I have Windows 7 Pro workstation that was connected to the domain and I have since removed it.
However; remnants from the domain GPO are still being pushed or at least seem that way even after making changes to the local policy and rebooting, thus making open findings.
I really don't know what else to do to enforce these changes and I've even deleted and recreated, yet the policies keep being pushed down. Six of them.
I really don't know where else to check or try to enforce it.
I've recently added a new GPO to existing Server 2012R2 domain.
As previously the GPO was being tested we only had it linked to a few users. With testing now complete I removed the users and added the "WHOLE DOMAIN". Expletives....!!!
The problem I'm now experiencing is that nothing can be modified on either of the domain controllers with any of the domain admin accounts. The error "The Snap-In below, referenced in this document, has been restricted by policy" Click ok and the message "MMC could not create the snap-in". Also none of the MMC snap-in's are now accessible.
I believe life would return to normality once I remove the GPO linked to the “Whole Domain”. Is there a way to do this without having access to any of the management snap-in’s or possibly through Powershell?
Here's my setup:
Windows Server 2008 R2 - my AD and DNS Server
Windows 7 machine (vm) used for testing (and it's joined to the domain)
My own user account (for testing). I am in the domain users and domain admin group. I'm also in the local admin group on the workstation.
I have a folder redirection setup on a GPO (Documents only for now). Just to a folder on the server that is shared out. That GPO isn't be applied (denied actually) (I see that when I run gpresult.exe /h c:\report.html and review the report) and when I run gpupdate.exe /force, it'll tell me the policy wasn't applied and I have to log off/on to take affect, but that doesn't help either).
My GPO called Folder Redirection only has one policy in it:
Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)
Path: \\applied\HomeDir\%USERNAME%\Documents
Options:
Grant user exclusive rights to Documents Disabled
Move the contents of Documents to the new location Enabled
Also apply redirection policy to Windows 2000, Windows 2000 server, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems Disabled
Policy Removal Behavior Leave contents
Simple policy - nothing special about it.
When I view my application even log, I see:
Log Name: ApplicationNot quite sure what the "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object" means, but it could be related to permissions.
Going back to the server, I have a shared folder called "Homedir" and right now, I have it pretty wide open. EVERYONE is set full control. Admins are full control, Creater/Owner is full control - this is on the SMB and NTFS permissions well. Anyone on the network can access this folder. Same w/the sub-folder called Steve (inside the "Homedir" folder on the server). My user account on the server has (in the Profile tab): Home Folder section. Connect to Z TO: \\applied\Homedir\Steve (applied is the name of my server).
Aside from permission issues, I can't think of anything else. My permissions are pretty wide open right now - full control for anyone/everyone - including sub-folders. Not the ideal permission solution, but I'm just testing right now. Iv'e been reading many other forums about this issue, but no solution has worked for me.
It's that security ID thing that is my hangup right now. I think once I resolve this, it'll set me on the right course to get this folder redirection finished for certain employees.
Very strange, because I set this up for another client of mine - same server and workstations and GPO, and it worked right off the bat and I've never had any issues.
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I just loaded up a fresh copy of Server 2012 R2 in VMWare and made it a Domain Controller. To get a feeling of it before I deploy it.
All the Windows updates have been done.
Ran the Group Policy Results Wizard and got these alerts.
Default Domain Controller Policy Alert: AD / SYSVOL Version Mismatch
Default Domain Policy Alert: AD / SYSVOL Version Mismatch
I found that there is a hot fix for this for Server 2012.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2866345
But when I run the hot fix it tells me that "The update is not applicable to your computer"
So how do i fix this issue? Dont want to deploy Server 2012 R2 to my live enviorment only to have issues.
Hi All,
Need a help.
I need to enable "task manager show all show process" for all normal users(view like XP) irrespective of admin or not.
Can any one help me how to go about this through GPO. I searched a lot in net but could not found any convincing solution for this.
Hi,
I'm stuck at troubleshooting the group policy processing on a W2k8 R2 Terminal Server. On this machine the CSE Group Policy Registry Component is failing with ErrorCode 11. (I'm sorry but the editor does not allow me to insert xml yet)
I was not able to find any source in technet or msdn regarding Group Policy Registry ErrorCode 11 nor able to get any further debugging operable, that gives me more hands-on-details on this problem. Furthermore I was not able to determine the GPO causing the CSE failing, neither with RSOP nor Eventlogs.... With the group policy modeling wizard i just get "GP Registry failed" listed in Component State Overview with the subtle message "An attempt was made to load a file with an incorrect format."
How can i get to the bottom of this?
User Policy update has completed successfully.
The following warnings were encountered during user policy processing:
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Folder Redirection was unable to apply one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup or user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish completely before the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow startup and boot performance.
Computer Policy update has completed successfully.For more detailed information, review the event log or invoke gpmc.msc to access information about Group Policy results.
Certain User policies are enabled that can only run during logon.
OK to logoff?. (Y/N)
And then I receive the same message in my System event log.
And the following message in my Application event log.Log Name: System

If I log off and log back on, everything works still fine. Just untill I run gpupdate /force once more. Every time I run it it brings me those messages. I see no more errors or warnings. 'Microsoft-Windows-Winlogon/Operational' event log is completely empty. 'Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational' contains only informational messages with one exception:Log Name: Application

I have read just about everything on the web about drive mapping GPO and permissions and still having a problem.
I have a Windows Server 2008 Standard as the DC. I have a Windows Server 2012 that will be used for DirectAccess and File Server. On the Windows Server 2012, I have created a Data directory that is not shared. Underneath this directory,
are the folders to be shared. Each one is Shared with Everybody Read/Write Permission. Then each folder is disabled from inheritance and the actual Security Group(s) are give Full Control access and Everybody group is removed from NTFS Security.
NOTE: One Group has access to all folders.
On the Windows Server 2008, I created a new GPO called Drive Maps. There will be about 12 mappings in this GPO. They are set to Replace under Action, given the location of \\server\Share$, Reconnect is checked and a Label is given, then a drive letter is assigned and Show this drive is checked under Hide/Show this drive. Under the Common tab, I have checked Item-level targeting and selected the Security Group(s) that will have access.
The two issues are, not all the drives map for the users that have permissions to the drive(s). The second is if someone was smart enough to know the shares URL and was not part of the group assigned permissions to that share, can gain access to the share by entering the URL under Map Network Drive.
Not sure why the drives are not mapping when the user has the correct permissions for that share and everything is spelled correctly. And obviously to prevent them access to the Share, I would need to create a Deny group and add that to the share with the Deny option. Is that they correct solution?
Any suggestions?
Whenever users logon on remotely from home their default home printer is redirected which allows them to print which is fine. The only issue is that when they get back to the office, their default printer is now lost and the first one on the list of printers (Adobe PDF is now chosen as the default. It seems that the default printer reg. key from the remote session is being saved in their roaming profile. We also use Citrix to logon remotely and this is not an issue because Citrix has their own printer policy that prevents his from happening. Is there a log off script or a GP setting that can be used to fix the issue that I am having?
Thanks

RDS - server 2008 R2
I am running a PDC (primary domain controller) and a FDC ( fail over domain controller) on virtual machines. Everything was working fine until I moved them over to a new hyper-v server. On both server I am getting event id 1058 Group Policy. I am not able to do \\fdc\sysvol on PDC, however I am able to do \\pdc\sysvol on FDC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
My GPO'S were all in wonderful working order, I just imaged 30+ machines using the same policies with no problem.
Now I have to deploy more machines but the GPO'S are not applying. I ran gpresult on one of the computers in question and get the message under component status\software installation: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
As far as I know the permissions on the share have not changed. sharing permissions are: domain admins- full control. Everyone- Read access.
Security Permissions are: administrators (servername\administrators)- full control. Creator Owner-Special Permissions. Domain Admins- Full Control. Domain Users- Read & execute, list folder contents. SYSTEM- full control. Users- (servername\users)- Read& execute, list folder contents.
I could really use some help on this, spent the last few days smashing my head on my desk.

Hi everyone,
In order to comply to a security request, I need to prevent the client computers (win7) on a domain (win2008r2) from accessing other networks, with other words, they can only access the domain network.
Any way to do this by GPO?
Thanks in advance,
