Hello,
I am trying to set registry keys for ODBC settings using Group Policy Preferences. All PC's in the domain are Windows 7. In testing, I was able to get this to work. Now that I am trying to create it for production, I am unable to get it to work. I am using the same PC to create for production that I used when I was testing.
The steps I am taking are as follows:
Create a new GPO. Edit the GPO and navigate to the registry node under Computer Configuration, Preferences where I create a new Collection Item. I then right click the new collection item and choose New - Registry Wizard. Using Local Computer, I navigate to [HKLM] > Software > Wow6432Node > ODBC > ODBC.ini
Under the ODBC.ini key are all of the keys and data I want to include in my policy. When I check each key and put a check mark beside each data item in the lower window, my selections in the lower window are not being saved. The check mark shows up at the time but they are gone if I go back to check my work before hitting the finish button. If I go ahead and finish the policy anyway, I only get the keys, not the data items when the GPO is applied.
I have found a work around but it is very cumbersome and isn't a good long term solution. The work around is to go ahead and create the policy, then go back into the collection and expand everything on the left and add each data value to each key one at a time using the All Tasks > Add - menu item.
Any ideas why this is happening? I should also mention when I was "testing", I was hitting the same domain controller as I am when trying to build this for my "production" policy.
Thanks in advance.
