Script to override Group policy (Disable Addins and change default file type)

Hi there,
I am developing a solution for our customer that requires Office 2010 64-bit, which I have.
However my company's group policy, (I believe), keeps adding in a template manager for corporate documents, this template is 32-bit and is incompatible with my version of office. This means that everytime I open or close excel I get a warning of incompatibility.
This is irritating, as is the fact that the default new file type keeps switching back of xls, which causes me problems since my macro's need to create xlsx files, for the customer.
Now I believe that both of these are set by the group policy and while they a fine for most people, due to my unusual roll, it causes me irritations I would would rather avoid.
Since I know it will not be possible to change the group policy for the handful of people who are effected like this, I am looking for some help to, e.g. automatically run a script to adjust these settings on my local machine to make my life easier.
Thanks for your help,
Vincent.

Try using
Process Monitor for looking the key.
For example, you may set the required value through the group policy and see what windows registry keys are changed.

I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores. Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

How to disable APP and change default program in registry

Dear all,
it is possible to disable all the app (that appears in the start screen) in Windows 8.1?
Our users are a little bit confused and we prefer to use the old program (example Windows Photo Viewer and not Photos APP).
Let me know if it is possible and how to do it.
If yes, where we can edit the registry key to make the default program Windows Photo Viewer? And other programs? We would like to set Windows Photo Viewer as default app on all our computer in domain. It is possibile to edit this setting in registry?
And not manual from GUI?
Our PC are in a domain.
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open the file without using metro app.
We don't need to disable all metro app.
You can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to change the default programs associated with a file name extension.
1.Deploy your Windows image to a test computer.
2 Log into Windows and use Control Panel to configure your default application associations.
3.You can export the default application associations that you have configured to an XML file on a network share or USB drive. For example, at a command prompt type the following command:
Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml
4.Use GP server to enable the following group policy to modify the default Associations on the client machine.
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>File explorer>Set a default associations configuration file.
Regarding how to export or Import Default Application Associations,please refer to the following article:

Everything I look up for Event ID 1085 seems to be about a different cause.
Any ideas?

I enabled tracing on a domain gpo and I still get the error when running gpupdate /force .
I'm also still getting Event 1085. Here's the trace file. I've anonymized the site/domain and the GUIDs.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks
phil

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

Will EC support setting default file type and Open With from file menu?

The default file types I can live without, but at least allow for Open With on right click from Windows Explorer.
I currently have EC set in the Open With programs list, but EC does not comply for any files I opt to open it with (.css, .php, .html etc).
EC open but not the file I choose.
Also, even though the above use case is not ideal when if I do attempt an Open With when EC is already open, a new application session starts instead of attempting to open in the currently active app frame. It would be ideal to allow for single app frame, multiple files when Open With is employed.
Darrell

Hey Darrell,
Thanks for the feedback. How Edge Code treats files is definitely something we know isn't ideal and it's something we're looking at fixing soon. There's currently a story on the Brackets backlog that adresses the Open With issue - https://trello.com/c/GhF1Bgf9
And it based on howit ranks in that priority it looks like we could potentially take that into Edge Code over the next couple of months.
This is definitely a feature that we think is important before we consider ourselves 1.0 so it's high priority.

That's because the free apps are already registered to your Apple ID. You can't use them with another Apple ID.

Software Updates Failing - Group Policy Overwritten - Server and Policy NOT CONFIGURED

I have seen a few posts about this issue and group policy overwriting the settings needed by SCCM with the wrong WSUS server. I checked the wuahandlerlog and found this error but it didnt have the server information.
"Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server and Policy NOT CONFIGURED"
The only coputer policy that applies to this system does not have WSUS entries in it. Windows update runs ok, and I deleted the WSUS registry keys that were set by a script and reinstall the client still getting the same error. I dont see any GPO local or domain, or reg keys that are setting anything. I have 10 other servers is the same AD container that this is working perfecly on.......
Suggestions????

Check out this GPO:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Group Policy:
"Turn off Local Group Policy Objects processing"
The help text:
"This policy setting prevents Local Group Policy Objects (Local GPOs) from being applied.
By default, the policy settings in Local GPOs are applied before any domain-based GPO policy settings. These policy settings can apply to both users and the local computer. You can disable the processing and application of all Local GPOs to ensure that only
domain-based GPOs are applied.
If you enable this policy setting, the system does not process and apply any Local GPOs.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Local GPOs continue to be applied.
Note: For computers joined to a domain, it is strongly recommended that you only configure this policy setting in domain-based GPOs. This policy setting will be ignored on computers that are joined to a workgroup."

Event 4098, Group Policy Local Users and Groups

Hello,
A few of our computers on the network are not replacing the local "Administrator (built-in)"account with our administrator account we set up through Group Policy. I recieve the follow error message from the Applicaiton Logs. I'm
not sure if this error is a PC issue instead of a Group Policy issue, because Group Policy seems to be working fine on our other PCs. Any suggestions/ideas would be helpful. Thank you.
Error message: The computer "Administrators (built-in) preference item in the "Security Policies {CD8199AF-99A8-41F8-8D28-C92DD9C57A51}" Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070526 The specified group policy

Hi,
It seems that you have configured this security policy already, you can try run GPupdate /force command and then check if all security policies are applied in your computer:
Resultant Set of Policy

you can use this command to retrieve the specific group policy:

2012 RDS Group Policy - Adobe Reader and Acrobat to Co-exist

I have a 2012 RDS session host that 20 users terminal in to.We have always had Adobe Reader installed for users to open PDF files.10 of the users required Adobe Acrobat Pro, so we obtained a license for 10 users to access Acrobat Pro.We installed Acrobat Pro on the RDS session host, which also has Reader installed.The problem is, when a user opens a PDF file, it is opening with Acrobat Pro.I need to set the the default PDF program to Adobe Reader. I tried configuring a GPO per the article below:http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/09/how-to-use-group-policy-to-change-open-with-file-associations/However, the default is still Acrobat Pro.What is the best way to accomplish this task at hand?

Hey, what you have described is normal behaviour for the way you have written your Custom ADM file.
Because you are not using Proper Windows Policies, i.e. Setting them in the policy location in the registry, then once you apply a setting, it will not get over written again ever unless you made a group policy change or do a gpupdate.
Normal group policies will get re-applied depending on the time frame set in the policy its self.

EMET group policy preference "application configuration" vs "default protection for popular software"

Hello,
Trying to implement EMET 4.1 update 1 in a VDI environment using group policy. When all default protections are enabled (IE, recommended and popular) EMET is blocking the startup of windows media player within citrix session as caller
mitigation. At this time I wanted to use the GPO "Application Configuration" to specify an exception as "wmplayer.exe -Caller". Even tried "*\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe -Caller" but startup would still get blocked. When
using emet_conf --list I would see three entries for wmplayer and the only way to remove Caller is to disable policy "default protection for popular software". Shouldn't settings in Application Configuration take priority as being the exception to
the rule? Alternative is to turn off the "default protection for popular software and list all of them one by one (or use XML file)
here is part of the output of emet_conf --list
all policies:
wmplayer.exe           *\Windows Media Player       DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray
EAF MandatoryASLR BottomUpASLR LoadLib MemProt SimExecFlow StackPivot
wmplayer.exe                                        DEP SEHOP

wmplayer.exe           *\Windows Media Player       DEP NullPage HeapSpray Botto
mUpASLR LoadLib MemProt Caller SimExecFlow StackPivot
without "default protection for popular software" (much less applications listed)
wmplayer.exe                           DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF Mandator
yASLR BottomUpASLR LoadLib MemProt SimExecFlow StackPivot
wmplayer.exe *\Windows Media Player   DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF Mandator

Thank you

if I understood correctly from talking to EMET feedback team last time, they said App Config settings don't actually override any the default app or popular or IE protection profiles. (it really seems like App config settings override the other profiles
from the manual, hey? I thought so as well)
Sooo, it sounded like we'd need to extract the recommended or popular app list, convert it to the path + mitigation not included format for the app config GPO and then just use app config to manage it.
Needless to say it sounded surprising and laborious and not management by exception at all.
Rinse repeat for new versions of emet and XML policy files .
p.s what would be really helpful in the admin guide is some real world examples of contoso.local where they apply the recommended apps + a few exceptions for all + custom exceptions for a separate class of machines or groups of users. hmeh.

Reading shape file and searching by file type

I want to write an application for working with ESRI .shp files which I think shouldn't be too hard. Looking for recources on this forum I didn't find any at all, which is unusual to me.
It made me wonder the following: Why can't I search for resources on ni.com by file type? I see a lot of applications that interact in some way with existing file types (beyond ordinary xls, doc and txt), but information (be it articles, links or forum questions) are spread out all over the web (if the information exists at all). I would love to see recources grouped by file type, so I can see in a list of extensions which types people program for(in labview). Maybe there's allready something like this that I am not aware of?

We don't have a way to search content by file type. And since most attachments are zipped up by NI or by customers, searching for a filetype probably wouldn't yield the results you were looking for.
If an article (or customer question) makes a reference to that filetype in the text itself, or includes a link to such a file, the file extension will be indexed.
I don't see any content relating to ".shp" files, so I would recommend simply posting your request to the appropriate product category in the Forums.
Best of luck with the application.

Data Recover From Formatted Drive? What is the best program to use to get back Logic Projects and any other file type?

I was in the process of reorganising my hard drives so I could RAID them however I managed to corrupt one drive and had to format it which meant I lost all my Logic Files and some other files. I managed to save a lot of files (mainly video files) before I had to format the drive but I need a Data Recovery service that will not alter anything on the hard drive and will put all the formatted files (regardless of the type) back for me so I can get the rest of the ones I need.
Thanks in advance.

What about folders and such?
No. FS doesn't reconstruct folders. However, Data Rescue does, depending on how you use it. About the only thing in Data Rescue a Quick Scan ever seems to show you are files that are already live.
So that leaves you with a Deep Scan, or a Deleted Files scan. The first pass of a Deep Scan will attempt to retrieve folders and files, along with their original names. The second pass only looks for file patterns. Like recognizing a Photoshop .psd file. It will recover it, but give it a nonsense name. A Deleted Files scan only results in nonsense names of recognized file types; no folders.
What were you using File Salvage on? A hard drive?
Yes, though you can use it on a flash drive, or any other mounted drive.
At the moment it is estimating 289 hours remaining on a 1TB drive. Can it not go faster?
No, both of the software mentioned are slower than molasses in January. When you delete anything in Windows, its file table entry simply tagged as deleted. So to unerase them, the tag is removed. That's why it works to quickly and easily (assuming you haven't already overwritten the data to be recovered).
In OS X though, the whole idea of the underlying UNIX structure is all about security. It's not supposed to be easy to retrieve deleted items. When you delete items, their file table entries are erased. So the only way to find deleted items is to scour the entire drive for BOF (Beginning Of File) markers that don't have a matching starting block to anything that is in the file table.
Another question, half the drive was empty. Will it fly over that empty space or will it sieve through it incase there was some files stored on it?
If you use the Expert mode is FS, you can choose to do that:
