Loopback Processing Permissions after MS16-072

$
0
0
Can someone tell me the proper way to apply permissions to loopback processing GPOs using groups containing computers? I've installed MS16-072 on some computers for testing and I've got most of my GPOs working. I'm only having issues with GPOs that use loopback processing. The GPOs are being used to lock idle computers. I've got a few different policies doing this (at 15 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours) for specific groups containing computer objects, but they're not working any longer on the test computers with MS16-072 installed.

Group policy is not applying

$
0
0

I have some group policy objects that are not applying.  It seems they are being filtered out rather than denied, but I cannot figure out why.  The idea is that slightly different settings for the same application need to be applied on a team by tream basis, so I have created slightly different sets of registry keys and set them up as GP objects. I have then removed 'Auhthenticated Users' from the security filtering, and added in the relevant team for each object. When I run the Group Policy Results for a user that I know is in the applied security group, the GP object does not appear in either the applied or denied group. If I add the 'Authenticated Users' back in to the filtering, the object gets applied to the user correctly, but it would also be applied to all other users. I have tried enforcing the policy, with no effect. I have tried moving the policy to different places in the tree, and I have tried creating new security groups under the OU that the object is applied to, again with no effect. I am now out of ideas. Does anyone have any thought on why this is not working??

Many thanks

Security Filtering on Users or groups are Inaccessible

Hi,

In a first time sorry if my english is not perfec.

Since the last week we have a strange problem with the some GPO’s, in one time, without modification, they were no longer applicable.

It's only for some GPO’s with a security filtering on a group or User who has the problem, when we put a Computer or « Authenticated User » there are no problems.
On the workstation after a GPRESULT my GPO is in « Denied GPO’s » :

{BB1E4A7B-C46A-4C0D-B86F-3DC386739557}    *****/Structure/07 Démographie/Users    Inaccessible


The name of the GPO is replaced by the ID.
The security permissions are correct on the sysvol folder ([DOMAIN]\SYSVOL\Policies\{BB1E4A7B-C46A-4C0D-B86F-3DC386739557})
In the event viewer, on the DC or on the workstations, we don’t see any errors.
I’ve activated the debug mode of the Group Policy Service, in the log :

GPSVC(194.254) 21:03:48:946 EvalList: Object <cn={BB1E4A7B-C46A-4C0D-B86F-3DC386739557},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=****,DC=**> cannot be accessed

I moved my GPO in the root, just in below of my domain name to see if it’s not an inheritance problem and I obtain the same symptom.


AGPM and MS16-072 - Security settings are not imported / deployed.

$

MS16-072 describes that if you are using Security Filtering on your GPOs, then "Domain Computers" must be granted READ access on the GP objects. Now, this is easily done via Powershell.

My plan was this:
Make sure all GPOs in AGPM are checked in and deployed, run Powershell and change security settings on all GPOs, and then do a mass import from production into AGPM.

However, after the mass import, I discover that the new security setting has not been imported. All GPOs in AGPM are missing the "Domain Computers" with READ access. 

If I deploy a GPO from AGPM, one that has recently been imported from Production, the "Domain Computers" READ access is gone when I double check production.

This means that every time we deploy a GPO from AGPM, we must always remember to add "Domain Computers" afterwards..

Is this the way it is supposed to be done from now on?

Block Inheritance not working

$

Hi There,

For some reason, Block Inheritance is not working on OU.

Details:

I have a OU called "Sydney" where I have applied a Proxy setting policy, this mean, this policy will apply to all OU under "Sydney" OU. Now, I have another OU called "IT Test" which I have blocked from inheriting any policy which is applied to "Sydney" OU. Now, I am modifying the policy which is applied to "Sydney" OU and trying to apply that modified policy to "IT Test" OU only but for some reason, main Policy which is applied to "Sydney" OU is kept applying to "IT Test" OU. Not sure why. I have Blocked Inheritance on "IT Test" OU but still it doesn't make any difference and doesn't want to apply the policy which I have applied to "IT Test" OU only.

Older policy is applied through Registry and new modified policy is also applied through making change to registry files (Just some details are changed) but still I can see old policy is being applied. I am trying this on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Could I please have some assistance?

Below are images:

No Policy applied on Computer Level:No policy applied at Computer level

Still below gpresult /r shows policy applied on Computer Level:

Also, below image shows, policy is configured on User Level

But below image shows Proxy Setting policy has been applied but this policy is blocked from inheriting to IT Test OU:

Below image shows, intended OU is Blocked from inheritating Policies, still it for some bizarre reason, inheritances top level policies:

 

Many thanks

Group policy server 2008

Hi All,

I am trying to create a group policy for screen lock for our domain computers. I created an OU, put a specific computer to that group. Created a GPO (desktoptest). But on right clicking the GPO, I see this only one item under "Linked Group policy objects". However, I do see all my group policies under the "Group Policy Inheritance". On clicking desktoptest GPO, the location is the OU I created, enforced, link enabled and the path is parent domain/OUname

I applied my GPO, and when I ran the GPO Wizard result, I see other policies taking preference, even though my "Linked Group Policy Objects" has only one item? Also the summary under the Group policy results, show the following- Applied GPO and Denied GPO but I do not see the desktoptest as applied or denied.

Can someone please help?

Thanks.


Windows Defender on Windows 10 Ignores GPO Settings

Can anyone shed any light on why Windows Defender on Windows 10 Pro ignores all it's group policy settings?

I'm trying to set the definition to check for updates every hour and to schedule a quick scan, but it just doesn't seem to want to do either.

I've checked the RSoP and they are applying, but just being ignored.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

When I change my LAN to WIFI network - whether group policy will get apply automotically

$

Hi Techies,

Need suggestion, the requirement is whenever the users switch the network from LAN to Wifi network or LAN (x) subnet to LAN (y) subnet.  Whether windows by default refresh the group policy (User and Computer configuration)

Or

We will have to forcefully do gpupdate /force manually. (Restart or Logoff the computer)

Please suggest. What is the best way to forcefully apply the group policy automatically when there is network change detected.  

Note : User may be in slip mode / hibernate mode or active when there is network change.

Internet Explorer 11 trusted sites list not populated. Set via GPO, site to zone assignment.

$
0

The problem: Trusted sites list in IE11 is not populated with trusted sites, although it seems the GPO is applied correctly. The trusted site list is grayed out, uneditable for the user, as it should, but it is empty, and the sites defined in the site to zone assignment are running in Internet Zone, and not trusted sites, when checking Properties.

We have set the group policy for Internet Explorer 11 trusted sites via the Site to zone assignment list.  The GPO is supposed to apply for users logging on to a terminal server. 

Troubleshooting:
1. We can confirm the GPO is being read and applied to the registry via gpresult.
2. We can confirm the key is added in the registry, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMapKey
3. We can confirm that Internet Explorer 11 notifies the user that "Some settings are managed by your system administrator" and the Trusted Sites list is grayed out. 

What else should we check?
Why are the sites still in the Internet Zone, when defined as trusted in the GPO?
Why do the sites not show up in the trusted sites list in user's IE11?

Thank you.

Hello

System is Windows Server 2012 R2. (dc)

A following error “Resource '$(string.SSLCurveOrder)' referenced in attribute displayName could not be found. File C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\CipherSuiteOrder.admx, line 26, column 249”  occurs after last update (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/KB3161606) when tried to check group policy setting.

I found a few similar problems what associated with inetres.admx but not that CipherSuiteOrder.admx file.

I think that file is somehow corrupted, any advice or recommendation?

Hi All,


system.admx missing in server 2012 r2 GP


I am specifically looking to disable USB ports via Group Policy, however in this particular environment the System folder under Administrative templates is missing, I also can't locate the system.admx file to manually re-add the options. Is there a different admx file in 2012 to control this option which I should be looking for?


I have tried with no luck:

After last patch thusday, I found a lots of client where folder redirection policy has stopped working :

Last week I had problems with printer mapping and folder redirection, and In order to fix this problem I changed securyty on GPO delegation. That fixed problem whit printers, but I still have trouble with Folder Redirection:

 - I've DESKTOP and DOCUMENTS folders redirected to a network Share - applied by  a security filter.

 - I've fixed delegation GPO security

  some clients stop Redirecting DOCUMENTS folder... others stopped redirecting DESKTOP , others are working fine!

In GPO result I see this error:

Folder Redirection failed due to the error listed below.

Cannot complete this function.
