I've searched around with no luck.
Is there a group policy option that sets multiple usable languages via the language bar in the bottom right (i.e Russian and English).
Googling it returns a number of threads from 2012 shouting PERFORM THESE REGISTRY EDITS. Though if possible, I'd prefer a built in option over directly editing the registry/running scripts.

How to change user rights from admin to standard user?
Hi!
I am working in a city with around 400 users and all of them have admin rights on their local accounts. We want to change that to user rights instead. I would like to know how to create a GPO that would make that change. I think the best way would be through GPO unless you have other ideas!
Thank you for your help in advance!

Group Policy Preferences Files size limit
Hi
I am trying to use GPP to copy some files from a network share to desktops. All the files copy except one which I believe is due to file size, however I can't find any documentation to suggest that there should be a size limit on files that can be copied - does anyone know if this is the case?
For info I am running Server 2008R2, Windows 7 Pro and the file is around 8MB. I get the following error message: Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070040 The specified network name is no longer available
If I use a file splitter and cut the file down to 4MB it copies, any bigger and it fails. Is this by design? Is there a way around it?
Thanks

GroupPolicy Event 1006 ErrorCode 49
Once a day or so I get the event id 1006 with error code 49 from the GroupPolicy client (Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2).
Event ID 1006 means "The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not authenticate to the Active Directory service on a domain controller. (LDAP Bind function call failed). Look in the details tab for error code and description."
And ErroCode 49 is "Invalid Credentials".
The account listed is sometimes the computers SYSTEM account and sometimes my useraccount. The same second or about a second after Event ID 1006 another Event is logged, ID 1500 or 1501 which means succesful processing of the Group Policy, again using the same useraccount.
Why does the client think my credentials are bad from time to time? Should I worry or is this just a "feature" to ignore?

Group Policy problems after Windows Updates
Hi All,
We've updated our servers on Monday, including the DC's. After updating everything successfully (as there we're a few that failed initially) we've now got a problem with the Folder Redirection policy. Here's the error we're getting:
An error has occurred while collecting data for Folder Redirection.The following errors were encountered:
An unknown error occurred while data was gathered for this extension. Details: FRSettingRead failed with -2147020590
I've tried searching everywhere for a solution, but couldn't find anything on this specific issue: "FRSettingRead failed with -2147020590"
Thanks in advance for any support on this...

AppLocker blocks App-V applications
Hello all
I have the following problem. I implemented AppLocker. When I try to open an App-V package on the client, I get the error that the program is blocked by poliy. The location of the app-V package is C:\users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\.
I tried to add the following rule to AppLocker: allow pathrule %username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\*. But AppLocker won't accept the systemvariable %username%.
Is their a other solution to allow app-v packages?
Thanks for the help.

Deployed Printers Keep Asking for Drivers
Hello,
My domain in Windows 2008 and for a couple of years now, I have been deploying printers through GP. I have printers that are on a print server and are deployed to computer labs. Standard users are constantly asked to update the drivers and cannot print until they are updated. I have to sign on as a local Admin to update the drivers. But the users still get prompted. I log back in and I see the same thing. I have to update the drivers again. I just did this to an entire lab last week and yesterday and today I had people that could not print. I deleted their profile and now they dont even have the printer listed. Why is it that they are always asking for drivers? The print server has both 32-Bit and 64-Bit drivers installed. The workstations are Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit.

Central Store ADMX files update recommendation for Windows 8.1
I would like to update the "Central Store" with the latest ADMX file to support test computer with Windows 8.1 Update.
The network contains Windows 7 on production and some Windows 8.1 Update are on a test phase.
In the following KB article :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917033
Microsoft recommend that you keep the central store with the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 ADMX templates
and use a Windows 8.1 like a GPMC console to manage GPO for Windows 8.1.
Why ?
Does anyone know the reason?
Is there any incompatible issue between ADMX file for Windows 7 and ADMX Files for Windows 8.1?
Regards,

Roaming profile & folder redirection
Hi
I am facing challenges in applying Roaming profiles & folder redirection on Windows 2012 Remote desktop servers. I am planning to use it for VDI.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. This error may be
caused by network problems or insufficient security rights. DETAIL - The handle is invalid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redirection options=0x1210.
The following error occurred: "Can't create folder "\\Share\user2\AppData"".
Error details: "Invalid Signature.
".

WMI Filter permission root\RSOP\Computer
Hi
I have a user folder redirection policy and only want it to run on computers in certain OU's. I've got this WMI query in namespace root\rsop\computer
Select * From RSOP_Session Where SOM = 'OU=Desktops,OU=Unit 15,OU=PH UK,DC=DOMAIN,DC=local' OR SOM='OU=Desktops,OU=Unit 16,OU=DOMAIN,DC=ph-hq,DC=local'
It returns false for machines that should be true. I think I have found the problem, and its that the standard user doesn't have the rights to read from root\rsop\computer
They can read from root\CIMv2 and if I put the user in local administrators group root\rsop\computer query works
How do I grant read permission to root\rsop\computer for standard users and would like to do this globally.

2012 R2: Confusing "Last process time" entries in GPMC
Have a server that did not update the WSUS GPO settings that have been configured three weeks earlier. "gpupdate /force" applied the new settings immediately. There is not any GPO error logged in the eventlogs of the server.
Trying to find the cause for this error without success.
But when checking a completely different environment, the GPMC console display confusing results as well:
Any advice, why the GPMC Console says that "security" in the example above is processed a week ago, but when clicking on "View log", the log tells that the next processing should occur 107 minutes later?
Thank you in advance for any hint.

Windows 8 / IE11 forget proxy settings applied by GPO on reboot
I've just about run out of ideas here on what may be causing this. I've toyed with policies quite often, but never ran into this problem before.
Windows 8 with IE11. While there are GPO's active on the system, the settings are kept free to alter by the user if need be. We use a proxy, so I'm required to provide the proxy and the exceptions in a policy to the PC's to make sure they work under normal conditions. I added a couple of settings in the GPP (Group Policy Preferences) with the correct settings, enabled these settings (green lines) and tested these on a test system. They work fine, I get my proxy settings pushed through.
Then we get to the rollout on the systems that are affected (not that many, just 10 accounts total, all in nearby rooms). I can run a gpupdate /force to reload the settings, and can confirm the proxy settings are applied properly. So the policy itself seems sound also on the workplaces it needs to be active on. Users still have the option to change the proxy settings on their own discretion, but that's exactly what we want to happen.
Now we run into the problem that when part of these PC's are rebooted, the PC somehow seems to decide the proxy isn't worth its time anymore, and kills all settings for the proxy back to default. Either that, or it just switches the proxy off. Running a gpupdate /force reapplies the policy and everything starts working again, but WHY is Windows 8 / IE11 adament about forgetting these settings?
The really maddening thing is that on a couple of PC's with Windows 8 and IE11 (and the same policies applied) it isn't a problem and the proxy remains filled in, as I would expect from GPO's. These include my test system, which makes me unable to replicate the problem and test locally.
I've tried enhancing the policy with using a forced wait for the network to become available) aswell as a forced logonscript run on boot instead the standard 'after 5 minutes'. Find these under 'Computer Configuration - Policy - Administrative Templates - System - Logon' and 'Computer Configuration - Policy - Administrative Templates - System - Group Policy'. Neither setting seems to work tho. I've also tried going with a Computer Configuration Startup script in which I just request to run 'gpupdate' with the '/force' as the switches. But this also seems not to do anything.
In short: Does anyone know why Windows 8 / IE11 falls back to something outside the scope of policies, while it accepts the forced policy update with the correct settings when 'gpupdate /force' is issued manually afterwards? And has anyone any idea what I can do to make sure the policy is applied regardless of what Windows 8 / IE11 thinks it should be?

Windows Firewall indound icmp packets drop
Hi, we have enabled icmpv4 traffic with a local firewall inbound rule in a gpo and we still having ping drops. Is there another value somewhere that we could disable in our setup. It seems like a protection coming from the windows server 2008 and for no specific reason it blocks the traffic.
The ping comes from a load balancer linux base machine. We have created another test rule that is opening all ports and all protocol coming from that ip address and we get the same behaviour.
We know if we restart the server it will let the ping go through again with no problem but for a relatively short period of time.
Carl R.
Thanks
