I have 1 win7 system that will not process the computer gpo. Other systems are fine. If I run gpupdate /force I get the error: The processing of group policy failed. windows could not apply the registry-based policy setting for the group policy object local GPO.
We tried removing it from the domain and add it back in..no help.
Hi,
I have the same problem.
Server : Windows Server 2012 R2
PC's - Windows 10 1511 --> OU=development.OU=Win10.
User - test1 --> OU=Users.OU=Win10.
I have created a GPO to apply the default picture to all users --> ADMINTemplates > Control Panel > User Accounts
This GPO has been placed in both the PC and User OU's at the same time and still doesn't apply.
I have also made a changed to the GPO to "Configure Group Policy Loopback processing mode (Merge)" so that the Machine options should apply. It still doesn't work.
I have run "rsop.msc" whilst logged in as test1 but it only gives output for the user applied GPOs. I have to run cmd in admin mode to get the output from the machine GPO. The machine GPO's seem to have applied, just not the "Apply the default picture"
Is this a bug....?? or am I doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I am having some issues regarding my GPO. When i create a new GPO it will not be pushed down to any of the computers in its scope. I have tried with Gpupdate /force. and tried to get it listed in the gpresult /r but here it dosn't show up either. Furhtermore
i have tried to remove a PC from the domain and adding it again. However i do have a testing virtual machine that actually do get all of the updates.
The Gpupdate /force just says that the update is completed.
This is my first post and if you want any logs please ask :)
Thanks in advance! :)
Due to a server migration I am trying to change our current folder redirection location for our end users. Currently there is a GPO which is configured to 'create a folder for each user under the root path'. This path is hosted on a very old Novell Netware server but otherwise works fine.
I will not be modifying or deleting the old GPO, but instead applying the new GPO via group membership. Therefore I believe that I will not be able to have folder redirection move the files, but will instead be using robocopy.
The issue occurs when I add folder redirection to the new GPO. It adds additional information to the root path.
On the old GPO the path looks like this: \\server\share\username
On the new GPO the path looks like this \\server\share\username\my documents
I assume that this is due to the domain now being 2008 based instead of 2003. However this screws up my plan and I want to know if there is a way I can force the new policy to apply the correct file path?
Few day ago we had problem with DFSR and errors (5014,4612,5002) due unclean shutdown. This has been solved now, SYSVOL is now synced. But now i have problems with User Preferences which are not applied.
We have lot of GPOs mostly computer policies and they we working ok. User policies are working also ok but preferences are not:
The following GPOs were not applied because they were filtered out
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Local Group Policy
Filtering: Not Applied (Empty)
Shortcutxxx
Filtering: Not Applied (Unknown Reason)
The user is a part of the following security groups- User preferences are linked to the user OU and contain only User preferences (Shortcuts).
- Security Filtering is setup by Groups
After spending two day investigating i have noticed:
- When Security Filtering is setup by User or Group it does NOT work
- When Security Filtering is setup by authenticated user (bulid in) it does WORK.
Something is wrong with sec. filtering. No matter what policy is checked for user or group it DOES not work (Filtering: Not Applied (Unknown Reason))
Groups or Users have right to read and apply GPO!
Please Help.
This all was working until yesterday, after DFSRs errors we fixed this does not work anymore.And if i set GPI to Group or User, on computer when i do :
gpupdate /force
and then
gupudate /r
i do not see this (Not Applied (Unknown Reason), i do not filtering at all (for this GPO). I must set Auth. users so policy apply and then set for user or group then i can see this. It is strange.
In basic, whatever policy if filtered by user or group, is NOT applied. or ((Not Applied (Unknown Reason)
Edit: To be clear. :
- create GPO, set sec. filtering to user or group and remove authe. user. Login to computer with that user and use :
gpresult /r
No policy.
- reate GPO, set sec. filtering to authe. user Login to computer with that user and use same as above, and works. After that on DC change filtering to user or group and remove auth, go to pc and run:
gpupdate /force gpresult /r
and got code:
Group Policy problem (Not Applied (Unknown Reason)
We're using Windows Server 2008r2, the system was set up a while ago when it was managed by an IT team for us
I've always wondered why none of the GPO services work and have been having a look, I'm able to go through the process of setting them up - but at the end of the process it always gives various error messages.
For example: GPO to manage logging out of users from service (force logoff when logon hours expire)
The parameter is incorrect
Failed to save
\\domain.local\SysVol\domain.local\Policies\{62746005-FB0B-4191-8073-9E677F115787}\Machine\Microsoft\Windows NT\SecEdit\GptTmpl.inf.
Make sure that this object exists.
Server is updated with all latest updates.
I've been looking at various topics similar to this but cannot find anything that seems relevant to this issue.
Has anyone seen this issue before? any helpful solutions would be appreciated.
We just noticed yesterday afternoon that policies for an RDS server (Windows 2008 R2) that is hosted in the cloud are not being applied. There are two domain controllers also Windows 2008 R2. When I run an RSOP on a DC, the information returned looks OK, but some obvious settings are not applied at the RDS server. Also, for existing users, environmental variables are fine, but for new users, they are incorrect. The RDS server was updated and rebooted last weekend, so it's possible that some updates have caused the problem. I'm not sure what to try next, so does anyone have any troubleshooting techniques I might try?
There are several of the following log entries (Event ID 1530, User Profile Service):

I reset the machine account using Reset-ComputerMachinePassword, and I no longer see these errors, but the problem is still not fixed. I'd sure appreciate any thoughts on this.
Hi,
We just got the requirement
1 - to have CorpAdmin (One Local admin account used by MS-LAPS), Domain Admins (Default domain group) & L2Admins (Domain group created for Administration work like s/w audit / installation etc. having members in it) inBuiltIN\Administrators of every Client Computer and
2 - we should be able to Exclude some Client Computers if required and add domain account of user to builtin\administrators group.
For 1 we simply created a GPO LocalAdminGPO by adding Administrators to restricted groups and added all th required user and group, with below settings with Delegation to deny "Apply Policy" to a security group having computers in it to manage exclusion 2.
for 2 - We also created 1 more LocalAdminsGPO-Ex and added Domain Admins & L2Admins making them member of administrators, in restricted group with below settings. But unable to add CorpAdmin (One Local admin account used by MS-LAPS) in this policy.
This all was work fine since 2 days and all of sudden the computers which were added to exclusion security group, stopped showing membership of this group & name of 2nd gpo in applied gpo, ingpresult /r /scope computer whereas its showing filtering denied (security) for the 1st GPO. It proves membership is working for denial but not to apply exclusion gpo.
Am i wrong anywhere in creating or setting up GPO, but it was working fine since 2 days.
Or
Is there any better way to achieve it.
Currently also, everything is working fine and i am able to maintain the 1 and 2 but m afraid if gpresult is not showing correct data then it might raise problem in future. Any suggestions ?
Thanks, Rishi Pandit.

I asked this in the Direcotry Services forum as well, but thought it might also be appropriate here.
I have one desktop in our domain that is having some problems (drives not being mapped, program shortcuts missing, etc). This is only happening when one user logs into the system. If another user logs into the same computer, everything appears normally as it should.
My first inclination was to look at the users account and check policy. The user is in the same OU as the other user whose login works fine. The computer is a laptop, and is taken out of the office every morning before I get into work, so I cannot run a GP results wizard as the computer is not on the corporate LAN when I am at work. So I got a tech on site (this computer is in another city) to run "gpresult > result.txt" and email me the results. When the tech runs gpresult, he gets the following: "ERROR: Not found."
I've checked google (of course) and there really isn't much on this error. The computer joins the domain fine when the user logs on, but it certainly appears that GP is not being applied to his specific logon. Any ideas?
Hi Expert,
Im using a GPO to block the USB Store due to management direction. Somehow, there is a incident happens that even the USB store is blocked but the antivirus somehow can detect the Pendrive is not clean, and it draw attention from management.
Why we use GPO to blocked USB store but antivirus still able to detect it?
May i know is it because the GPO just block the USB access but not manage to block the application to running backend?
Thanks

Hi I am currently having a few issues with Group Policy and Office 365.
Our users started getting the notification in Office 2013 (Office 365 install) that an update to 2016 was available. This sparked a fair few emails to IT asking if they were OK to install. We said yes as, apart from a few users, they are all OK to update. We however decided that rather than getting the users to apply the update we would use Group Policy to do this. We made the following changes
1. We disabled the notification via Group Policy by setting "Hide update notifications from users" to Enabled for all users.
2. We then set "Set updates to occur automatically" to Enabled for all users computers except those that need to stay on 2013, for those users we Disabled this.
However I have noticed that users are still getting the notification in Office 2013 that the update/upgrade is available and those users whose Office has updated they actually have both Office 2013 and 2016 installed but the Office 2016 version will not load.
We have 1000 windows 8.1 users in our organization. Cooperate users have connected to LAN using ethernet(wired). Sometimes they are connecting dongles and browsing internet through it.
We need to disable Wired adapter if a dongle connects to the system.
We need one network access at a time
Can we do that?
Hello, I have one problem in my AD forest, clients cannot update group policy

When client and DC are the same LAn all works
Hello, I'm trying to figure out why Windows 10 PRO completely ignore 1 of my GPO.
It's a user settings policy and it's applied to a OU that contain users.
The security filtering is set for the users (I even tried to set those users in a groups and apply permission to the GPO).
The settings just doesn't want to apply.
When running a Group Policy Results, it doesn't show at all (Apply or Denied). I have even try to "deny - Apply group policy" the group policy to see if it will be listed under "denied". Nothing in the computer event viewer. The policy will
apply if the machine is Windows 7 (login in with the proper user)
There is NO WMI filtering on the GPO.
I have no idea what is going on at this point. Please help
