Group policy related

what are the settings in a  GPO would get tattoed on a system?  say if a wrong GPO was linked and all GPO settings propagated to machines from the wrong GPO, what are the settings that would still tattoe in the system even after the wrong
GPO gets delinked/deleted. There are many settings in the wrong GPO and knowing this will help to focus on certain settings.  Any response is appreciated.

Hi,
>>will the new preference setting overwrite the old preference value?
I agree with MuhammadUmar.
As stated in the blog provided by Don, Preferences can overwrite an application's configuration settings, which is accomplished by overwriting the
original user configured-value for the application.

  • Does the Computers container in Active Directory have any Group Policy applied to it?

    Hello,
    It is my understanding that the Computers container can not have Group Policy applied to it. Does it still inherit the default domain policy, or is it not affected by any Group Policy at all?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Glad the issue was solved.
    Additionally, for the information about group policy related, please refer to the similar thread as below:

  • The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported

    Hi guys,
    we created a custom WIM Image (Windows 8 Enterprise) with MDT 2012.
    Sysprept the Image, Deployed via SCCM 2012 SP1.
    Computers are Domainjoined. Error with standard Domain User.
    On some computers (not every computer) and not with every user on the first logon following error message arises:
    The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported
    It works, when you log in a second time but this error isn't very nice. 
    Is there a solution for that?
    Kind Regards
    Martin

    Hi,
    The service is responsible for applying settings configured by administrators for the computer and users through the Group Policy component. This issue can be caused by various reasons based on the computer environment.
    Can you find any information in event log about this issue?

  • MSI not installing via Group Policy - Insists location does not exist

    Hi
    I am creating a group policy object whereby I am pointing my software package installation to \\192.168.1.3\GPO\MSOCached32bit.msi
    The location has permissions for the machine accounts on both the share and the ntfs permissions with read only access.
    I have created an OU and moved a Windows XP machine into it, linked the GPO and made sure that the XP machine is not using optimised log on.
    From the machine I can reach the share and see the file from the path above.
    However each time I reboot the machine I am testing on the installation fails, the exact error being:
    The install of application MSO from policy MSO Installation failed. The error was : The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
    This is rather odd, since I can see it, the machine account has permissions to see it and I cannot see what the problem is.
    I have then gone on to enable verbose logging of the MSI installer which has produced the following:

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,
    This is not something related to the GPO issue. The issue is with MSI and the packaging. Condition the ResolveSource action.
    Try Copying the MSI to local machine using a script and execute it.
    ResolveSource actually requires that the original installation source is available whenever it is called. If your installer package is authored correctly, source must only be resolve in cases where the original RTM files are missing or during some patch
    uninstall scenarios.

  • Group Policy processing failure on 2008 when MIX Domain 2003 with DC 2008

    Dear I try to add additional Windows 2008 Domain to My Domain controller 2003  and I ma Receiving Group policy error in DC 2008  With Event ID 1055
    The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer name. This could be caused by one of more of the following: 
    a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller. 
    b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).

    Any help or advice 

    Hi,
    Were there other error codes logged in Event Viewer?
    Regarding Event ID 1055, the following article can be referred to for troubleshooting.
    Event ID 1055 — Group Policy Preprocessing (Security)
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727272(v=ws.10).aspx
    Based on the report you posted, this issue may be related to FRS replication service. As a result, we can use ntfrsutl tool to check whether the replication service is healthy.
    Regarding this point, the following articles can be referred to for more information.
    Troubleshooting File Replication Service
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727056.aspx
    Ntfrsutl
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh875636.aspx
    In addition, we can also try doing a non-authoritative Sysvol restore on Windows Server 2008 DC to see whether the issue persists.
    Using the BurFlags registry key to reinitialize File Replication Service replica sets

  • Windows Time Server setting not following group policy

    I hardly use group policy, except for two settings:
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Exclude directories in roaming profile
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Windows Time Service\Configure Windows NTP Client & Enable Windows NTP Client
    The first setting has worked perfectly for years, but the second one seems to have stopped working, in that the time on client PCs has become out by several minutes. The client PCs are running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
    Following is the result under [TimeProviders] when I run W32TM /query /configuration:
    On the server:
    NtpClient (Local)

    Can anyone help me to fix this please so that the client PCs sync their time correctly with an NTP server?

    Hi,
    >>but the second one seems to have stopped working, in that the time on client PCs has become out by several minutes. The client PCs are running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
    Does this happen to all clients in our environment? For group policy, we can run command
    gpresult/h gpreport.html with administrative privileges to collect group policy result to have a check. Besides, we can check event logs in Event Viewer to see if some related events were logged.
    Here, we can try to resync time with domain by following the steps described in the article below.
    Configure a client computer for automatic domain time synchronization
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758905(v=ws.10).aspx
    In addition, regarding time configuration in Active Directory, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • GPP Scheduled Task Fails in Group Policy Modeling depending on DC

    We have multiple domain controllers running at a 2003 functional level.
    We have 1 DC running Server 2003 x86 SP2 and the rest run Server 2008 (maybe R2)
    I created a GPO that includes a Scheduled Task Group Policy Preference under Computer Configuration.
    In order to test this I used Group Policy Modeling in the GPMC on a 2008 R2 Machine where I am editing Group Policy.
    If I run the modeling (perform the simulation on the 2003 DC it fails. (Note I am modeling the GPO for a different computer, not the 2003 SP2 DC, I am running the modeling for a Workstation)
    Information from the Component Status on the Summary Tab of the Modeling Report
    Component Name Status 
    Group Policy Infrastructure Success 
    EFS recovery Success (no data) 
    Group Policy Scheduled Tasks Failed 
    Group Policy Scheduled Tasks failed due to the error listed below and failed to log resultant set of policy information.
    Additional information may have been logged. Review the application event log on the domain controller on which the simulation was run for events between 2/28/2014 10:07:36 AM and 2/28/2014 10:07:36 AM. 
    Registry Success 
    Security Success 
    Info on the Settings Tab of the Modeling Report below.
    An error has occurred while collecting data for Scheduled Tasks.
    The following errors were encountered: 
    An unknown error occurred while data was gathered for this extension. Details: Invalid class  
    If I run the modeling using a 2008 DC to perform the simulation it works fine.
    Per the instructions on the Summary Tab regarding the scheduled task failure I look at the event log on the 2003 domain controller and this is what i find.
    The event I get on the 2003 DC is 8196 and I will place the details below.
    Event Type:   Error
    Event Source:           Group Policy Scheduled Tasks
    Event Category:        Disk
    Event ID:       8196
    Date:              2/27/2014
    Time:             4:48:47 PM
    User:              NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
    Computer:     <computername>
    Description:
    The client-side extension caught the unhandled exception '0xC0000005' inside: 'threadEntry : client main' See trace file for more details. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    So, should I be concerned that this is failing on the 2003 DC, does this mean that if my workstations authenticate to my 2003 DC that the preference will not process?
    I was reading that in 2003 client side extensions were not there and can be installed, would this make the modeling succeed?
    How do I get verified, I tried to post screenshots, but I could not. :(

    Hi Jonathan,
    As you have found the reason, I want to confirm whether the issue has been fixed.
    In fact, for Windows Server 2003 to apply or process Group Policy Preferences settings, we must install client-side extensions of GPP for Windows Server 2003.
    Although this is not related to this case, for your information, if our clients are Windows XP or Windows Vista, to use GPP, we must install client-side extensions for these
    workstations respectively.
    Regarding GPP, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Group Policy - User Rights Assignments not taking effect on workstation`

    Novell 5.1 SP7. ZenWorks 3.2 sp3. Windows XP Pro workstations.
    In Group Policy, (Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security
    Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment), I have added Power Users to
    the "Load and Unload device drivers" policy. However this setting is not
    taking effect on my Windows XP workstations. My DLU policy for users is
    configured to have the users members of the "Users" and "Power Users" groups
    on the local PC.
    Other parts of Group Policy (Computer Policy/Administrative Templates) are
    taking effect on the workstation, so I'm wondering if the problem I am
    having is related to Security Settings only.

  • The group policy client service failed the logon access is denied.

    This one is starting to get on my nerves now. We've had 2 users suffering this problem on our Remote Desktop server.
    We are running two Windows Server 2008 SP2 domain controllers, with two Windows 2008 R2 servers running RD Gateway and Remote Desktop Server.
    The first user I had to recreate because of following instructions I googled because it caused the user to always logon with a temporary profile on the server and I could not resolve this.
    This user I have managed to cleanly delete the local logon profile.
    BOTH of these users are on roaming profiles, as are most of the users that are logging in to this server (for reasons that they move around the office). On the server, the user is listed twice one with a .v2 extension (XP machines at desks)
    The user we are having a problem with at the moment was working perfectly fine a couple of weeks ago when they last logged into the server.
    Could this be down to me setting an over ride on the settings that force people to logout completely after an hour of idle time, resulting in an unclean logoff?
    Some of the messages that are in the event log for when that user attempts to login:
    Event id: 1542
    Windows cannot load classes registry file.
    DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.
    Event ID: 6001
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> failed a notification event.
    Event ID: 6004
    The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event.
    I'm also getting a constant batch of
    Event ID: 510
    Folder redirection policy application has been delayed until the next logon because the group policy logon optimization is in effect
    Any ideas why this should happen? I need a solution as soon as possible please as these users are running our sales department from home, and this user is due to be on the rota to do it this week! :)

    Andy, I have been struggling with this issue on a new 2008R2 server. Can
    you explain the commands you used to load ntuser.dat and usrclass.dat
    into the registry? This is a truly maddening issue.
    Thank you.

  • Slow logins to domain, several event ID errors (group policy, netlogon, NTP errors)

    We have a laptop user who was experiencing slow logons in a remote office.   (Remote office has 100 users, only 1 is reporting the issue).  Helpdesk swapped computers to give the user brand new hardware.   The new laptop worked
    fine while in the IT department in the main office, the user returned to their desk in their remote office after replacing the laptop and logged in and experienced the same slow logon issues as the older laptop.
    Logons take up to 45 mins to process.  (Login script hangs and does not process).  During the process, you can check IPConfig and it received the proper DNS settings.  you can ping the authenticating server by name.  We have scanning
    on our local copiers setup to scan to the users desktop, and this errors out.  DNS on the AD controller shows the proper IP address for the machine and you can ping the machine by name.
    System Event log is loaded with errors:
    Event ID 5719 - Netlogon, computer not able to setup a secure session with a domain controller in the domain
    Event ID 1129 - Group Policy, processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity
    Event ID 129 - Time Service, NTP Client was unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source
    Event ID 5783 - NetLogon, The session setup to the WIndows NT or 2000 domain controller (xxx) for the domain is not responsive.  RPC call cancelled.   (NOTE - you can ping this domain controller by name and by IP with no issues)
    Event ID 130 - Time-Service, NTP client unable to set a domain peer
    All these seem to point to RPC errors timing out because they cannot communicate to the network resources.  The problem happens on wired or wireless connections.  We had the user move to a different network connection (one we know is working for
    another user) the problem persists.   The problem was on the original computer and continues to happen even after replacing the hardware with a brand new laptop.
    I have tried running the following hotfix.  Which does not resolve the issue: 
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2459530 which technically this shouldn't be an issue because we use DHCP off the 2003 AD domain controller.
    I have checked the domain controller, AD Replication is processing with no issues.  DNS is working.  The local DHCP server has no issues or events related to this account and neither does the local DNS server or the authenticating server (which
    is in another remote office). 
     

    Hi,
    As we know, most of the time error event 5719 is caused by network connectivity issues or name resolution issue, I suggest you refer to this link to make a further analysis

  • Group policy Preferences server 2008 and windows 7

    Hi I have been struggling with an issue with group policy preferences for a while now with regard to pushing out printers to windows 7 (32/64 bit) Machines. I have two DC servers one is 2008 and the other is 2008 r2. I have setup the group policies on the
    2008 server as it is the only one i am allowed to access regularly to do this.
    Basically here is my problem. I have created multiple GPO's to send out printers from out print server to classrooms across the school district I work for, I have a mix of xp and windows 7 machines. I have the server setup with both 32 and 64bit drivers
    for all printers on that server, we have a mix of oki and hp and ricoh. I know all the connections work and the drivers work well, however when I push them out using the group policy, the windows 7 machines don't install the printers. The xp machines do this
    perfectly well when I install the client side extensions patch, but they just will not pull down on the 7 machines unless i install the printer first manually, then delete it and then run gpupdate. In that instance it will work, but obviously i don't want
    to have to go round thousands of computers doing this manually.
    Just as a side note, each classroom has its own user account and its own printer.
    If anyone has any advice as to how i can go about resolving this issue i would greatly appreciate it, this has been a problem i have been researching and trying to fix since January.......

    Hi,
    >>The xp machines do this perfectly well when I install the client side extensions patch, but they just will not pull down on the 7 machines unless i install the
    printer first manually, then delete it and then run gpupdate.
    Before going further, we can run command
    gpresult/h gpreport.html with admin privileges to collect group policy result on the troubled Windows 7 clients to check the issue. Besides, we can also check event logs in Event Viewer to see if some related error events were logged.
    Besides, I want to confirm if we have disabled
    Point and Print Restrictions under both User Configuration and Computer Configuration. To have a consistent experience, it’s recommended that we disable the policy setting in both locations if we are dealing with mixed-level clients.
    Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to for more information.
    Point and Print Restrictions policies are ignored in Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, and later Windows operating systems

  • Intermittend DNS resolution, timeserver, group policy updates errors in client logs in Win 2012 R2 single server environement

    We recently switched hardware and server software Win SBS 2008 to 2012R2 for a small network roughly 40 clients (Win7 Pro / Win 8.1 Pro) about 16 running concurrently at a given time and one network printer with the printer queue residing on the DC as well.
    I read that a single server environment might not be ideal in particular no fail-over but that is an accepted risk in this particular network here.
    Errors:
    Error 1043: Timeout during name resolution request
    Error 1129: Group policy updates could not be processed due to DC not available
    Error 5719: Could not establish secure connection to DC, DC not available
    Occasionally but disappears after a while
    Error 134: As a result of a DNS resolution timeout could not reach time server
    Symptoms
    On Win 7 Clients
    Network shares added through Group Policy will not show sometimes
    Network shares disconnect (red X) and when accessed return access authorization error after one or two clicks on the share finally grant access again
    When the issue with accessing network shares occurs, it usually also affects Internet access meaning a 'server not responding' error appears in the browser windows when trying to open just any web page
    nslookup during the incident returns cannot resolve error
    ipconfig on client shows correct default router (VDSL Router) and DHCP / DNS Domain Controller
    Also, the Win system log shows the above errors during these incidents, however, the nuimber of incidents vary from 20-30
    On Win 8.1 Clients
    Same as above with the slight variation for network shares apparently due to Server 2012 and Win 8.1 clients managing drive shares differently. However, network share refresh does not work with this clients. In most cases only a gpupdate /force returns
    drive shares but usually only for the active session. After logoff / logon the shares are gone again.
    The issue does appear to be load related since it occurs even if there are only one or two workstations active.
    Server Configuration
    Dell R320 PowerEdge 16GB / 4TB 7200RPM RAID10 / GBitEthernet
    Zyxel 1910-48 Port Switch
    VDSL 50Mbps Down / 20Mbps Up
    Since the DC is the only local DNS and there are no plans to add another one or move DNS to another server, the DNS server is configured with this own address as preferred DNS with three DNS forwarders 1) VDSL Router 2) ISP DNS1 3) ISP DNS2
    Currently only one Network card is active for problem determination reasons.
    There appears to be no consensus concerning IPV6 enabled or disabled, I tried both with no apparent effect
    I have set all network cards server and client to Full Duplex and the same speed, also disabled Offload functions within the adapter settings. Some but no consistent improvements.
    Best Practice Analyzer Results
    DNS server scavening not enabled
    Root hint server XYZ must respond to NS queries for the root zone
    More than one forwarding server should be configured (although 3 are configured)
    NIC1 should be configured to use both a preferred and alternate DNS (there is only one DNS in this network)
    I have found some instructions to apply changes to the clients through a host file but I would rather like to understand whether this DNS response time issue can be resolved on the server for example timing setting perhaps. Currently the DNS forwarders are
    set to 3 second.
    Since a few people have reported issues with DNS but most are working with multi DNS, DC environment I could not really apply any suggestions made there. perhaps there is anyone like me who is running a single server who has overcome or experience the same
    issues. Any help would be appreciated

    Hello Milos thx for your reply.. my comments below
    1. What does it "switched"? You may mean migration or new installation. We do not know...
    >> Switched is probably the incorrect term, replaced would be the appropriate wording. Before, there was a HP Proliant Server with SBS 2008 with distinct domain and now there is a Dell Server with MS 2012 R2 with a distinct domain. Client were
    removed from one (SBS) domain and added to the new Server 2012 domain. Other components did not change for example same Network Switch or VDSL Router, Workstations and Printer
    2. Two DCs are better alternative. Or backup very frequently. There are two groups of administrators. Those who have lost DC and those who will experience this disaster in near future.
    >> Correct, and I am aware of that
    3. NIC settings in W 7 and W 8.1, namely DNS points to DC (...and NOTHING else. No public IP or that of router DNS.))
    >> Correct, this is how it's currently implemented. Clients point to DC for DHCP and DNS and Default Router, no public IP or DNS. The only references to ISP DNS exist on the VDSL Router itself as provided through ISP when establishing VDSL
    Link and the list of Forwarders in the DNS Server configuration. However, I have just recently added the ISPs DNS as forwarders for test purposes and will probably learn tomorrow morning whether this had any effect for better or worse.
    4. Do nslookup to RR on clients. RR branch is saying client basic info on LDAP parameters of AD.
    >> Will post as soon as available
    5. I do not use forwarders and the system works
    >> Ok, does this mean it works for you in a similar or the same infrastructure setup or are you saying it is not required at all and I can remove any forwarder in a scenario like mine? If not required can you explain a bit more why it is not
    required apart from that it does work for you that way?
    6. DHCP should sit on DC (DHCP on router is disabled)
    >> Correct, no other device is configured to provide DHCP service other than DC and DHCP is currently running on DC
    7. NIC settings in DC points to itself (loopback address 127.0.0.1)
    >> Are you sure this is still correct and does apply to Server 2012? I am reading articles stating that it should be the servers own IP but local loop or should this be added as alternate DNS in addition to the servers own IP?
    8. Use IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS whenever you change DNS settings.
    >> OK, that was not done every time I changed some settings but I can do that next week. Reboot alone would not suffice, correct?
    9. Test your system with dcdiag.
    >> See result below
    10. Share your findings.

  • How to install Windows Updates on a 2012 Domain Controller w/Group Policy Settings

    Hello All,
    I'm having an issue installing Windows Updates on my Windows Server 2012 Standard with AD DS role, acting as a backup DC.
    I have Group Policies setup for the Domain Controllers to download updates from my WSUS server but not to install them. When I go to my Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller, I can install updates via the "Install Updates and Shutdown". That
    option doesn't show up on the 2012 server. I can see from my WSUS server and the event viewer that the updates are being downloaded to the 2012 server........just no option for me to install the updates.
    Am I just missing something or will I need to change the way my Group Policy is setup to allow installs and/or downloads? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Tony

    So I've totally removed the GPO settings for configuring updates on the Default Domain Controllers OU and I can get the Windows Server 2003 Server to get updates from Windows Updates, but the 2012 Server still won't show me how to download or install any
    updates. It just states on the log-in screen that there are "Windows Updates Sign in and install important updates".
    Well guess what Microsoft! I've signed in and still don't see where I can install updates!!!
    I guess because you've set AU=3.
    There doesn't seem to be much documented in depth about AU/WUAgent (not in the history of forever), but Lawrence and others in the WSUS forum do cover a lot of related question about the agent and also GP settings.
    Lawrence has blogged a lot of detail about the registry settings which are available for AU/WU, and how some of those settings are not practically of any use since WinXP.
    So, even though your question isn't about WSUS, the WSUS forum is a great place to visit for help for WUAgent etc.
    Anyway, "where can I install updates?" :
    on the Start screen, Search for "Windows Update"
    or
    Settings charm
    Change PC Settings
    Update and Recovery
    Windows Update
    or
    Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update
    Some further (light) discussion on the "new" behaviour:

  • Unknown Error when starting the Group Policy Editor

    On Windows 8.1 Professional, I opened the "Edit group policy" from the control panel and also tried to start gpedit.msc from an elevated CMD prompt. In both cases I get the following error message:
    In English: Failed to open GPO. You may not have appropriate rights. Details: Unknown Error
    There it is again - this dreaded "Unknown Error" message - telling me absolutely nothing about the cause of the problem.
    In the past I have been able to launch the GPE on that machine without problems. I can absolutely not remember having messed around with the system files or registry settings. So there is no suspicious thing I could have done to break something. I had a
    look at all copies of the GPEDIT.MSC in an editor but none of them looked broken in any way.
    I startet C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MMC.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\GPEDIT.MSC using the debugger of Visual Studio and paused execution after the error dialog had poped up. I got this call stack:
      gpedit.dll!ReportError(struct HWND__ *,unsigned long,unsigned int,...)    Unknown
      gpedit.dll!CComponentData::Load(struct IStream *)    Unknown
      mfc42u.dll!CWinApp::ProcessShellCommand(class CCommandLineInfo &)    Unknown
    I had configured the debugger to break on all exceptions but as you see yourself, MMC is an MFC 4.2 app that doesn't use exceptions.
    Since I get no access to the symbols of gpedit.dll, can anybody please tell me which conditions - i.e. problems - in Load() are handled by simply returning E_FAIL? What could be wrong with my machine?

    Hi,
    Consider the corrupted local policy files and system files, please try these steps:
    Step 1: clear local GP by running these commands:
    RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers"
    RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"
    gpupdate /force
    Step 2: To scan system files by running this command as admin:
    SFC /SCANNOW
    Andy error, please post back the CBS.log
    Then, restart the computer to check the results.
    Also, the event log (Open local event viewer) will show something related to this issue, please check event under
    Windows log\Application and Applications and services log\Microsoft\Windows\Grouppolicy, post back if you find any error about this issue.
