Hello All,
I've been looking for an option to disable the language bar for all users with a GPO. The settings that seem to work with some people did not work me (I have tried quite a bit of suggestions I found online). This is supposed to be one of the easiest GPO setting
but I just can't find it. Any registry setting is also good enough, I'll convert them into a GPO.
Note: For windows8/Server2012
Thanks!
I inherited a kind of complicated AD structure.
There is an AGPM server in our forest root - AGPMServer.example.biz. The AGPM service is running as example\AGPM. If I log onto the server that hosts AGPM, I can connect no problem.
My workstation is in us.example.biz. I have AGPM installed on my workstation pointing to AGPMServer.example.biz. I had no problems connecting until a few days ago. Now I get the following error -
Failed to connect to the AGPM Server. The following error occurred: A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception. system.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException (80131501)
From what I can gather, this is an authentication failure.
us.example.biz ALSO has an AGPM service account, us\AGPM. I reset the password on this account shortly before I started having the issues connecting, so I am pretty sure they are related.
us\AGPM has 2 SPNs - AGPMServer/AGPMServer.example.biz/us.example.biz and AgpmServer/AGPMServer.example.biz/example.biz.
When I attempt to connect to AGPM Server from my workstation, it fails twice, so I think it is attempting each of the 2 SPNs.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get the authentication to work again? I haven't made any changes in example.biz or to the example\AGPM account. I don't know how to get it to connect again.
Any help is appreciated.
When I try this:
From the command prompt, type: FIND /I "Cannot find" %SYSTEMROOT%\Security\Logs\winlogon.log
It comes back with file not found, I do not have a winlogon.log file, I tried to change a registry setting to create the log, but still no log.How can I get this log file to help trouble shoot this error?
What started me down this rabbit hole was our Sonic appliance (Firewall, WiFi, VPN ) suddenly can not authenticate through the RADIUS server, it comes back with Authentication Failed, or ERROR: E=691 R=0 V=3.
I went in and ensured all the shared secrets are the same and matching, then I went to the RADIUS server to find any issues and this is when I found these certificate error. Not sure if they are related.
What can I do to get the WINLOGON.LOG created to help with troubleshooting? How can I trouble shoot the RADIUS Authentication Issues?
Thanks for any help.

This problem occurs when i enter this in the local Policy or in a Domain Policy.
The Problem also occurs, when i enter syntactic incorrect values in this Entry.
In a Domain Network this is fairly fatal !!!!
All Domain Computers have Connection Problems and we must reboot all Domain-Controllers after we found the Problem.
I have tested the isuue in Server2012,Server 2012 R2,Windows 8,Windows 8.1.
How can i enter an IPv6-Address in this GPO-Setting ?

IT Santos GmbHHello Everyone,
I am having some issues with the current project i am on. I need to replicate local group policies to all local workstation (100+) so i can launch a specific script at startup.
I already have it working when i manually create the policy via gpedit.msc on the local machines but when i try to copy the files/folders within c:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy to another workstation the policies do not apply! ( i am copying the folders, gpt.ini and Registry.pol files)
Running gpupdate /f on the workstation and multiple reboots did not apply the policies.
After the copy and reboots i can run gpedit.msc and it shows the correct policy setting i need, but it is still not taking effect.
I am finding that i need to go back into gpedit.msc and undo then re-do the settings, then the GPO was saved and gpupdate /f applied, then all policies in the set would apply.
The only thing i see differently is the gpt.ini files show different version numbers. Could this be my problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve this are welcome. thanks
Client computers- Windows 8.1 Pro joined to Windows domain
Three Windows 2008r2 domain controllers
Folder redirection is enabled for my documents, application data and desktop
Problem: Enabling UAC for staff through group policy causing network issues
This started with us trying to get Metro apps to work with computers joined to our domain. I think I have the apps working but after applying the new GPO's, logging in the domain users have limited connectivity, login scripts do not run to map network drives, DHCP is disabled, getting 169 IP's. You can't open event viewer or services, the programs just freeze up. The only fix is to reimage the computers and disable the new GPO settings. I have some test laptops only getting the new GPO, so I don't any other GPO's are causing the issue. Not sure what I'm missing?? I have tried varies settings with no luck.
Hi
I'm looking for a way to make my laptops users able to install their printers when they are at home. So it is not only having the rights to install network printers but home printers too.
I found this thread which is directly related to my problem:
I put the same settings and I still have the same problem: When it is time to install the drivers Windows 7 asks for elevated privileges.
I have put these settings on my GPO:
Computer configurations\policies\windows settings\security setting\local policies\security options\devices:prevent users form installing printer drivers ----> I configure it to "Disabled"
Computer configuration and user configuration\policies\administrative templates: policy definition\Printers\point and print restrictions ------> I configure it to "Disabled"
For a reason unknown it is still not working.
through GPresult I know that the GPO is in effect on my test laptop.
Do you have any idea why I still get the elevated privilege messages even if a GPO specify the contrary?
Thank you!

What is the difference between GPO backup and save as second question is how to import save as or backup GPO with examples of both scenario

Hello, I have been looking into why the majority of our computers have slow log in applying Computer Settings. I have done some simple testing, when i take the network cable out the computer flies into Windows log in page, so i am pointing my finger at network issues. I have done a gpsvc report and these are the errors, can someone assist on what the issue may be?

The Microsoft technitian left my pc on save mode and now I do not know how to go back to normal. Please help
Hi,
Here's the scenario:
In a Windows 2012 RDS I created two groups called RemoteApp users and remote desktop users.
These groups are defined in the collection for the corresponding RD Session hosts.
These groups are not included in any other group, but they are located under an OU -called Remote Users.
In the domain controller I have created a GPO named "Restrict access to root drive" which is linked to the Remote Users OU.
The GPO I selected is - "Prevent users from adding files to the root of their users files folder"
This doesn't seem to work. I have waited more than a few hours to allow the 90 minutes update, plus used the gpupdate /force
but when a user clicks on the RemoteApp (Excel in this example) then access to the C: drive (which is the root folder of the user's profile) is enabled, and the user can create folders and save files under C:.
I tried to run gpresult for the specific user but the GPO I created wasn't mentioned.
I thought this would be a straight forward mechanism, but somehow it looks like something is missing.
I have read about loopback and expanding, but not sure if this is what needs to be done, and if yes - I'd appreciate if I can get step by step instructions. Everything I found so far was VERY vague.
Thanks !
One more detail that may be relevant - the DC is a Windows Server 2012, and the session host is a Windows 2012 R2.
Hello
I have an active directory on windows 2012 datacenter. there is a domain on it. it works well.
Also there is a another AD on another location. there is another domain on it. also it works too.
there is a trust relationship between 2 domains.
I disabled an account on first AD server 4 days ago. and then my colleague who manages second AD, notified that started to recieve some errors from eventviewer and have an issue about their group policy.
the issue event as below;
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.
Event ID 1006
Event Source Group Policy
I think the concerning account was built on the second AD for a service. But we don't know how we can find the account on the second AD server in order to change it.
How can I fix the issue?
Thanks
Hello,
I've been scouring around the last few days and I've come up empty handed with an issue I'm having on a personal domain and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
I have a domain controller set up in a lab environment running Server 2012 RU with three computers and three users joined to the domain. I'm currently attempting to apply group policy via AD security groups but I've hit a dead end. I've created the users and moved them to a nested OU, we'll call it SiteA>Users. I then created a global security group called Control Panel Restriction and placed it in a nested OU in SiteA>Groups, and joined one of the users to the security group. I then created a group policy and configured it to restrict all access to the control panel and linked it to the SiteA OU. In security filtering I've removed the authenticated users group and added the Control Panel Restriction group.
The first time the user is joined to a security group it seems to work fine. If I remove the user from the group and run gpupdate /force, the user can once again access the control panel. From that point going forward, however, it's as if the user is never added to a security group again. I can add the user directly to the security filtering section of the GPO and it works, but it's like security group membership will not update anymore for that user.
Troubleshooting: I've verified the permissions of the security group for the GPO and made sure it has read and apply group policy access, I've created a test user and placed it in the Control Panel Restriction security group and policy applied successfully (once), so I know the group works. I ran a gpresult /r for the user and found the group policy IS being applied, but it's being denied through security filtering. In the group membership section of the gpresult report it indicates the user is only a member of the default security groups in AD, not the custom made security group, even though a quick inspection of AD proves otherwise.
Any advice?
Recently we hired a Technician to assist in supporting our attached Network Computers. However, after just a couple of months the Technician decided to move on. We have noticed that while employed the Technician logged on many Computers with his IT Assigned Network Account. This left behind the Technicians Profile on many of the attached Network Computers.
We would like to know if there is a process where we can use Group Policy or AD to scan all the attached Network Computers and remove the Technicians profile.
Thank you.
Microsoft releases Microsoft fix or MSI e.g. MSI will tweak value of registry so what is the difference if we deploy direct MSI via GPO and editing registry file? really i am not sure what is the logic since user and computer policies are more than 3000+ so we can use registry tweak policies as alternative of MSI? (which does same just tweaking registry key or adding Dword\string etc?)
Hi everyone!
I want to create a group policy in Windows server 2008 R2 to do the following controls on selected groups;
1. Disable the DELETE key
2. Disable the CTRL + X
3. Disable Right key of mouse
4. Disable Drag & drop operation through mouse.
5. Disable File & Edit Menu in folder
The objective is to create Group policy is to restrict the user from Deleting any file from local computer. This objective is not totally fulfilled by windows folder & file rights policy.
Thanks in advance.
