So I transfered all the files from one server to another that were also on different forest, all looks god using robocopy. I also tested it with adding the Desktop to folder redirection on that same GPO and it works good.
Question:
IF I update the path for "My Documents" folder redirection GPO, is that all it needs to be done? Or if you could tell me what would be best way to do this?
I know this forum has similar questions, but none of them have answered my problem so far.
Case:
My parents have moved to a new place, so they received a new modem with build-in wi-fi.
I had an old Gigabyte wi-fi-adapter, so I mounted it, and after some trouble I had the right drivers,
and the connection to the modem was established.
Their computer is encrypted, so on boot you have to enter a password to access the drive, and then Windows 7 Home x64 will automatically boot
into the desktop since there's only one administrator account on the PC.
The error pop-up is "windows could not connect to the group policy client service", and in event viewer I can see two errors.
First error Screenshot:

Second error Screenshot:

Hope someone has a qualified guess.

hi,
I have a Group Policy object (GPO) named gpo1,I need to create a new starter GPO
based on the settings in GPO1.
can I Run the New-GPStarterGPO cmdlet and the Copy-GPO cmdlet.
thanks.
I'm trying to use this WMI filter for our Windows 7 64bit machines:
select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where (Caption like "Microsoft Windows 7%") or (Version like "6.1%" and ProductType = "1" and OSArchitecture = "64 ビット") or (OSArchitecture like "64%" and ProductType ="1")
The reason there are three clauses is that we have machines in United States, Japan, and France. The first clause works for the United States, the second clause works for Japan, and the third clause SHOULD work for France, but doesn't.
I've run the query manually on the French machine using WMITest.exe (http://www.paessler.com/tools/wmitester) and it works. However, when I run a gpresult /r it shows that the GPO is denied due to the WMI filter.
Why is this happening for French computers only?

Hi,
I need to export a controlled GPO with a security group filter (deny - Apply group policy) using AGPM from the dev domain (in the same forest as the production domain). This controlled GPO export (cab file) then needs to be imported into a production domain by using AGPM. I did a test on this and in my situation, the security group filtering did not apply to the imported controlled GPO. I used the same user name for security group filtering in the dev domain and in the production domain, so the import process should recognize that the user exists in the source domain.
However, the security group filtering is not recognized in the production domain on the controlled GPO. Is this the default behaviour? Is security group filtering not processed when importing a controlled GPO into AGPM? Does AGPM not use migration tables as GPMC does?
Thanks,
Gunter
Hello
I have a server 2008 R2 (64) with Windows 7 (64) Desktops. In AD created myself a Brian user ID and log onto the server with Brian, I was defaulting to server c:\users\Brian.
I created a local c: a folder names \Profiles and created a \Brian under that to use \profiles\brian instead of \users\brian
Under the default domain policy I created a mapped drive H: \profiles\%username% and \profiles\Brian has permisisons
When I log in, I am defaulting H: to \users\brian and not \profiles\brian
I created a non-admin user account and it is using the mapped \profiles
Question: why does admin accts that log onto server directly use \users instead of \profiles, gpupdate /force did not change it
Thanks

I would appreciate if I can have assistance, I modified Default Domain Policy yesterday and accidentally added "BUILTIN\Administrators" into Restricted Groups.
# I was following below articles, I did not mean to make a change, but I guess I did it... :-(
- Restricted Groups Policy Settings
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756802(v=ws.10).aspx
Due to this change, all servers are not accessible with admin user account which we normally use for IT maintenance.
Fortunately, I still have a session with our primarily domain controller from yesterday, I tried to erase Administrators from the folder, but I got below error message and not successfully removing the setting...

Can anyone share some insight so that I can safely remove "BUILTIN\Administrators" from Default Domain Policy? It is a bit critical since we don't have any access to servers at this moment...
Many thanks in advance,
HI All,
I have Windows 2008 Std DC and installed the CA Role.
Configure the Default Domain Policy to following
Computer
Public Key Policies/Trusted Root Certification Authoritieshide
Propertieshide
Policy Setting
Allow users to select new root certification authorities (CAs) to trust Enabled
Client computers can trust the following certificate stores Third-Party Root Certification Authorities and Enterprise Root Certification Authorities
To perform certificate-based authentication of users and computers, CAs must meet the following criteria Registered in Active Directory only
USer
Public Key Policies/Certificate Services Client - Auto-Enrollment SettingshideCreate the Copy of User and Workstation template and set to auto enrollment.
This is set for Domain Users not for Authenticated Users? In GPO security filter is set to Authenticate users.
I just create the test user but he can get only workstation cert not user cert?

I have a query around disabling 8.3 filename creation via group policy in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment. I have made the changes in group policy, and when I check status via fsutil I can see that 8.3 filename creation is disabled with a status of '1' (disabled on all volumes - the setting I require), however the registry keys have a status '2' (enabled on a per volume basis).
Is there a reason why the registry is out of sync with the results of fsutil? I need the two to match up as we have compliance scans that check registry keys for settings in our environment, and on the below result in the registry we'll be marked as non compliant with the agreed settings that should be in place.
Thanks for any help.
I am completely unfamiliar with Group Policy - I have a Powershell script I've written that "builds" a completed image on Windows 7 64-bit PC w/Service Pack 1 and just the "Administrator" account to a completed PC image with other user accounts, applications, settings, printers, et al. Part of that script is to apply Group Policy, which was just handed to me by someone else to add to my Powershell script and I was given a couple commands to make it run/apply. To do so, I'm simply changing to the \Support\LocalGroupPolicyObject and then running the command:
UpdateLGPO.exe GroupPolicyUsersMaster
within my Powershell script. Now I'm having to switch to a Windows 7 32-bit PC and when that command tries to run, I get a message that it will not work on the 32-bit PC.
Is what I need is to have the UpdateLGPO.exe re-compiled for 32-bit? Or does everything need to be scrapped and re-done complete in 32-bit?
Apologies for what might seem like a daft question but, when upgrading AD (from 2003 R2 to 2012 R2 in our case), are the default GPOs updated or are the previous settings preserved? I ask as I would quite like to start afresh and am concerned that any settings that are no longer considered 'best practice' may remain in place.
Thanks in advance for any comments :)
Dear All,
I need a group policy for change time and date format for all user.
If I change date format and click apply and click ok and re-open then I see the date format did not change.

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?
Hi,
I have enabled the setting "Prevent Access to Drives from My Computer" to prevent access to C:\. Works Out of box. No issues.
However, after this is enabled it breaks the indexing & search on Start Menu when a User logs on. For example, after logging in as user search for anything under AllPrograms\Accessories alike Paint, Snipping Tool, etc. nd it won't turn up in search results.
I understand this is due to the Path of all these items being under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories folder, which is denied by the policy setting above. This path is included by default in the Indexing Options.
Any thoughts of working around this, for the indexing of these items to work while still preventing the user from accessing C:\ ?

Hi,
I have an OU which contains all the servers accounts. I have multiple GPOs that are linked to this OU but I have a GPO that contains only User configuration part witha script to map files. Requirement is that this policy should be applied when a groups of users logs on to a group of servers only.
If I add the required User group & required computer accounts to the Security filtering of this GPO, will it work good? Is there any other way that will give required result but with lesser GPO processing time.
Thanks
