Hey everyone, been a while since I have posted but I desperately need some help. Any help you can provide is eternally appreciated, I have been pulling my hair out on this for 2 days and its fricken ridiculous.
My Situation
The "security settings" in all my GPOs do not apply plain and simple. All other settings in all the GPOs apply except the security settings portion.
Both GPResult on the PDC and on the local computer show that all the GPOs applied successfully, but when you actually look at the settings it does not show any of the settings in the security settings section are being applied, it actually acts like those settings are not configured in the GPOs.
The kicker? My computer I use every day gets all the GPOs fine, its literally every other computer that is messed up.
RSOP shows same issue but does not show any errors.
What I have done.
- Deleted every GPO in the domain, ran GPOFix and then created new GPOs and imported the settings.
- Verified that the SysVol folder permissions were correct.
- Verified the folder permissions of "%windir%/security" folder and all sub-folders were correct.
- Ensured GPOs were enabled.
- Ensured WMI filters were not the problem
- Imported Local Security Policy with SECEDIT to ensure the local security policy database is not corrupt.
- ran SFC /SCANNOW
- Ran Disk Check
- ran GPUpdate /Force
- Restarted
- No Firewall enabled
- Ensured group policy are configured to apply to authenticated users.
- Verified replication.
- Powered off backup DCs to force GPOs to come from PDC and still same issue.
- All policies are configured on the root level.
- All GPOs have link enabled
- All GPOs have all sections enabled.
Notes:
The only computers in the domain are Windows 7(x32) and Server 2008 R2 (x64)
Policy Events shows no errors.
Event Viewer shows no errors.
Process monitor on the client shows that there are hundreds of "File Not Present" when its querying the registry, but when you manually check the registry the keys are definitely there.
