I've seen it in both places USER and COMPUTER; but what do YOU say? Is there a "best practices" that someone can point to that explains the advantages/disadvantages of either?

Here is the error message from the summary.txt file:
Product Installation Status Product : Setup Support Files Product Version (Previous): 2047 Product Version (Final) : Status : Failure Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\Redist9_Hotfix_KB921896_SqlSupport.msi.log Error Number : 1260 Error Description : MSP Error: 1260 Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information, open Event Viewer or contact your system administrator.
I have already installed service pack 1 without issue and am not aware of any software restriction policies that have been put in place. I installed SQL Server 2005 recently with service pack 2 (on the same server) and did not come across this problem before so I am a bit confused.
This is a really odd problem because it happens to only some of the Windows 7 machines on my Domain.
I have two 2008 R2 DNS servers on the network, and all the client machines are Windows 7.
The error from GPRESULT is as follows:
Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components
is not available.
The Event ID associated with this is 1055 Error 5 (Access is denied). I'm not sure why the hardware is being denied access to the GP. But earlier today I wasn't even able to ping the PC via the network, even removing it from the domain and re adding it didn't help. I then proceeded to flush the DNS on the NIC and re register it, that's when the functionality of being able to ping the computer via name returned.
This only happens on the machine policy, not the user policy.
Normally I would not care, however I'm trying to move toward pushing all our software via GPO so that I can remove everyones Administrative privileges and stop people from installing bad software.
Thanks
Dear All
is that possible to get a notification when a user try to access a folder in a Domain controller?
the event log is showing N/A when adding the column user?
please is there any free tool that can audit all my domain and tracking user who are login on and off?
please help
thanks to advise
Dear All
please i need some help i m looking for a simple script that i could sent weekly to a reticent user on my domain.
in fact this finance user doesnt want to join the domain until he can be able to monitor and audit who has access and who is accessing is private folder.
I gave him ownership and special persmission to that folder so he will be the only one who can manage that folder and grant permission to others.
but on top of all that he would like to see who is accessing his finance folder with time and what he did like
create a new folder, delete a file
is there anyone who can help me with a simple script to audit that folder please?
Thanks to help
We have changed the Folder Redirection policy to move contents to a new location and it usually works on the first computer a user logs into (normally their desktop PC). However, when they log into their second PC (normally a laptop with cached offline copy of redirected folders, it does not connect to the new share location automatically despite verifying the policy is applied in gpresult command output. This is on the local LAN.
If I run the Group Policy Results wizard, and check the settings, the folder redirection settings for the documents folder is not listed as configured in any way. The laptop is still trying to connect to the old share location despite gpupdate /force commands and multiple reboots.
Sometimes it eventually works and sometimes it won't unless we delete the user profile from the Windows 7 laptop and have the user log in with a newly created Windows profile.
Is there a better and reliable way to all of the user's workstations to pick up the new redirected share location? Deleting local profiles will be drastic and labor intensive.

- i tested the same script as a logon script, it worked
many threads about this topic but couldn't fine any answer
We have an issue where items that are set with a machine's Local Group Policy Editorwithin the Security Settings area of Computer Configuration list asNot Defined when running a RSOP on the same machine. We also noticed this problem continued to exist when joined to the domain environment. Case in point, if there is a setting applied via the Local Group Policy, but not set via a domain GPO, when running a RSOP on that machine, instead of seeing the setting and the Winning GPO to be "Local Security Policy", the setting's value is listed asNot Defined. We've verified that even though it says Not Defined, the settings still take effect. In addition, for a non-domain joined machine, when we make any change to any setting that falls within theLocal Policies-Security Options, even after a RSOP, the setting doesn't display, but only shows within theLocal Group Policy Editor.
We have reset the security database to the Vista default, but the issue still seems to persist.... We are building our image with numerous applications, so we are trying to avoid beginning from scratch.
Suggestions to this frustrating problem are welcome.
Hello,
I'm trying to push registry settings via Group Policy Preferences to a group of Windows Server 2008 R2 to set dynamic RPC ports range, but I keep getting an error 0x80070005 Access is denied
The Registry Settings I need to push are these
Ports (REG_MULTI_SZ) 49150-49200 PortsInternetAvailable (REG_SZ) Y UseInternetPorts (REG_SZ) Y
these settings are part of a GPO which gets applied to the computers without problem. Only the registry part fails:
The computer 'Ports' preference item in the 'SQLServerGPOV {A9BB3E68-6275-44BC-A982-E6F8B3B02C26}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
The computer 'PortsInternetAvailable' preference item in the 'SQLServerGPOV {A9BB3E68-6275-44BC-A982-E6F8B3B02C26}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.

Security filtering is set to Authenticated Users and Domain Computers like other GPOsI have tried Diagnostic group policy logging, but I do not see the reason of this error. Log is on pastebin HERE
Hol,
Tengo windows server 2008 r2 y no encuentro el siguiente parametro prevent users from using windows installer to install updates and upgrades,
O para ver ese parámetro es necesario hacerlo desde Windows 8 y con herramientas administrativas?
Es igual Prohibit patching que parametro prevent users from using windows installer to install updates and upgrades,?

I trying to run a PowerShell inventory script on system startup on all servers in a particular OU. All servers (including DCs) are 2012 R2. I've got the GPO linked-enabled to the OU in question and I've added every server in that OU to the security tab of the GPO--all have Full Control. No WMI filtering.
I created the GPO as usual with GPMC: Comp Config > Windows Settings > Scripts > Startup
I tested the script from one of the servers locally and it works fine. But on startup... nothing.
The GPO is set to run a vbs script that calls the PS script. Both the vbs script and the PS script in this directory:
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\my.domain.com\Policies\{GUID}\Machine\Scripts\Startup
Here's the vbs script:
Dim objShell
Dim cmd
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
cmd = "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -nologo -noProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File \\my.domain.com\SysVol\my.domain.com\Policies\{GUID}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\inventory.ps1"
objShell.Run cmd,0If I launch the vbs script locally from a server, it runs like a champ. Why doesn't it run from GP on server startup? I've tried adding a delay but no luck...
Windows server 2008 R2 sp1, windows 7 64bit workstations
earlier i was figuring out why my gpo updates are not being received but as it turned out, they are but very slow. like one workstation received the new proxy settings 4 days later. the others are receiving only partial gpo info.
is there a way to know (like traceroute) why gpo replication to workstations are taking too long?
I have more than 200 GPOs on the AD DOmain
Half of the GPos were created by sveeral different people or are owned by the domain admins
How can I change all of then, to a new owner, using the more "quick and easy" method?
there a tool/utility for that? (like icacls.exe/subinacl.exe?)
There is a VBS function or PS cmdlet?
We use WSUS to deploy updates on all workstations, however, when windows 8.x users sign on, they can still receive the message "Important Updates are available. Run Windows Update...." which of course they can't.
How can we use GP to prevent that message from being displayed at sign on? Thanks.
Hello Guys,
How to change local computer password in a domain environment after Microsoft Gpo patch update, which now restricts changing of password using GPO.
Many Thanks

Hi Guys,
There is a firewalled server but it is connected in the domain so you can login with your normal domain credentials. Thought it is a firewalled server.
Now the issue is, there is one domain service account added in the Administrators Group of the server which allows you to do some daily task on server. But when i m tryin to login via that domain service account i get the below error:
"The Group Policy Client Service Failed to Logon"
Access is denied
Any help, will be highly appreciated!
Hello,
I have windows server 2008 r2 and I find the following parameter Prevent users from using windows installer to install updates and upgrades,
Or for that parameter is necessary to do so from Windows 8 and administrative tools?
Prohibit patching is equal to parameter Prevent users from using windows installer to install updates and upgrades,?
Thank you
As part of Windows 8.1 ModernUI there is access to "PC Settings" seperately from the Control Panel. I want to deny access to _some_ of these, in a similar way to denying access to _some_ of the Control Panel items. The only GP setting I can currently find disables access to the whole thing _and_ the Control Panel, which is not what I want to do.
Is there any way to deal with these settings on a case by case basis?
