Deleted Policy from sysvol location by mistake - Group Policy Infrasturure Failure - 2008 R2

Hello, I accidentally deleted a GPO Policy from the Policies Folder in the sysvol location. I was sure that it was not being used but was somehow causing an errors when i ran an rsop on my test machine.
Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
The system cannot find the path specified.
Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available
Getting it from Backup would take too long.
There are no auditing on the DC and cant work out how to recover it now. Is there anyway to get this back? I have checked the other DCs but couldnt find the exact policy ID before replication.
Thanks

I can find the folder in the Sysvol folder on all of the domain controllers.
The issue with end users seems to be that the proxy settings for internet explorer is not being applied.

Hi all
In administering this policy I am a little confused.
We have a policy that distributes proxy settings in the internet explorer maintenance settings section - however when opening this policy up in GPO editor the internet explorer maintenance section is not present.
I plan to apply the settings via User/preferences/control panel settings/ internet settings (or registry settings from article) however I am unable to edit the settings for internet explorer maintenance and these will persist. Ideas????

Remove the "Safety" tab from IE 11 tools with group policy

Is there any way to remove the "Safety" tab or it's contents from the
tools button in the upper right hand corner of IE 11 with Group Policy 2008 r2. I am using a GPMC on a windows 8.1 computer running IE 11. All of the computers we manage are Windows 7 pro running IE 10 or IE 11. The computers I am trying to remove the "Safety"
from are used as library catalog computers. We have them pretty well locked down with group policy and a squid server. I just need to remove the "Safety" or the contents in it. I would love to remove the "Tools" all together but haven't
found a way.
I thought maybe I could use the "Force Full Screen" but need a back, forward
and home button.

Hi,
There is no method to remove this button.
If no, like that thread, firewall and proxy could meet your requirement.

For Proxy, you could use this group policy to disable user to change connection setting. Navigate to
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer
Find the following entry and enable it.
disable changing connection settings
Then don't grant admin permission to other user so that they cannot do any changing on computer.

Delete input from multiple locations

Hi,
I'm archiving log files to two locations. When I run RMAN script to backup arch logs and delete input, RMAN deletes one file from random (as I think) location. Please see the output below. Is there a way to delete input files from both locations or at least from one certain location?

In 9i you can use

I'm not sure about 8i. Try something like this:
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape';
allocate channel t2 type 'sbt_tape';
backup
archivelog like '/oracle/arch/dest1/%' channel t1 delete input
archivelog like '/oracle/arch/dest2/%' channel t2 delete input;

Deleted files from Time Capsule by mistake. How can i recover them?

I was using DiskTracker to organize the contents of Time Capsule. I deleted some folders from within DiskTracker unaware that this would delete files from Time Capsule itself.
I have several recovery software but none of them is able to see Time Capsule, as it is connected through my Lan. I have a lot of valuable data and i would appreciate any suggestion or help on recovering these folders. Please note that i have not written or deleted any files since the accident.

I have the same issue and am about to make another post ... Have you head anything or gotten any tips?

How to apply Software Restriction policy for specific user in local group policy object ?

I am working on implementing user based software restriction policy programmatically for local group policy object.
If i create a policy through Domain Controller,i do have option for software restriction policy in user configuration but in local group policy editor i don't have option for that.
When i look for the changes made by policy applied from Domain Controller in registry, they modifies registry values for specific users on path HKEY_USERS\(SID of User)\Softwares\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\Codeidentifiers
They also have registry.pol stored in SYSvol folder in Domain Controller. When i make the same changes in registry to block any other application, application is getting blocked.
I achieved what i wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?
PS:- I am using Igrouppolicyobject API

I achieved what I wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?

Delete file from original location and when copied size of file increases.

hi !
I have 2 exe's both of 1.15MB which I want to move to another folder. The files are copied to the folder but the size of exe increases to around 350MB each. What can be the problem ?
BufferedOutputStream bos=new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(filename));
int o=bis.read();
do{bos.write(o);}while (o!=-1);
boolean del=this.fpara.delete();
System.out.println(del); Also, the file is not deleted from the original location even though I have used the delete function. The last line produces null output.

And do follow coding conventions

Delete File from URL located on HTTP Server.

Hello All, could you anybody help me with my Problem. I need to delete some File in URL located on HTTP Server. The File was created via using of the Function 'DP_CONTROL_SEND_STREAM_TO_URL'. Any Times I need to delete this File from the url Location, but I cann't find any Functions or Method of any Class (GUI 6.20) to realise that. I read lot of very good Blogs from Thomas Jung about HTTP classes, but I cann't find somthing relevant for me...
Sincerely Yours,
Lubomir

Hi,
You can try with GUI_DELETE_FILE and give http location in FILE_NAME
or WS_FILE_DELETE.
I am not getting any CNDP function module for your purpose.
Hope you will get sucess..
Thanks,

Incoming msg's go to both INbox AND 'Important' folder; if I delete one from either location it deletes from both.

When receiving new msg's in Thunderbird they download into both my INBOX...AND...the 'IMPORTANT' folder (sub-folder of the 'Gmail' folder). Also: quite often (nearly always) when I check my email for new msg's, I'll find that several (not necessarily all) of my SENT mailings are also showing in the 'IMPORTANT' folder.
If I delete msg's from the IMPORTANT folder, they simultaneously delete from my INBOX...or SENT mail. As a result, I must always begin...when checking my new mail...by going to the IMPORTANT folder, selecting all the 'SENT' mails, dragging them as a group to the 'SENT mail' icon and then selecting all the NEW msg's and dragging them as a group to the 'INBOX' icon. It's a real nuisance. Thanks in advance for any corrective advise. NJR

You may want to change the setting for deleting messages so that copies aren't deleted. See the last paragraph of this article in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite Labels section].
Additional suggestions for TB/Gmail settings:
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78892
Note that it's recommended to not check "Place a copy in" for Sent messages.

Auto archive log deletion from single location out of multiple locations.

I have set two archive log locations. now i want archive logs to be deleted through RMAN from only one location the other location shouldn't be affected. what are the specific parameters to be set. Is there any specific command for this please advise.
Thanks in advance.

If you see Hemant's reply in the below link, he had shown how to delete archives from 1 location.

Preventing Domain Group Policy from being applied

How can a user prevent the domain group policy from being applied to his machine? And How can I stop users from doing that?

Hi,
No, group policy is processed by order, that is, local GPO is processed first, and then domain policy is processed by order, which would overwrite settings in the earlier GPOs if there are conflict.
If you don’t want to apply the domain policy, apply a higher precedence policy or disjoin the domain.

Block Patch KB3002657 from installing/being available via Windows Update via Group Policy

Hi Everyone,
Been hearing a lot of issues around with KB3002657 causing Authentication issues. We've recently appeared to have similar issues. I'm currently getting out SCCM guru's to run
an inventory on our environment to review if we have had this deployed to our environment, either by Windows Update (manual), SCCM/Wsus etc. If we do we're looking to have this removed and not deployed via our normal mechanisms to stop any production outages.
I would like to see if it is possible to block/hide this update from being visible from Windows Update, possibly by Group Policy.
From memory Microsoft created specifc ADM templates for blocking updated for Internet Explorer version to assist with the same type of issues (i.e. to stop IE from being updated
via Automatic Updates). Would there by anything like this available for this update, or does anyone know of another way (specifc Registry settings or ADM files that could be edited) to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Please, see solution:
The V2 release of MS15-027 / KB 3002657 that resolves NTLM v2
authentication failures by Windows Server 2003 DCs is available:

How to control IE10's "Compatibility View settings" via Group Policy

First
of all thanks for taking the time to read this. I must let you know that I have limited experience with Group Policy so here it goes...
Domain Controllers are 2008 R2 Datacenter and client computers are Win7 Pro with IE10
I need to add several sites to the "Compatibility View settings" in IE10 and have these pushed out via Group Policy.
I followed this to enable the "Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites:"
Use
Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites
I even added the settings to both User Configuration as well as Computer Configuration. However the computers on the domain wouldn't show these sites in
IE even after forcing a GP update (gpupdate /force)
Yes I did use top level domain names.
Next I installed the Administrative Templates for Windows Internet Explorer 10 on the DC:
Administrative Templates for Windows Internet Explorer 10
this gave me an Inetres.adm file while I put in the same location as my other .adm files that Group Policy Manager sees (located at C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Adm)
I do see a bunch of .ADMX files located at C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions
on the DC. I also see a lot of .ADML files located at C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US.
Where is my Central Store located that my Group Policy references? How do I know what location GP is reading from?
Now I installed the Administrative Templates (ADMX) for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 from here:
Administrative Templates (ADMX) for Windows Server 2008 R2 and
Windows 7
This gave me a "Win7-2008R2-admx.msi" package that I installed. I took the defaults and extracted contents to:
C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\Server 2008 Win7\PolicyDefinitions
Are all of these .ADMX files supposed to be placed into my Central Store?
If I mouse-over "Administrative Templates" in Group Policy Manager is says that the policy definitions are retrieved from the local machine.
I then right-clicked on top of "Administrative
Templates" in Group Policy Manager and highlighted Inetres and selected Delete.
While in Add/Remove Templates I click on Add and it defaults to looking for "Policy Templates" and will not let me select and .ADM/.ADML/.ADMX files.
What am I doing wrong here?
How do I know that I'm using the most recent Inetres file?
How do I know which file Group Policy Manager is using to manage the IE settings that are in:
User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer->Compatibility View->Use Policy List of Internet
Explorer 7 sites
or
Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer->Compatibility View->Use Policy List of
Internet Explorer 7 sites.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
Many, many thanks in advance for any response

Hi,
Regarding your question, usually we create a Central Store for Administrative Templates (Both .admx and .adml files), and create a folder that is named PolicyDefinitions in the following location:
\\FQDN\SYSVOL\FQDN\policies. The .adml files on the Windows computer
are stored in a language-specific folder. For example, English (United States) .adml files are stored in a folder that is named "en-US." When you have copied all .admx and .adml files, the PolicyDefinitions folder on the domain controller should contain the
.admx files and one or more folders that contain language-specific .adml files.
Please refer to the following articles. You will get more helpful details about the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Template files.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/12/09/windows-7-windows-server-2008-r2-and-the-group-policy-central-store.aspx
Based on your description, I understand you enable the setting “Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites”. However, didn’t show any sites in IE in client even after forcing a GP update
(gpupdate /force). Please use command “gpresult” in clients to collect the GPOs, and then check whether the GPO contain the setting “Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites” was applied to clients or wasn’t.
In addition, you also can change the related setting by using registry directly.
Follow the path of the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Policies->Microsoft->Internet Explorer->BrowserEmulation->PolicyList. (Create registry folders
manually if not present)
Right Click
PolicyList ->New->String Value->Enter the name of the website. (Both under ‘Name’ and ‘Data’. For example,
Value name: example.com Value data: example.com)
There is a similar question, please read as a reference.

Deploying Office 2013 with Group Policy

I would like to deploy Office 2013 using group policy. I am new to group policy so am looking for some advice and guidance on the best way to deploy. I would like to deploy with no interaction with the user but yet display a message so that they
know not to open Office. I would also like to create a custom registry setting so that if I need to re-install, all I have to do is delete the registry setting. I have tried a group policy for installing with OCT settings (Basic, Suppress
Model checked, No Cancel checked, Completion Notice checked) and modifying the Config.xml (<Display Level="Basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />) but I can not get it to display
the installer screen so that users know it is installing. It does display the screen when running the setup.exe manually. I have a setting in the OCT that creates the registry setting and that is working correctly. My group policy is set to run the
below bat file at startup in the Computer Configuration.
setlocal
REM *********************************************************************
REM Environment customization begins here. Modify variables below.
REM *********************************************************************
REM Get ProductName from the Office product's core Setup.xml file, and then add "office15." as a prefix.

REM Set DeployServer to a network-accessible location containing the Office source files.
set DeployServer="\\xxxxxx\setup.exe"
REM Set LogLocation to a central directory to collect log files.
set LogLocation=\\xxxxx\Logfiles
REM *********************************************************************
REM Deployment code begins here. Do not modify anything below this line.

REM Check for 32 and 64 bit versions of Office 2013 in regular uninstall key.(Office 64bit would also appear here on a 64bit OS)
:ARP86

echo %date% %time% Setup ended with error code %errorlevel%. >> %LogLocation%\%computername%.txt
REM If 0 or other was returned, the product was found or another error occurred. Do nothing.
:End
Endlocal
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciate on how to get a pop up message while software is installing or if there is a better way to deploy.
