name (e.g., MSSQLSERVER, MsDtsServer110, etc.), but this does not seem to work as rights on the service SID are still removed.
We did add NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES (no error) and grant it SeServiceLogonRight. I think this covers all service SIDs. This appears to be working; however, I’m reluctant to grant some of the other rights to all services using service SIDs.
Are only “well known” service SID values valid in GPO? Is there any way to add a service SID such as "NT SERVICE\MsDtsServer110" into GPO? Is there a best practice for handling service SIDs and group policy?
Thanks.

Mapping drives for RemoteApp users solely on a 2012 Remote Desktop Session Host Server
I have a RemoteApp deployed to desktops for users of an accounting application in my company. We're trying to make it so that users of the remoteapp have access to a drive q: that maps to a resource on another server.
I have created a GPO, linked it to a security group that contains the Remote Desktop Session Host server and the Domain Users group, and created a logon script that maps the needed drive however it is not appearing for RemoteApp session users following a gpupdate. I've been out of the game for a while so I think there is something that I'm missing here. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Is it possible to set "Configure target subscription manager" policy setting using environment variables?
I would like to set every client PC to forward certain events to their authenticating DC.
I am trying to track logon events by having all workstations stations forward events to the DC they are currently authenticated to and then have every DC forward these events to a main event collector.
Is it possible to set the value in the "Configure target subscription manager" like this somehow: "Server=%logonserver%".
The only alternative would be to link a different GPO to every site and manually specify a server in each site to forward the events to.
IE, Disable 'Automatically Detect Settings' Via GPO
We have recently been having a small problem with IE, whereby the 'automatically detect settings' check box will get ticked - resulting in our users not being able to traverse our proxy server.
I use the User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > IE Maintenance > Connection to set up our proxy settings, however I can't see an option to explicitly disable the 'automatically detect settings' check box.
Is this located somewhere else in an admin template, or am I simply missing an option that is right in front of me?
Thanks.

Enable Prevent access to drives from My Computer but allow access to specfic folders
Hi,
I would like to use the Prevent access to drives from My Computer policy to stop users from browsing the local c drive but enabling this policy stops users being able to access the My Sharepoint Sites from within Office 2007 applications. Is there anyway to stop users browsing the c drive but still allow access to My Sharepoint Sites which is stored in the users profile on the c drive
