I am looking to apply a GPO policy that inserts a registry key into an RDS/ICA session based upon a registry key setting on the client device. Is this possible when using registry targeting, or is that only able to look at the registry on the server the policy is being applied to? I am unable to use RDS Client Name targeting for this, and this is my next thought.
Thank you
I'm facing a strange problem - domain user accounts are not being unlocked.
These are the Account Lockout Policy settings: Lockout duration: 30 minutes Account lockout treshold: 10 invalid logon attempts Reset lockout account lockout counter afeter: 29 minutes (it was 30 minutes before and it had the same problem)
What is happening is that even after the lockout duration is expired (days since the lockout time) the account still shows as locked.
I'm already using the "Lockout Account Tool" and the tool doesn't show any new other Bad Password attempts.
Any ideas of what might be the cause?
Thanks!
Hi,
We have our users setup with Folder Redirection and Offline Files Syncronisation on Windows 7 Enterprise clients (x64). Server Side is 2008 R2.
The problem we have is that users Offline files sync is failing, but it looks like the machine is trying to Sync another users directory. For example, assumign I am 'userY' in my Sync Centre, the current status is 'Failed - Access Denied' and the folder states is "\\server\share\userX" where X is a completely different user to my account. This happens across the board and there is no consistancy for the username that appears to be being synced.
A couple of other points;
1. This particular user has not logged on to this PC so there is no profile loaded for them
2. I have Read/Write access to the Share AND the users Folder that Sync Centre complains about
3. While other users DO NOT have this level of access to the users folder, they do have Read/List access to the top level of the share and Full Control of their own folders.
Let me know if you need any more information
Thanks in Advance.

I wanted to throw our scenario out there to see if anybody has experienced the same thing.
We have several computers that are logging event IDs 1502, 4004, and 4005 in the Event Logs. It is about once a minute. I'm willing to bet you money that it is a MANUAL REFRESH. But, from where?
Here are the facts:
How can I tell where the manual refreshes are coming from? It's like a GPO Denial of Service attack. I understnad that GPUPDATE can be called through WMI or API calls.
How do I use network monitors to discover the origin!?
Hi,
I have c# .net windows application (vs2010). I am working on Active Directory GPO link and Unlink to an OU.
To link a GPO with an OU I used GPMGMT.lib and it is working below is the code
GPMGMTLib.GPM gpm =null;
gpm = new GPMGMTLib.GPM();
GPMGMTLib.GPMConstants gpc = (GPMConstants)gpm.GetConstants();
GPMGMTLib.GPMDomain gpd = (GPMDomain)gpm.GetDomain(strdomain, "", gpc.UseAnyDC);
GPMGMTLib.GPMSearchCriteria searchOBJ = gpm.CreateSearchCriteria();
searchOBJ.Add(gpc.SearchPropertyGPODisplayName, gpc.SearchOpEquals, strGPO);
GPMGMTLib.GPMGPOCollection objGPOlist = gpd.SearchGPOs(searchOBJ);
GPMGMTLib.GPMSOM gpSom = gpd.GetSOM(strOU);
gpSom.CreateGPOLink(-1, objGPOlist[1]);
But I am unable to delete link between GPO from an OU.
After searched in google got information saying add gpedit.dll which contains DeleteGPOLink method.
When I am trying to add reference it is giving me an error message saying
"A reference to C:\windows\system32\gpedit.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component".
Could anyone suggest me how to unlink a GPO from an OU with an example.
Many Thanks in Advance.

I need to replace a DLL.
This DLL is in use when the PC is started.
I have already successfully changed the permissions of the DLL through Group Policy
After the permission change: I have deployed the Group Policy Preferences to replace the DLL in question BUT it does not not get replaced. To test, i have added a character to the file name and the policy gets pushed correctly the file gets created or replaced. SO the policy works.
When i manually try to replace the DLL, i run in to DLL in use error. When I stop the service, I can replace the DLL.
So i am thinking, when the GPO runs to replace the DLL the service already starts and is unable replace because of that?
If thats the case is there a work around? How can I replace this DLL in mass? Would script be better?
Thank you much...
When I start Group Policy Managment on the Domain Controler I get a error message .(The system cannot find the path specified)
when I click ok it starts the mmc
when I try to edit the Default Domain Policy I get an error (Failed to open the Group Plicy Object. You may not have appropriat rights)
When I go to Browser and type \\xxxxx.local\sysvol\
I see a file that is called xxxxx.local it is not a shortcut it is jut a LOCAL File
When I go to \\the domain controller \SYSVOL I see the same thing.
however if I go to the DC, I can go to c"\windows\sysvol\
I see 4 folders (1.Domain, 2.Staging, 3.Staging area 4.sysvol)
and yes if I expand sysvol I see the same local file again.

Hi everyone
I need to create 3 different local group policy for 3 different User Group. eg. Office, Management, IT.
My steps.
1. mmc -> add/remove snap-in -> Group Policy Object Editor -> Browse -> Tab "User" (local user and group compatible with Local group Policy)
2. Then I can choose any user or pre-define Administrators or Non_administrators
...but where are the groups created by me? I mean Office, IT etc. How Can I apply Local Policy Group for my "own" Group ?
Thank you

Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent
No AD
We have a default user policy. In Group Policy Management when I drill down toUser Config\Policies\Admin templates and then "right click" I can then choose "Add/Remove Template" When I do this I see a list of .ADM files that are applied to this GPO. Where are they? When I'm in the Add/Remove Templates little window I only have buttons for ADD & REMOVE and if I choose ADD it does not bring me to where the .ADM files live. I know our ADM files are on different shares (bad practice I know) but there is one I need to find so I can add it to another GPO and I can't find it.
So how do I find where the GPO points to for it's ADM files?

I created a simple trusted sites GPO and applied it to an OU with me as the only user(group) to test. After setting up the GPO, I ran GPUPDATE /FORCE on my PC, then ran the GPRESULT /R to get the report info. The GPO appeared in the list of applied GPOs, but the website never was placed in the Trusted Sites location in IE 11.
Did I miss some thing?

If any scripts or GPO to UN tick - the check for publisher’s certificate revocation” in IE. so standard user does not have permission to check again not sure it can be done by GPO or registry method

What is the problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
We are facing a strange issue with GPO's. We have a parent OU named OU1 and a SUB OU named OU2. We have applied a GPO on OU1 with IE proxy setting defined as GPO1 and another GPO applied on OU2 with different proxy settings applied as GPO2. The GPO2 is enforced so that the users in OU2 should get the proxy settings specified in GPO2.
We are facing the issue with users in OU2 that they are getting the proxy settings from GPO1 which is applied on OU1. When I run RSOP I can see the proxy settings which is applied on OU2 which is correct. But the IE shows the address from GPO1 which is not correct. When I check Precedence tab of RSOP I can see that GPO1 is above GPO2 in precedence. Don't know how
I have checked from the GPMC console that the GPO2 is having high precedence (which is obvious as it is enforced) but still the settings are not getting applied.
I have tried gpupdate /force, rebooted the PC's. Deleted the GPO history from registry but no use. If I do block inheritance on OU2 then it works fine.
Please suggest if anyone has faced such issue.
Hi
we are working with a Windows 2003 functional level domain. It has 3 DC, one of them Windows 2003 and other 2 DC running Windows 2008.
The point is we have several group policies, and I think they are not applying fine. for instance my own user, if I run gpresult -v I see some items in the default domain policiy are not applied. It inform of 3 group policy objects applied, as it should be, but not every configuration is applied.
I checked if there was any inheritance blocked, but I did not find any. What should I start to check to find the reason it doesn't work.
Thank you very much
best regards.
David.
For example:
Only users belong to OU1 cannot access control panel when he log on to computer1 which belongs to OUA, how to do that with GPO?
The users in OU1 CAN access control panel when they log on the computers which NOT in OUA, and users who are not belong to OU1 CAN access control panel when log on computer1.
thanks.
