Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents"

$

0

I know why the error is happening, just can't seem to find where to fix it. The old server (SBSHINGESVR) no longer exists after the migration. New server is 2012 r2. I've looked in GPO and thought I found the right spot (GP Management Editor\User Configuration\policies\windows settings\folder redirection\documents but don't see anything there pointing to the old server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ERROR:

Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents" to "\\HINGESERVER\Users\tfitzge\My Documents".
 Redirection options=0x9021.
 The following error occurred: "Failed to build the list of regular subfolders under "\\SBSHINGESVR\Users\tfitzge\My Documents"".

Removal of File Explorer, IE & Settings

Hi Guys

I am new to this and a will really appreciate some help with setting groups policies. I am trying to use Local Group policies so that the Windows user has no access to File Explorer, IE or anything else other than being able to LogOff. I have set some of the Group Polices and shown in the first picture but despite that, it is still possible to access various Windows Settings & File Explorer and shown in the other picture. If anyone can help, I will be very grateful.

Client Side Caching Not Functioning?

$

I've turned on Folder Redirection recently and noticed for those folders, the paths of the files IN those folders show the network location, not a local path. I'm under the assumption that means if the connection to the file server is lost, those files would become unavailable. I'm assuming this based on another network my company handles who is using Folder Redirection and their paths on redirection folders point to a machine local path. Below is the GPO settings I have regarding Folder Direction, please let me know if there's something I'm missing or if it's as it should be:

Computer Configuration\Policies\ADMX\Network\Offline Files
Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature:  Enabled
Configure Background Sync:  Enabled

  • Sync Interval:  5 Minutes
  • Sync Variance:  15 Minutes
  • Max Allowed Time Without a Sync:  30 Minutes
  • Blockout Start Time:  0
  • Blockout Duration:  0
  • Enable Background Sync for Shares in user selected "Work Offline" Mode:  Enabled


Configure Slow-link Mode:  Enabled

  • Value:  1ms
  • Path:  *



Computer Configuration\Policies\ADMX\Windows Components\File Explorer
Verify old and new Folder Redirection targets point to the same share before redirecting:  Enabled


User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
(These are common settings for Desktop, Documents, Contacts, Favorites, and Links.  All other possible redirected folders are not being redirected.)

  • Path:  \\DomainName\RootName\Redirect\%Username%\Redirected Folder (IE Desktop, Documents, etc...)
  • Grant user exclusive rights to the desknbsp; Disabled
  • Move Contents to the new location:  Enabled
  • Also apply redirection policy to Wink2, Win2k Server, WinXP, Win2k3:  Disabled
  • Policy Removal Behavior:  Restore Contents


User Configuration\Policies\ADMX\Network\Offline Files
Remove "Work Offline" command:  Enabled
Specify administratively assigned Offline Files:  Enabled

  • Network files that are always available offline:  \\DomainName\RootName\Redirect\%Username%

I guess I should also mention that the network is a mix of Server 2008R2 and Server 2012/2012R2 with Windows 7/8/8.1 clients.  DFS is also being used to replicate files across WAN links through a VPN tunnel.

Windows 7 Screensaver GPO

$
0
0

I know there are several questions like this, I checked those first but am still having a problem.

Using a windows 2008 domain, I want to force windows 7 pcs to lock with the screensaver.

I have Four settings set:
Force specific screen saver - Enabled, scrnsave.scr
Password Protect the screen saver - Enabled
Prevent changing screen saver - Enabled
Screen saver timeout - 900 seconds

I have proven to myself, that the policy is getting to the pcs in question. the behavior I am getting however is as follows.

If I right click on the desktop and go to personalize, the screen saver on the bottom right is greyed out, and says none. Screen saver will never go on.
If I turn the third policy, Prevent changing screen saver to disabled, I can see the settings the screen saver is using. The settings it has are correct, but the screensaver never starts. It still always says screen  saver - none, where it should say screensaver - blank.

If I take away the policy above completely, then manually change the screen saver to blank instead of none that windows 7 has as default. then if I reapply the policy the pc will lock as expected with the correct timeout and password requirements(except in the rare wireless mouse problem pc) And when you go to personalize from the desktop the screen saver says blank.

Is there any way anyone can think of to fix this problem so I don't have to go visit all these machines?

Windows 8 and IE10 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy

$
0
0

We have recently introduced a couple of Windows 8 computers in our network, and we are having issues applying the Internet Explorer Proxy Server settings.

We use a Microsoft TMG 2010 server as our proxy server for accessing the internet. We have been using a GPO with the following settings to automatically configure our Windows 7 computers running IE9 with the appropriate Proxy settings:

User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Connection/Proxy Settings

  • “Enable Proxy Settings” : Checked
  • “Address of proxy” : server.domain.local
  • “Port” : 8080
  • “Use the same proxy server for all addresses” : Checked
  • “Exceptions” : Here we have a list of several internal or partner sites that should not be proxied.

This GPO has worked beautifully for our Windows XP and Windows 7 users with IE 7, 8 and 9. Now with Windows 8 and IE10, this no longer works. I’ve therefore added a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller to the network, and using GPMC on that new DC, I created a new GPO with the following settings:

User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings\Internet Explorer 10

Now, seeing as these are preferences, it’s a little different.  But, I’ve “checked off” the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN” as well as “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”. Then I click on “Advanced” and setup all my proxy settings the way I would like them, including the proxy server name, port and exceptions list.

When this new group policy gets applied to my Windows 8 PC, the only setting that gets applied is the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”. It does not configure the name or port of the proxy server nor does it configure the exceptions list. If I go back to the GPMC, and edit the new GPO, the settings are all there. However, if I just view the settings from the main GPMC screen (without opening the GPO itself), I don’t see all of those settings (again, only the one “Use a proxy server…”)

What am I missing???

Screen lockout in 3 minutes but as per gpo it suppose to lockout after 30minutes

Dear All,

   I have deployed a GPO (windows 2008 r2) to lockout windows 7 screens if idle for 30minutes. But screen was getting locked in 3 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Following are the GPO settings

    Enable Screen Saver --  enabled
    Force Specific Screen Saver -- enabled but left blank
    Password Protect the Screen Saver  -- enabled
    Screen Saver timeout -- 30 minutes

Even I have tried to schedule task (lockout the screen idle after 30 minutes) through GPO

     rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation    

Similarly, it was getting locked in 3 minutes not in 30 minutes.

I have even disabled power settings.

Can anybody help me to fix this problem.

Thank.

 

GPO vs standard Install

I have applied a MSI Installation to my GPO but some of the servers have this error

"Software Installation did not complete policy processing because a system restart is required for the settings to be applied. Group Policy will attempt to apply the settings the next time the computer is restarted."

But if I ran a msi install on the machine then the machine wouldn't a reboot. 

I want the MSI to install on the fly , when the computers were on ?


Folder Redirection - Event ID 502

Windows Server Standard 2008 R2

Windows 7 Pro SP1 and Windows 8.1

Last week, it seems that Folder Redirection is no longer fully working.  I can see the GPO being applied to the users, but only the Desktop piece.  The "Favorites" section is not. 

When I go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", I see that the "Favorites" REG_EXPAND_SZ isn't there at all.  When I manually add it, and run GPUPDATE /FORCE, it gets deleted.  Weird, right? 

The Event Viewer shows the following:

"Failed to apply policy and redirect folder 'Favorites' to '\\<fileserver>\users\<username>\favorites'  Redirection options=0x1211.  The following error occurred: 'Can't create folder '\\<fileserver>\users\<username>\favorites'.  Error details: 'This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object."  

Also, the sharing/folder (NTFS) permissions haven't changed (as far as I know).  The user is able to browse to the UNC path just fine, and create/modify files and folders. 

So, I'm kind of scratching my head over here...




Firewall not registering logs when configuring in GPO Server 2008 R2

I kind of new to the windows firewall configuration and I'm trying to configure a Domain Controller Firewall logs to do some troubleshooting. The thing is that it configured in the default path for the logs in system32\logsfiles]firewall but the firewall does not register any logs at all. The file it is empty. I have search all over the placer and I found that the log file must have Windows Firewall service permission to be able to write to the file. I Windows Server 2008 R2 there is no such thing as the NT SERVICE\mpssvc so I have no clue at what else to do.

we have been trying to run an .EXE via scheduled task as the logged on user  %LogonDomain%\%LogonUser%   the .EXE is not running.  in the SC I have "start a program"  and then a clear \\PathToEXE\Folder\MyProg.EXE     This path is alive and I can run it manually from a CMD window.     I recall reading something on this but I can't remember what it was.   Does this work or does Windows 7 not allow this anymore due to passwords?

GPO to force users to use IE and not Chrome?

$

0

Hello,

We use Citrix XenApp 7.6 and from the start of the project we had users default to Google Chrome, which we now don't like in this environment as it takes up too much CPU/Mem when compared to IE11, it seems to open so many extra tabs "behind the scene" so we want user to start using IE.

We have set the user to be notified if their browser isn't IE, but can we make it there default.  It seems some user profiles what to keep Chrome as their default.

Thanks

Windows server 2008 R2

Hey,

I was wondering if there is a way to update JAVA on client computers through windows server 2008R2 without having to do it on all client computers manually? 

Structure: Domain (city), in that domain we have a group: The roof, part of that group exists of a folder computers (46) and  a folder users (113).

Now I want JAVA to do an update on all 46 client computers. Is that possible from te server?


Some New GPO Settings Won't Take

$

Hi all,

I have a few GPO-related questions/issues today. 

1. I updated some NTP-related GPOs. 
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Windows Time Service\Global Configuration:
All settings are default except the following:
MaxNegPhaseCorrection (1800)
MaxPosPhaseCorrection (1800)

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Windows Time Service\Time Providers
All settings are default except the following:
SpecialPollInterval (900)

So the GPOs appear in GPRESULT as expected as well as RSOP, but the updated settings do not appear in the registry as I would expect.  Oddly, if I runw32tm /query /configuration the times display properly.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why it isn't updating in the registry?  Is the registry omitted if the settings are specified via GOPO? 
These settings are for server hardening in relation to regulatory compliance, so it needs to be verified that it is set as necessary.

2. I attempted to rename the domain Guest account by using the following GPO:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Accounts: Rename
guest account

This fails for whatever reason.  Running RSOP shows a red error message on this item, and if I view it I am told to look up the winlogon.log, but unfortunately I do not find anything which pertains to the Guest account, be it by name or SID.

Does anyone have any insight they can share with me on these two issues?  Any insight that can be provided would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

GPMC stopped showing any links on all policies on Windows 8.1 admin workstation

Hey guys,

I have a windows 8.1 workstation on a Windows 2008R2 domain.  I was going through and cleaning up some old IPsec policies.  When looking through the policies I noticed some of these old policies were not linked to any sites, domains, or OUs, so I thought they were not in production and disabled them.  I then noticed that several were not linked, and then went through them all and noticed that none of my GPOs were showing any links.  Started to panic a little, but I restarted gpmc.msc and everything was fine.  The exceptions was the (3)IPsec policies that were disabled.  Has anyone ever seen gpmc.msc fail like that before were it stops showing any links for any GPO?  The security filters were updating as I was clicking through the GPOs, but they all showed no links until I restarted gpmc.msc.  My workstation is fully patched with WSUS updates each month.

Wallpaper via Group Policy and Windows 7

My organization has recently deployed Windows 7 Professional (RTM, VLK) to our two computer labs. Users who log onto these machines get a wallpaper that has my organizations name and logo, deployed via group policy. After the upgrade to Win7 Pro, the wallpaper does not apply correctly. I began troubleshooting whether this was a result of conflicting policies, but even after making a new user, and placing him in a test OU with only the wallpaper GPO applied, this still happens.

Registry value must match a "bitwise and" comparison to 1024

Making a computer secure, it requires that "Windows must be configured to block application execution if certificate server status is unavailable." The solution goes through a walkthrough of changing the registry to have the State value "match a 'bitwise and' comparison to '1024'". Tried multiple combinations to get it to work, to no avail. Any help on configuring this would be great!

Thanks!
