Hi All,
Successfully downloaded the brand new Windows 10 (1903) and want to deploy and poke around in the GPO options in my LAB.
But...
I can't find a download link to the ADMX templates?
Where do we get the ADMX templates for 1903 from to load into PolicyDefinitions?
Thanks in advance,
durrie.
Hi everyone,
It's possible GPO use ad attributes to interactive logon messages?
I try add a display name using %displayName% but don't work, can anyone help me?
Is there any way to move or copy entire currnet GPO settings to Windows autopilot.?
OneDrive for Business is utilized without any restrictions, but we want to disable the Next->Next wizard from end users, so the would only enter they credentials, click once next and then it will be okay. Now there is long wizard by default appearing and not everyone understands new next->next arrows, many people just stear the first page and wait it to complete.
I updated last GPO templates to our AD domain for office 2016 / O365 and I cannot identify any of the settings being apropriate for this need.

We have a strange issue where many newly configured Windows 10 devices are not able to connect to our wireless network. These devices have the same image and applications, same model, and exist in the same OU. Some connect fine, others do not.
Plugging the machines back in to a wired port and doing gpupdate /force will fix the issue, but I am curious as to what caused it.
On computers that do not connect, I can confirm that the 802.11 policy exists on the machine through gpresult and rsop.msc. The profile exists at c:\windows\wlansvc\Policies\Polxxxx.tmp. However, the registry entry pointing to that file are not there (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Wireless\GPTWirelessPolicy). Copying the registry key from a working machine to a broken machine, changing the file name to match, and rebooting all without being connected allows the machine to connect to the network.
My question is, what would cause the policy to get onto the computer, but not update the registry entry?
The setting "Accounts: Administrator account status" is not working in my Active Directory. (In Computer Policy | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local policies | Security Options)
I just learned this the hard way because somebody hacked into the server using the local administrator account and then encrypted all the files but I digress.
I confirmed that the setting is applied to the server in group policy modeling.
In that case I found it is caused by minimum password length set to disabled. This does not apply in my case.
Ideas?
Hi guys ,,,
I have a PDC and RODC in multiple branches , in my case i have to create a policy for each branch , that policy should add a specific IP's in Internet Explorer Trusted sites such as :
Branch 01 => 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.10.2
Branch 02 => 11.11.11.1 - 11.11.11.2
etc ,,,
so should i make a policy for each branch with theses specific IP's ? which i see it not logical at all to create 30 policy or 100 policy just for adding a specific IP for each branch .
or is there another way to do that without manual interruption from the IT Guys ?
Thank you
Hi,
We have shared folders on user's systems across AD.We want to disable the sharing through GPO so that we dont have to do for individual user.Is there a way we can achieve it through GPO?
I've already submitted this to MSFT via Feedback and resolved my issue for now, so this is basically informational for anybody coming across the same thing and searching for a resolution.
After installing the Win10-1803 GPO Templates, I'm presented with the below error:
Resource '$(string.Win7Only)' referenced in attribute displayName could not be found. File \\SysVol\...\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\SearchOCR.admx, line 12, column 69
I searched the folder on my PC where the files were installed. There's no SearchOCR.admx file in the new download, but there is an ADML file. After reinstalling the old and new ADML files, I found that the old file has a line for Win7Only, where the new one doesn't.
After reverting to the Win10-1511 SearchOCR template files, it's working normally again.

We blocked the whole system control for the students in a school. The only problem is they cant adjust ther brightness anymore. Is there a way to just allow adjustments for the brightness?
removedthe ability to create or modify any Group Policy which contains a Group Policy Preference that specifies account credentials.
I have been looking for a newer thread on this as I have tried to add local admins throgh GPO but it has not worked. Is it still possible to add through GPO or do I need to run a script?
And if it is possible can someone please help me out.
I have a 2012 R2 DC1 and a Server 08 R2 standard secondary DC, I inherited a bear of a GPO with most policies in the default domain policy and 31 other policy objects, all set to enforced and working against each other. Also all are deployed domain wide with everyone in the same OU.
Here's the rub, I'm trying to setup encrypted backups, the GPO setting for fixed drives using bitlocker with smartcards had been set to enabled, I disabled it. I then waited about a day and ran an RSOP on our backup server and saw it still says the smartcard policy is enabled. However if I run a RSOP on the DC it says disabled following the same GPO. Tried running a RSOP on the secondary DC and it shows up as enabled as well. Something isn't allowing it to replicate, tried doing gpupdate, gpupdate /force and reboots of all three machines with no difference. Any ideas???
Hello
I simply need a way to add a local account to "log on as a service" ..whether its GPO or script.
What I've checked
http://me.go-unified.com/ssign-log-on-as-a-service-user-rights-to-a-local-system-account-via-gpo-using-wmi-filters/ The WMI query here does not work. GP log says "The GPO does not pass the filter check and so will not be applied"
Tried all of these:
https://www.morgantechspace.com/2013/11/Set-or-Grant-Logon-As-A-Service-right-to-User.html#ViaPowershell
Only works for DOMAIN accounts. I have tried putting in .\accountname and it does not work in any script!
Can anyone please show how to do this and have tested and know that it works?!?!
Thanks

Hi Fellow Technetters,
I am trying to deploy network printers to domain accounts and also local admin accounts that are logged in to domain machines.
My first per user GPO is linked to our entire UK OU which contains all our users and computers in Sub OU's. this GPO works well, any domain user has the printers automapped to their windows account.
Second GPO is linked to our computer OU and is item filtered to apply to this OU (not needed I think) this GPO is enforced. This GPO is setup to install TCP/IP printers and not shared printers. When running gpresult/r /scope computer I can see that the second per machine GPO is applied first but the second is also on the list.
I've set printer GPO options in the Per machine GPO to allow point and print without elevation and specified the FQDN of the print server.
The local admins are not seeing the printers automapped.
What is going wrong here?
I work for a corporate environment supporting multiple domains.
Windows 2008 R2 DC and Windows 7 Clients (fully patched). Local User profiles with Folder Redirection.
We set User Group Policy Preferences for Control Panel\Desktop Registry keys (Wallpaper, screensaver, etc) and then set to "Apply once and don't re-apply".
For existing users the Group Policy applies the first time and the registry key is created in the users profile HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Group Policy\Client\RunOnce so it won't apply again.
The problem is with new profiles. The user logs in, the profile is created, the registry key for the Apply once and don't re-apply for the policies are created BUT NO actual preference settings apply on that first logon (even the ones that are not set to apply once). The preferences keys just don't get added or modified. It is like the profile is built after Group Policy Preference runs.
If you delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Group Policy\Client\RunOnce manually and do GPUpdate then the preferences apply fine.
Also all those preferences set to apply every time will apply at the next logon.
The problem is that the "Apply once and don't re-apply" are flagged that they have applied with they have NOT applied due to the profile creation not applying preferences on first logon.
I did find a Hotfix KB2284538 but the .dll version in the hotfix is two years older than the one we are using so it doesn't apply.
Our DLL is gpprefcl.dll Version 6.1.7601.22249
Any ideas even for a work-around. We need these settings to apply, but only once, so users can change them.
I think we have narrowed it down to the fact that Microsoft runs Active Setup for new user profiles AFTER User Group Policy which is so ridiculous. It means that Active Setup Overwrites Group Policy Preference files. I verified by watching it remotely. The user logs in, the settings are set, and then Active Setup deletes them.

Hi Systems Admins
I have a windows server 2008 domain and forest functional level.The screen above shows a client computer with the Administrator members.As you can see the Domain users are part of the administrator.This causes issues because the can dump files on each `s machines.I created a restricted group policy that removes everybody from local admins group except Domain Admin and Desktop Admin.This works fine, now my problem is I need some users to be local admins on their PCs ONLY.However the restricted group GPO kicks out that local users from local admins.How can I remove the VM\Domain Users from the Admin group but still leave only Domain Admins\DesktopAdmins and JSausa as local admin.What buffles me is how did the Domain users become local Admins and if they are local admins how are they able to\\10.12.36.10\C$ and view other machines ,i tought local admins have access to local machines , not other machine.Please help

I need to configure the IE add-ons to open PDF in our IE browser - please see the attached.
Would someone advise how to do it in GPO?
Thanks.
I have turned on Group Policy verbose logging and noticed that during a fast boot, several operations happen within 1ms and on a slow boot those same operations take a little over 1s or longer (see graphics below, both are from the same machine):

Hi guys,
It doesn't work at all even in very basic implementation.
Security Level is set to Disallowed.
Added just one rule.
GPO is applied to an OU with computer objects.

Hi
I am trying to create an auto enrollment for my windows 10 desktops into Intune,I have already managed to build all the supported infrastructure and able to register any windows system in our company AD by changing the Local policy using GUI. Now I need to make it automated. I have identified the Registry settings which actually changed during the Local policy change .I created a script as below which will create a registry key and add the two corresponding key words as below.
New-Item -path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\" -Name MDM
New-Itemproperty -path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MDM" -Name AutoEnrollMDM -Value 1 -Type DWord
New-Itemproperty -path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MDM" -Name UseAADCredentialType -Value 1 -Type DWord
But Even after successful execution of this script my systems are not getting enrolled into Intune
Can someone please help me on this
