Outdated Command Syntax

I'm following an old microsoft article on fixing SceCli error 1202 and in step 4 of this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/324383/troubleshooting-scecli-1202-events it has you use this command: find /i “account name” %SYSTEMROOT%\security\templates\policies\gpt*.*

That command I guess has since server 2000, had it's syntax changed since when I go to do it in Server 2012R2 it says the parameter format is incorrect. If anyone might know the correct format for it, that would be fantastic.

Delegate limited permission to create and link GPOs WITHOUT Group Policy Creator Owners membership

$

Our AD domain and forest functional level is 2012R2 and we need to delegate permissions to a few admins to create GPOs and link them to a few specific OUs they control and manage. They should not be members of the Group Policy Creator Owners group. As per Microsoft's own text, they have been delegated rights in the GPMC to the Group Policy Objects container, and have full control permission already over their own OUs. However, they get 'access denied' everytime they try and create a new GPO (although they can amend existing ones). I do not see any means to see the level of access given to delegates on the Group Policy Objects container, its seems to just be on or off. How can I sort this so they have rights to create objects which will only get applied as per the OU permissions? From what I have read, quite possibly modifying the NTFS permissions on the sysvol\policies folder would do it, but that really would be an absolute last resort and it would definitely not be something that could be done without a long and convoluted risk assessment etc. Hope someone can help, thanks.

Edit: Have checked the ACL of the 'groupPolicyContainer' in the schema, and the group in question have the following:

Allow domain\admingroupB         SPECIAL ACCESS for groupPolicyContainer
                                                 CREATE CHILD

The Group Policy Creators Owners group has exactly the same displayed.....

Group Policy:Importing new GPO settings into the old one and resulting changes...

$

Hello,

Scenario: Let's say there is already existing GPO 1(Test Gpo), then you decide to import settings from GPO2 into it...

Then you go through the wizard. The example settings are below:

My question is how importing settings from another GPO2 to given GPO(Test Gpo) would behave? 

a)would the new settings wipe out the old totally and only GPO2 setting would be enforced?

(no settings from GPO1 would remain)

b)cumulative settings would be applied if conflicted?

GPO1 over GPO2? or GPO2 over GPO1

c)GPO1 settings would remain untouched no matter what GPO2 has?

What would be the values of:

enforce password history- 3 or 5?

min password age- 20 or 40?

complexity requirements? enabled or not

reversible encryption? enabled or not

Can anybody shed some light on this question? 

Thank you!

Windows 7 Updates

I would like to force PCs to be restarted in the evening time (for example at 10pm) if a user has kept postponing the restart after Windows 7 updates have been installed. Is there a group policy option that will do this? 

Thanks for any replies.

query on Loopback GPO without user and computer settings

$

Hi,

I have an OU called "Sales" multiple GPO has linked in sales OU. 

There is a blank loopback GPO also linked to sales ou, in that blank loopback GPO there is no user and computer configured only "merge" option enabled.

My assumption is if any GPO does contains any user or computer settings however if loopback merge is enabled technically that GPO does not gives any benefits.

Please confirm I will unlink the GPO.


Client computer getting incorrect info from GPO

$

I run a Doman with two DC with AD and a few other servers and 40 computers.  All client computers are in the same OU.  I have recently got WSUS running and I have a GPO set up called "WSUS - Client". in the GPO I have the following setting

Image

This is the RSOP results for several computers.  Some computers have the correct info. Like I said before all computers are under the same OU

Image

I have looked at all GPOs and this is the only GPO with info for WSUS.

I tried removing a computer from the domain and reinstalling it and this didn't fix the problem.  I have move computer to a different OU under the domain and then back.  This didn't change anything either.

I have also removed enforce and unlinked the GPO.  When I do that and run RSOP I don't get any info from windows update as it should be.  When I relink and enforce it comes back the same way.  At one point I did try to install WSUS on the server that is listed in the computer's RSOP but I could get it to run the post install so I removed the roles and installed it on a different server.  So at one point the GPO did sayhttp://flow:8530.  This server no longer exist.



Problem getting GPO to apply to anything besides one group

$

At my organization we have 3 account types. Regular user accounts, Domain admin accounts, and corporate only accounts. In AD we have it broken by Account type (Location>Computers, Groups, or Users). Each account has a security group to go along with it of course. Domain user group, Domain admin group, and corporate user group. Recently we've decided to do away with corporate accounts and simply put user accounts in the corporate user security group. In the corporate environment we've spun up a file server and set it to be mapped to users who A) Are members on the corporate users group and B) Computer is a part of the corporate computers group. When we created the gpo (we linked it to our corporate section>users>heading in GPM) to accomplish this we used user configuration>preferences>windows settings>drive maps and we specified the 2 rules to be what i mentioned before. The problem is the drive is only mapped on our corporate accounts only and not the standard accounts that are part of the corporate user group even though we have the targeted items to be the groups themselves. What would be the fix? I've tried linking the object to our desktop group or just the corporate group in itself without any headings but still get the same result.


Restrict Local Admins from changing network properites

$

We have a domain environment, and we push out global settings via GPO to Windows 10 (and some Windows 7) machines.
GPO's specific to preventing the viewing or changing of network connection/adapter properties work as expected for users that are not Local Administrators on their machines.

Some of our users (ie developers) MUST have local admin rights on their machines due to some of our software requirements. 
Since Windows 7, Local Admins have access to view/change network settings/properties by default, regardless of any GPO being enforced.

Does anyone know whether any "new" functionality has been introduced since, which will allow us to prevent local admins from being able to view/change network adapter settings?... Or another way in which this could be enforced?
If not by group policy, maybe registry?

We ideally want to start preventing local admins from being able to view or change IP/DNS settings etc.

Unfortunately, not having these users as Local Admins is not an option for us.

Configure Telemetry opt-in Change Notifications NOT showing up in HTML Report or RSOP but GPO is setting

We are running the ADMX for 1809. Windows 10 Enterprise 1809. When we launch Group Policy and set the

Windows Components - Data Collections and Preview Builds

Configure Telemetry opt-in Change Notifications = Enabled

Configure Telemetry opt-in setting user interface = Enabled

The Registry keys apply on the workstations BUT these settings DO NOT appear in the Group Policy "HTML report" nor in the Group Policy MMC snapin where it shows all the other settings.

The ADMX and ADML work of course or we wouldn't be able to see the settings to set them. However, we cannot set the settings unless we can see them being set?

I have never seen settings not show up before in 25 years of adm and admx usage.

Is there maybe an updated or equivalent GPO to the following which works with Windows 7 and above?:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->
Network -> Network Connections -> "Enable Windows 2000 Network Connections settings for Administrators"

Win10 1809 VM -- no group policies will apply, why??

$
0
0

I have a test VM of Win10 1809 within its own OU, 'Testing Computers.'

The computer itself is joined to the domain but is logged in for now with the local administrator account.

Some group policies are linked to only this OU and they don't apply.

Some group policies are linked to this OU *and* to the 'Domain Workstations' OU, which includes all our other Windows 7 PCs, notebooks, etc.

GPOs applied to the 'Domain Workstations' OU do apply as expected but not to the one computer in 'Testing Computers' OU.

The security group 'Domain Computers' has been given 'Read' permissions on all our GPOs in Delegation.

All our GPOs contain only 'Authenticated Users' in Security Filtering, the 'Testing Computers' OU is on the Scope tab.

No WMI filters are used, the Win10 VM has been activated with a MAK key and rebooted after being changed back to DHCP.

I've reviewed the '10 steps' for group policy troubleshooting and can't find that I've done anything wrong.

The Win10 1809 adml/admx files have been installed into the Central Store.

The domain controllers are Windows Server 2016.

Why are GPOs not applying?? Running gpresult /h /f on the computer gives me a report that says no GPOs are applying.




GPO to remove shut down/restart issue

$
0
0

I have a GPO to remove the shutdown/restart options on Server 2016. It works fine on member servers, but it does not work on DCs. I know this is probably a permissions issue but I am wary of making changes without checking with others who may have had to do this themselves.

The GPO was introduced when we deployed 2012 servers because the layout of the power options made it too easy for someone in a hurry to restart or shut down a server. I created another GPO to do the same, just using a different WMI filter when we started to install 2016. We are in the process of upgrading the domain to 2016 and need to make sure the option to accidentally shut down a DC is removed.

Anyone encountered this issue and, more importantly, have a solution to it?
