Group Policy File Item Preferences Delay

We are using Group Policy Preferences to copy files from a file share to local workstations, using the "Replace" option. We are most concerned with files being updated at logon.
If the third-party macro developer makes a change to one of the distributed files and then immediately logs off and logs back in, the new version of the file is not pushed out via Group Policy. It will be updated on the next GP refresh.
Logins that occur some unknown time after this will have the new version of the file distributed. The system seems to be caching the files somehow.
A comment on this KB article suggests that the default SMB DirectoryCacheLifetime is 10 minutes, not 10 seconds - if this is the case, could this be the issue?

Seems we need traces now... I'd suggest capturing a procmon trace on
client and server side (with a filter for a test file, of course) to see
whats's going on. In my environment, I've never seen such behaviour :(

W7 client machine stuck on startup "Group Policy Files Policy"

we have some w7 machine getting stuck on boot up before ctrl-alt-del, once verbose message was turned on for troubleshooting, we noticed they were stuck at "applying group policy files policy".
we had let it wait for more than 60 minutes at time and it would still be stuck. (thou mouse / kb still responsive)
this problem however, is not re-produceable on demand, if we power off the machine, it boots back up with no issues.
checking the group policy log, we didn't find anything weird, but was not sure if that's the right place to look thou.
we do have two group policy preferences pushing out host files as well as desktop shortcuts, might that be the culprit?
thanks!

> we do have two group policy preferences pushing out host files as well
> as desktop shortcuts, might that be the culprit?
My recommendation: Use Group Policy Preferences as you like, but do NOT
use the "Files" extension.
Why? GP Processing at Boot/Logon is a synchronous foreground process
that cannot be interrupted (as you are already experiencing ;-)).
Replace GPP Files with a script that runs some robocopy commands. Start
this script through a scheduled task at boot or logon, so that it can
run asynchronously in the background, not disturbing the user experience.

SBL and Windows group policy user configuration preference

We would like to have user connects to VPN via SBL and then login to the AD domain. Ideally, the group policy user configuration preference, such as drive mapping, should be applied after successful AD login. However, we are running into issue where the preferences are not being applied. It appears the AnyConnect VPN tunnel is not completely established after the user login to AD; and hence the GPO preference was not able to apply. It takes about 1 min.after the user's AD login before the VPN tunnel is completely established.
Just want to find out if anyone is able to get SBL and AD GPO preference working successfully.

Group Policy - File Copy

I have a batch file that I need to copy to all workstations. I am trying to avoid having to create a startup or logon script to accomplish this. In Group Policy under computer configuration>Preferences>Windows Settings>File I see there is
an option to create a file and push it to the local machines. I tested this but it does not work.
When I select create as the action, the source file is set to
\\ter-trim\ker$\public\training.bat and the destination file is set to c:\training.bat but the training.bat file does not copy itself from the network share and create the file on the machine C: drive.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
How did we link the GPO? Did we link the GPO to the OU where computer accounts reside? Please run cmd command
gpresult/h c:\gpreport.html with administrative privileges to collect group policy result to check if the preference item was applied successfully. Besides, make sure that computer accounts have access to the source file.

Group Policy Files Not Being Deployed to UNC Paths

When attempting to deploy files via Group Policy Preferences, there is a well-known issue wherein you may receive an error to the effect of: 0x80070003
The system cannot find the path specified. This is due to the local system being the security context used to deploy the file. If the local system does not have rights to the location, as is true with mapped drives, access is denied and the path cannot
be found. The workaround for this is to enable the common option "Run under the logged in user's security context"
However, I have done this and still receive the same error. I have verified the logged-in user can reach both the source and destination. Specifically, the source is a file server and the destination is the user's HOMEPATH,
which resides on another fileserver in this case. More to the point, it's their redirected Documents folder, and it otherwise works fine; I cannot imagine this being a permissions or connectivity issue, especially because I receive the error even if I execute
a gpupdate
/force /target:user while logged in.
I've also installed the hotfix from Microsoft pertaining to this issue: "Error
code 0x80070003 when a Group Policy preference is applied to Windows 7 clients", but this did not change anything. (I only installed it onto the desktop; that seems to be where it belongs for my case.)
I'm at a loss as to why this happens. The domain controllers agree the common option is set, and a gpupdate does otherwise succeed. Also, if I change the target to a location on a local drive of the computer, it works fine. I do not see the common option reflected
in the output of gpresult,
but I'm not sure if I should.

Hi Ron,
Before going further, how did we input the source file path and the destination file path? Did we input the paths as follows (t1.txt as an example):
Action: Create
Source file path: \\servername\sharename\username\documents\t1.txt
Destination file path:\\servername\sharename\t1.txt

November updates cause error in IE group policy files

Hi,
I reinstalled Windows 8.1 with Update today and noticed an error after installing either the IE 11 cumulative update or the optional November rollup update package. The error pops up only if either or both are installed. If they are uninstalled, the error
no longer appears.
The error pop up displays when group policy editor is opened,
"Resource '$(string.VerMgmtAuditModeEnable)' referenced in attribute displayName could not be found. File C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\inetres.admx, line 1495, column 249."

Hi Sahil,
This issue is related with the ADMX files of Internet Explorer. The error was often caused by mis-matched ADMX and ADML files.
Here is a similar thread for reference: Group Policy Editor problem
The fix:
Unzipping the download (THIS ONE
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40905), then copy the related language\inetres.adml file to the c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\language directory, overwriting the existing one in the destination.

Group policy file copy not working: Error Code: 0x80070569 in GPResult

Hi All,
I am trying to copy files from network share location to computer c:\test\files folder using Computer Preference GPO. My gpresult giving error 0x80070569 (which means I think network path not found). I can browse network path from computer where

Group Policy Preferences File Copy - Access is Denied on 2003 but not 2008 R2

Hello,
I have created a GPO which copies a file from a network share into a new folder under Program Files. This policy works just fine on a Windows 2008 box, but not on 2003. I've used "psexec -i -s cmd.exe" to verify system account permission to the
share. I am able to successfully browse and copy files from the share as the system account on both boxes.
However, when the GPO attempts to perform the file copy, it does not work, and generates the following error message:

I am trying to avoid writing a login script, so I am hoping someone will be able to help me figure out why this works fine on Windows 2008 but not Windows 2003. Please note file names and paths are modified here for security reasons, but the principle is
the same.

As a user, I am able to browse the share just fine using the alias. It is only when I try to access the share using the system account that I encounter a problem.
experiencing the exact same symptoms. in the tests below, server, client1, and client2 are all are native instances of microsoft windows server.
server: windows server 2008 R2 standard SP1
client1: windows server 2003 standard SP2
client2: windows server 2008 R2 standard SP1

registry setting "DisableStrictNameChecking": configured as "1" on server; unconfigured on client1; unconfigured on client2

local system on client1 attempt to access server by alias: failed (system error 5 has occurred. access is denied.)
local system on client2 attempt to access server by name: success
local system on client2 attempt to access server by alias: success
all tests done using "net view \\target", but similar results were seen when using "dir \\target\share" which the domain user and local system account have access to.
the differing behavior between client1 and client 2 suggests that server 2003 requires additional configuration to allow its local system account to access an SMB share by alias.
this problem prevents group policy features (such as software installation) from an aliased file server.

Strange DNS, Group Policy & Active Directory Issues - Can't track down root issue!

For the last few weeks, we've been getting complaints, from our developers, about not being able to authenticate on various systems. The issues were hit & miss but still problematic enough to warrant our looking into it. It seems to be getting
worse... I now have new servers that aren't getting group policy updates. They may get some, like the list of local admins but won't pick up NTFS permissions for folder-access. Those that pick up the AD group full of local admins have trouble
authenticating members of the group. Some were showing event log entries regarding authentication issues due to being unable to contact an AD DC. We reloaded that DC but many of the issues still persist. At this point, I'm running
out of places to look for ideas. I've spent the last week looking up Event Log IDs and looking though their meanings and possible remedies but, again, the issues persist. It doesn't seem to matter what the OS is. We've been seeing
this on 2008, 2008-R2 & 2012-R2.
Here are some examples of events I'm seeing. I can't figure out the root cause(s).

Group Policy Printers errors

Hello everybody,
We have a problem since few weeks with printers deployment.
Intermittently, they are not deployed and we have errors 4098 in Event ID with codes :
- '0x8007000a The environment is incorrect'
- '0x8007007a The data area passed to a system call is too small'
- '0x80070005 Access denied'
Our server is a Windows 2008 R2 and clients are Windows7.

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Active_Directory/Q_26220975.html
We have tried to delete printers at logoff but nothing changed.

By default we have everybody can print. To be sure, we have added "Domain Computers" but same result.
We have tried to create :
- New GPO to deploy old printers queues => no changes.
- New printers queues and deploy with old GPO => no changes.
- New GPO to deploy new printers queue => no changes.
Our GPO is set like this :
- [Computer configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy]
○ Configure printers preference extension policy processing => all enabled
○ Configure user Group Policy loopback processing mode => Merge
- [User configuration/Preferences/Control Panel Settings/Printers/Shared Printer/printername]
○ General => Sharepath
\\server\printername
○ Common => Remove this item when it is no longer applied
In a desperate hope we have reinstall completely some clients but we still have sometimes "Environment is incorrect".
We don't know anymore what to do…
Can you help us please ?

Excel 2013 - disable "scale content for a4 or 8.5 x11" paper sizes" deploy via group policy

In office 2010 and 2013, the option "scale content for a4 or 8.5 x11" paper sizes" is enabled by default in word and excel.
I need to be disable this option on all machines, since it conflicts with our printers and doesn't allow us to print.
Ideally this should be done by group policy as our users change very frequently.
I have found the policy to disable this option in word, but can't find a similar policy setting for excel.
Any idea how I can resolve this?

Create the below given registry key using GPP for Excel and apply that to the ou or security group to disable or enable the check mark.
0=Disable
1=enable
Navigate group policy "User Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Registry"
Right click on Registry\New\Registry Item

EMET 5.x Configure EAF+ and ASR using Group Policy

I'm deploying EMET 5.2 in a test environment here at the office, and trying using Group Policy to configure the actual EMET mitigation policies. I'm aware of the new mitigations in 5.x, EAF+ and ASR, but I don't see any way to configure those using
Group Policy; they're not in the "available parameters" list in the GPO description, and nothing is mentioned about configuring them using GPO in the 5.2 config guide. Is there something I'm missing? I definitely updated the Group Policy
files with the latest from 5.2 in our domain's sysvol.
For example, to match the default configuration, I'd want a few GPO config lines like:
*\7-Zip\7zG.exe -EAF -EAF+ -ASR
*\Adobe\Acrobat*\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe -ASR

Hi.
Read this please:
Works well for the enterprise. Enterprise IT professionals can easily deploy EMET through Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and apply Group Policies in Windows Active Directory to comply with enterprise account, user, and
role policies. Administrators can customize and configure EMET deployments and determine which applications they want to protect through which mitigation techniques.

[Forum FAQ] Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks Item not working when the option Run whether user is logged on or not is selected

Scenario:
We use one of the following Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks item to deploy a task to clients:
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
(Note that on some platforms, "At least Windows 7" is replaced with "Windows Vista and later.")
After designating a user account to run the task, we select “Run whether user is logged on or not” option, and “The Do not store password…”
check box is automatically grayed out (See Figure 1).
Figure 1
After finishing configuring the task item, on a client, we run command
gpupdate/force to forcefully update group policy. However, on the client, when we check if the task is listed in Task Scheduler snap-in, the task is not displayed, and when we run
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result for troubleshooting, we see an error as similar as shown in the following figure (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Cause:
To make the scheduled task run whether the user is logged on or not, we need to store the password of the designated user account. However, for the content of the scheduled
task item is stored in Sysvol where it’s not safe to store passwords, this function has been deprecated.
Workaround:
We can run the task with system account
NT Authority\System, or we can use specific user accounts to run the task when the given user is logged on. (See Figure 3)

Hello Everyone,
Succeeded !!!!!!!
Even i was struggling with this same Problem to execute a batch via Window scheduler and set the setting to "Run whether the user is logged in or not".
I tried many time but the batch runs with " Run
whether user is logged on" and not with "Run
whether user is logged on or not".
what i discovered is that there was one mapped drive
path in my batch file which was not the complete path like y:/AR.qvw actually what i did i changed that map path to the complete path like \\servnamename\d$\AR.qvw and the batch executed successfully with the setting "Run
whether user is logged on or not"
The
conclusion is that check the dependency of the script on external resources because when you check this option "Run
whether user is logged on or not" It actually conflicts. This my discovery.
If
you have any question write me on [email protected]
Thanks
& Regards,
Arun

I am looking at an issue with users not getting specific group policies.
After searching a number of client computers I found that the following error
The user '*' preference item in the 'User - 6th Form Students Policy {E03166E7-A848-48B5-AA93-97B848AA9C13}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.' This error was suppressed.
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.
Potential problems?
one folder in sysvol entry is empty
\\<server>\SYSVOL\<domain.name>\Policies\{E03166E7-A848-48B5-AA93-97B848AA9C13}\User\microsoft\IEAK\LOCK
or is this our issue
The old method of configuring proxy settings to Internet Explorer 9 has changed?

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????

Cannot Copy File with Group Policy Preferences

Hi,
I am trying to use a Group Policy Preference to copy a simple text file from a network share to a folder at the root of 'C:\' on the clients. It is not happening. I created the preference in the computer section of the GPO. It is set to create, as the file
does not already exist on the client, with the archive bit on.
Source: \\server.domain.com\folder\fileshare\file.txt
Destination: C:\folder
GPResult shows the clients are getting the GPO, but it seems as if that one setting and another is not being applied. I have no idea why this isn't working when other parts of the GPO are being applied. I read
the documentation on the Technet page, but I must have missed something.
Any ideas why this might not be working?
Thanks

...unless the path ends with an "\", it IS a file name, so if you had
"C:\Folder" as the target, check your C:\ drive for a file called
"Folder" :)
