Issue with applied GPO and GPresult

$

Hello Team,

We have recently applied a GPO that will turn the HT mode to disable state for "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260". but this was to be done on few models of laptop. We have done it by changing one of the registry value.

We used WMI query available in GPO to apply it to few models only. 

But now the issue is that we are not able to view this WMI query when we have the gpresult from the client machine. This gpo works as expected but the wmi query is not visible in gpresult is the issue.

Any suggestions please..... 

IE, Disable 'Automatically Detect Settings' Via GPO

$
0
0
Hi guys,

We have recently been having a small problem with IE, whereby the 'automatically detect settings' check box will get ticked - resulting in our users not being able to traverse our proxy server.

I use the User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > IE Maintenance > Connection to set up our proxy settings, however I can't see an option to explicitly disable the 'automatically detect settings' check box.

Is this located somewhere else in an admin template, or am I simply missing an option that is right in front of me?

Thanks.

Wireless global profiles

$

0

Hi Guys,

Is there any global wireless policy which can be implemented in AD. Currently we create a wireless profile manually on a new laptop and user's password is saved in that profile. But when a user changes his password he/she has to manually go in the profile and update the password. Is there a way to avoid that. There should be a way that the AD password should sync with the wireless profile. 

Thanks,

DN

Hi, this is my situation. Our DC is Win2008 SP2 x86 both Primary and Secondary. We have a requirement for all of our users. 

First is to add some list of websites to be excluded from pop-up, second is to add some sites in compatibility list.

So I added this sites in the following:

Computer Config>Admin Templates>Windows Comp>Internet Explorer>Pop-up allow list

User Config>Preferences>Control Panel Settings>Internet Settings>Internet Explorer 7

Not sure if I lack something but both of these policies are not applying in my network. 

Our IE version is 11.

Thanks

Deploy certificate

$

Dear all,

I have purchased a UCC certificate but the public CA provider no longer allows internal domain names to be used as one of the SANs. This means that if anyone trys to access the exchange 2010 server with its internal host name (ex01.local) the certificate the browser presents an error to say there hostname does not match the certificate, we know is safe to continue but this is also a nuisance for anyone using OWA. 

I know each user can install the certificate to their PCs local certificate store to stop this message popping up each time, however I was wondering if anyone has deployed the certificate via group policy to resolve this?

Windows 2012R2 servers NOT rebooting when configured to do so after installing Windows Updates

$

Good morning

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue where my Windows 2012R2 (other servers such as 2008/R2 don't seem to have this problem) servers do not automatically reboot after installing updates despite being configured to do so by group policy.

When viewing the update history on these servers I can see the updates were installed with some having a status of 'successful' but others having a status of 'pending restart'. The servers should have rebooted but haven't. Up until this round of updates they were rebooting correctly after installing updates. It doesn't make much sense.

Here are the group policy settings I have configured for one of the servers that will not reboot (all the other servers have the same settings except for the scheduled installation date.

Windows Server 2012 GPO Loopback Processing

$

I am currently in the process of creating a GPO in a Windows Server 2012 Active Directory domain. The domain and forest function level is Windows Server 2012.

In order to complete the GPO I need to enable the Loopback Policy processing but I cannot find the setting. In Windows Server 2008 it was found here:

Path: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy

Setting: User Group Policy loopback processing mode

Was loopback processing removed from Windows Server 2012 AD or was the setting moved?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you!

GPO WMI filters are failing

$

In Group Policy Manager when a WMI filter is created an error message is displayed:

Either the namespace entered is not a valid namespace on the local computer or you do not have access to this namespace on this computer.  It is possible this is a valid namespace on the remote computer)s).  If you wish to use this namespace, press OK.  Press cancel to choose another namespace.

I am signed on as the domain administrator.  This domain is Server 2012 R2.

The namespace is the common root\cimv2.  When the browse button is pressed many namespaces are listed.  The error occurs no mater what namespace is selected.

Even if the error message is ignored and the wmi filter is created.  For windows 8 clients, wmi filters fail even though they should pass.

Select * from win32_operatingsystem where version like "6.%" will evaluate to false.

This is happening on two Server 2012 R2 domains.

Has anyone seen this?  Is there a fix?

3rd Party Application Conflicting with Group Policy

$
0
0

OS: Microsoft Server 2012 R2
Domain Environment: 2012 R2 Functional Level
Test Server: Virtual Machine running on Hyper-V

We have been struggling to solve a problem that a 3rd party tool has been causing in many of our domain environments for the last 6 months, and I am hoping there are some GP experts here that can help us to improve our debugging to flush out the root cause. 

Overview: We are a software company, and we are using another company's application for our reporting module. This 3rd party company's tool (Pentaho) is utilizing PostgreSQL and Tomcat Apache - both are managed via a Windows Service we created. The application works well, but we have seen that when installed on domain joined machines with GPO's applied, there is a conflict with Group Policy client which causes major delays during reboots and problems running gpupdate/rsop.msc while the PostgresQL and Tomcat Apache services are actively running.

Behavior: If we have the PostgreSQL/Tomcat services running, we find that a reboot will cause a delay of upwards of one hour, and running gpupdate /force will hang indefinitely. If gpupdate /force is run while the PostgreSQL/Tomcat services are running, it puts gpclient into a bad state, requiring a reboot to resolve. Simply disabling the services and rebooting brings the system back into a healthy state and allows group policy to operate normally until we re-enable the PostgreSQL/Tomcat services. 

We have enabled all available debug logging in Group Policy, PostgreSQL, and Tomcat, performed xBootMgr traces, performed Process Monitor analysis, and Packet Captures, but we have been unable to pinpoint the cause of the conflict with GroupPolicy. We have also opened tickets with all other involved vendors to see if we can solve the problem from their side, but I would like to see if we can get a Group Policy expert to review our gpsvc logs to see if anything is obvious, or see if there is anything else we can enable to get more details in regards to what is causing this.

I have collected a series of logs and network captures - descriptions and links below:

1. Normal login with PostgreSQL/Tomcat fully stopped/disabled: Group Policy processes normally with no extended delays - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0yrkcky34pdnljb/normal_gp.txt?dl=0

2. Normal login with PostgreSQL/Tomcat running: Group Policy completely hangs for multiple minutes at various points with no explanation, and eventually completes - https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzzjewmuj5ga9y5/essence_gp.log?dl=0

3. 'gpupdate /force' run after login with PostgreSQL/Tomcat services enabled: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n4sobuaabs1f1li/gpupdate_fail.log?dl=0

4. Packet capture while the gpupdate /force from above was running - https://www.dropbox.com/s/xa1032bcgq9bmib/gpupdate_fail_trace.pcapng?dl=0

Is there anything obvious in these logs/captures that I am missing? Is there any additional debugging/tracing that we can enable to get further details about what is causing gpsvc to fail while PostgreSQL/Tomcat services are running?

Please let me know if there is any additional information that I can provide.

Connection Security Rule will not delete

$

I have a server that had a GPO apply to it, This GPO applied a incompatible security rule, now no other computer or server (domain joined or otherwise) can connect to it. Unfortunately the GPO has since been deleted  so the Security Rule is still in place and cannot be removed.

How do i go about deleting this security rule when the GPO is no longer present?

Also so you know, the server is the CA and as such cannot be just removed and rejoined to the domain, hope you can help.

 

Update:

things iv tryed:

Moved Server to new OU, removed membership of server to all groups, other than its primary group.

Deleted:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\History

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\IPSec

GPO for Redirection of Cached User Profiles when Slow Link is Detected

Running Windows Server 2012 R2

I work in a school environment and slowly migrating to 2012 R2 from 2008 R2.  Right now we have the kiddos logging in to the new 2012 platform using roaming profiles.  Everything works fine except we are getting a slow link detection on the 2008 file server (where GP on the DC says to store the user profiles) thus causing cached user profiles to be stored on the 2012 R2 machine. I would like to redirect this caching when slow link is detected to a different 2012 R2 machine with more storage space. 

Can this be done with GP?  Local or at the DC? 

Thanks in advance!

hello fellows,

i'm trying to deploy an msi-packaged program via gpo. by default, msi is run with system account on client computers. but the program needs to be installed with a local admin/domain admin account so as to work properly. i failed to find a way to assign such account to msi via gpo. can anyone share some experience? i believe this is a somewhat common scenario.

cheers
