Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded

Hi there,
Please can anyone instruct me on how to set up Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded. Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I was redirected by a forum user off the Microsoft Community forum.

Hi RocknRollTim,
Agree with Jason. Using a script will be a better option.
Just addition, for history of RDP Connections, please open Registry Editor and follow the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default. Please check if find MRU registry items where the name (or the IP address) of the terminal server is kept in.
Please also follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers. It contains
the list of all RDC (remote desktop client) connections that have ever been established from this computer.
When expand Server folder and select a node, you will see the UsernameHint key that show the name of the user connected by rdp.
Please back up registry items to avoid unexpected issues before any operation.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
Thank you for responding back Justin Gu and I agree with both you and Jason Miller that a script can easily achieve this task. Thank you all for your help.
Many thanks,
RocknRollTim

HT201272 Hello, I've downloaded music videos in the past and I found that I can download them from my "purchased list" and thought that I wouldn't have to pay for them again. However, I am being charged for some payments ...which I did not know.

I didnt know I'd be charged again for the items I have downloaded in the past. When I tried downloading some of them...it says that they are free.

See my response to your other post.

Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work

User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates
- Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Security/Trust Center/Trusted Locations
- Allow Trusted Locations on the network:
Enabled
- Trusted Location #1:
Enabled
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
Date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Allow sub folders: Enabled
The policy appears to apply to the client correctly by adding the following registry key and values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\security\trusted locations\location1
allowsubfolders: 1
date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
However, when you open Word Options/Trust Centre/Trust Centre Settings…/Trusted Locations
There are no trusted locations listed under ‘Policy Locations’
I have tried setting similar settings for setting the Shared Templates folder location and just like the trusted locations policy, the registry keys are created properly in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies however word doesn’t
seem to recognize these either.
This used to work flawlessly using the administrative templates for Word 2007 and 2010. Has anyone been able to get these policies to apply successfully, or know why office doesn’t recognize these settings from the Policies registry
Key?

This would have been an easy solution to the issue. Unfortunately it isn't the problem. This question was originally posted on another Microsoft site and
was transferred here and when it was transferred the path's changed from the original post:
\\server\sharedfodlername to //server/sharedfoldername. (I will edit the question to show up as it did in the original post) Not sure how that happened. This
is still an issue that I haven't been able to get working correctly.
As it turns out the 'New from Template' interface Word 2013 has developed is very bulky with large thumbnails and is not very customizable nor practical for an office
that has a large number of templates. Because I am unsatisfied with the display and performance of the 'New' template chooser I sought after a solution to change the way word creates a document from a template in another thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/how-can-you-change-the-display-of-templates-in/d49194b9-a6b4-4768-8502-7d7b50e9dd65 working through this issue with Jay we were able to develop
some VB script with handles a very large number of templates in a list view and it works much faster than the built-in Word interface. The above thread is how I've worked around trying to define a shared template location and I am quite happy with it.

Group Policy not coming down on some machines

Environment:
Client 4.83SP1
Windows 2k SP4
Netware 5.1
eDir 8.7.3
Zen 3.2
Symptom:
After several agonizing days of going through the TIDs and turning on
debugging and checking all file dates on the workstation in question, a
working laptop and the public folders on the servers I've come up with the
following but I don't know the cause:
The workstation in question (and there are sporadic workstations with the
same problem) finds and uses the Container Policy (ZEN3 version) then reads
the User Package but will not execute the binding orders of the Group
Policy. As a matter of fact, I turned on Group Policy logging (TID
10058023) and a file is never created. Also, the Group Policies subkey in
the "HKLM/Software/Novell/Workstation Manager". I turned on ZenPOL32
logging and compared my laptop which is working to the workstation in
question. First, they are not applying the policies in the same order (DLU
is always first, but after that, the order is hap-hazard). But, I also see
some sections that make me wonder why the workstation is giving up. These
files are huges so I'd rather not post in this, but I'll put the pieces that
are raising my eyebrows:
Workstation in Question has the following piece about the Group Policy
Package:
ENTER ZENGetPolicyPackageDN -- tree = EPSD_TREE

It appears that the workstation in question is having trouble resolving the
Effective policies. The laptop, on the other hand, has no such entries
anywhere in the log about effective policies.
If anyone has ideas I would love it. Uninstalling the 4.83sp1 client and
reisntalling did not help. I've DSREPAIR'd the tree several times with
Rebuild Operational Schema. WHen I uninstalled 4.83sp1 I checked the
registry and the Novell subkey was cleared out.
I'm burnt out on this one. If you want both log files, please post your
email address without the @ symbol and I'll fire them off to you.
Thanks in advance.

Here's the skinny on our situation.
1) We do not let the users update MS patches in our district. We do them
manually (still).
2) We are running the 4.83sp1 client on Win2k (have not got around to
upgrading to 4.90sp2). Our A/V had broke on 4.90 and we had to back it down
last year. So, XP machines are at 4.90sp2.
Win2k machine last had MS patches applied on 7/11/05 - this is a critical
point.
First, I discovered that the Policy Object in the tree was "corrupt" for
some of the 4.83sp1 clients. I'm betting all of them. Because the
zenpol32.dll was "seeing" the group policy objects but it was looking for a
zenpackage = effective in the log file. It was never initiating the
wmgrppol.dll to bring down and implement the group policies. Recreated the
policy object in the tree (not the Group Policies - reused the same folder)
and now the zenpol32.dll was operating properly but, still not getting the
NAL as the desktop. But, now the windows desktop was locking down but late,
very late. I would get the desktop and click on START and see the entire
start menu. Wait 10 seconds and secedit kicked in and now I had a
locked-down START menu.
Second, secedit appeared to be very delayed or wmgrppol.dll was having
trouble. I noticed this machine required 7 critical patches (one is the
genuine tool so really six patches). The last time patches were applied was
on 7/11/05. I noticed also that when I wanted to turn on secedit logging
(gpextensions registry keys) that even after a reboot there was no log file.
Apply the critical patches and now the NAL immediately works as the desktop
shell.
I worked on this problem for and entire work week plus some after hours
work.
Side note: Our XP machines with the 4.90sp2 client did not have a problem
seeing the Group Policy package in the tree. Only the 4.83sp1 client. So,
recreating the policy in the tree only helped the 4.83sp1 clients. Also, I
don't believe MS broke secedit in XP because they changed it to gpupdate.exe
so I'm betting it's a different configuration and the patches that broke
Win2k did not get applied to XP.
There is nothing on MS site that I could find about this nor does Novell
seem aware (or even care since it's 4.83sp1 and Zen3.2sp1). Maybe this post
will save somebody a lot of headache. If they keep MS patches up to date
they probably will never notice this problem unless they hit it over the
summer after MS released the secedit patch that broke it.
Cheers.

Please wait for the group policy client - shutting down issues

Hi
I have issues with shutting down machines. When machine is connected to company's LAN everything works fine. However, if machine is connected to VPN - Juniper NC - 1 hour or more it always hangs when it is shutting down. When I shut down the machine
(verbose mode on), first stage is:
Please wait for the system Event Notification service.
This ends exactly
after 3 minutes. Next stage:
Please wait for the group policy client windows 7
...is never timed out (even after few hours). Machine never shuts down.
In Application logs there are always these 4 events when machine is unsuccessfully shutting down:
6005: The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logoff).
4627: The COM+ Event System timed out attempting to fire the Logoff method on event class {D5978650-5B9F-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E} for publisher and subscriber . The subscriber failed to respond within 180 seconds.
The display name of the subscription is "ISensLogon2". The HRESULT was 80010002.
6006: The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> took 180 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logoff).
6005: The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logoff).
Sens is timed out after 3 minutes while there is no 6006 event for GPClient and machine is stuck there for ages (Please wait for the group policy client
stage). I noticed in System logs that machine always hangs if there is this error
5783: The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\server for the domain X is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\machine to \\server has been cancelled.
I made a group policy log and below you can see part of GPSVC log when machine is unsuccessfully shutting down:

I tried with signing out from VPN before shutting down machine, I even switched off WiFi but machine still hung. If i tried to get GP results before shutting down machine it takes ages and it is stuck in "Getting the user name" stage.
Gpupdate /force never updates policy (It stops at Updating Policy...). I tired with installing different hotfixes which did not resolve the issue. I never have any
issues with logging in, no GP scripts are applied when user is logging off or on, no roaming profiles. The only issue is when machine needs to be shut down.
I excluded 1 machine from GP and left it on VPN for a few hours, several times. It always shuts down successfully. I applied GP back one by one and the one which is presumably causing an issue is Avecto which adds admin rights when VPN application
starts (event 100):
Process started with admin rights added to token.
Command Line: "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Juniper Networks\Setup Client\JuniperSetupClient.exe"
Process Id: 5540

Product Name: Juniper Setup Client
Product Code: <None>

I guess there is a DNS issues when machine is on VPN which leads that GP cannot be applied / updated. Not sure if or why Avecto would have an impact on this. When machine is trying to shut down it still somehow thinks it is connected to DC. What
I also noticed are several explorer crashes while machine is on VPN.
Does anyone have same issues? All machines are Dell with Juniper NC (VPN).
Thanks,

Hi,
According to event log, Winlogon process takes a long time to handle logoff event. That's to say winlogon process is waiting for response to logoff.
According to your description after, this problem is most probably caused by Avecto. You can try to disable or uninstall it temporarily for test.
To make further troubleshoot with this problem, you can try to use WPT (Windows Performance Tool) to make troubleshoot.

Group Policy not populating Compatibility View List in IE 11

I am currently a domain admin in a large, multi domain controller environment. Our AD was much out of date (2000 mix mode) and we are currently updating it in steps (2003 Native at this point)
At the same time other technicians have started patch testing, moving us from IE10 to IE11. However, there seems to be one major catch so far. Users require access to a website that will only run properly in compatibility mode. This was true in IE10 and
is true in IE11.
As such, this website was set as a mandatory compatibility mode page in GPO (Administrative Tempaltes\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Compatibility View\Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites). This has worked fine for 8, 9, 10 for this site and
others.
However, it was not showing in compatibility mode in IE 11 it is showing in normal mode and breaks. The policy is applying normally and the list is accurate in rsop.msc. If the site is added to compatibility mode locally inside IE11 it works fine.
Our patch testers are all seeing the same problem. However, I have been unable to establish if it is just this site or others are affected (mostly it's old billing and intranet sites I don't have access to).
I'm not sure what the disconnect is.

Hi,
There are also more modes. The detailed information is below:
•Via X-UA-compatible meta tag: The webpage developer used a meta tag to specify a legacy document mode.
•compatible HTTP header: The web server has requested a legacy document mode via an HTTP header.
•Via local compatibility view settings: The site was manually added to the Compatibility View settings.
•Via the compatibility view list: The site is on Microsoft's Compatibility View list.
•Via intranet compatibility settings: The "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" box is checked in the Compatibility View settings.
please remove all website from "Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites" list.
Remember to run "gpupdate /force" command to apply the new group policy object.
Then open the websites, click F12 key, check their Document mode status.
Based on my test, this is also related with web itself. it will adjust status according to its design.

[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

GPO: CD and DVD: Deny write access prevents user from using their USB Pen drive, but other users or ok

My Users have secure pen drives that launch a CDROM partition with a secure logon app that decrypts the main USB mass storage element of the pen drive on successful logon. The problem I have is that users who install the usb pen drive cannot then
initialize the CDROM launcher app to input their password to access the mass storage element of the pen drive making it useless.
However, any other user that has the same type of pen drive who then plugs it in to the endpoint that already has the drivers installed is able to access their own pen drive or the other users pen drive (providing the know the password).
So I've isolated the problem being down to the presence of the GPO setting stated above on the Removable Storage Access Policy, and by not having this policy in place when a user installs the pen drive they have no issues, but I can't find a way to clean
up a user who is already broken even if I remove the GPO from that user, delete their local profile so that they logon as a new user (no roaming or other data) and use a variety of utilities such as USBOblivion to clear out the registry and file system of
the USB device and installation. When the original user logs back on and then installs the usb pen drive again they have the same issue, but no other users do. I have the same issue if I try this with an alternative user or admin as the first user after the
'clean up'. Everyone else can use the pen drive except the user that originally installed it when the GPO was in place.
If I move the user to a new endpoint or rebuild their endpoint then they have no problem being the installer of the usb pen drive and then using it since the GPO was removed, so what I need to know is what is it about the USB install and the GPO that
is tattooing in Windows somewhere and how do I remove it?

Hi,
In my opinion, this is probably not Windows GPO problem. To confirm the suppose, you can follow the path below to check GPO settings if there is any change after the software installed.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Removable Storage Access
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Removable Storage Access
These two policy manage system and current user Removable Storage access.
If there is no change with these policy, it would be better to contact the manufacture of the driver for further assistance.

Users not showing in Terminal Server Under Remote desktop services manager and Task Manager

Hi All,
I have a problem here in Terminal Server. I can not see the users logged in to Server but i know users are accessing the files and currently working.
1. From the Task Manager-- Show processes from all users displayed all the processes accessing by users.
2. From the Task Manager-- From Users Tab--No users list at all
3. From the Command Prompt- Query users-- No information
4. From the Remote desktop services Manager-- used with IP/Host name-- Still can not see the users list and processes. So i can not kill the session if needed.
Enviroment:
TS CALS 20 currently accessing 15 users
VM-WARE GUEST: 2008 RS Terminal Services/Remote Desktop services installed
Windows up to date-- Just updated last month
Problem is here for long time. Just couldn't find the time to trouble shoot.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have tried many steps, I suggest you to try below command line and power shell command if successful in your case. Please try below command with Admin access:
qwinsta /server:<servername>
To kill a session use rwinsta to delete the session specifying the ID number:
rwinsta /server:computer01 3
Here's the list of command line tools for Remote Desktop Or, you can use PowerShell:
Get-RDUserSession and Disconnect-RDUser
Please check the list of Power Shell command from
this link.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Regarding last 15 days User login details and transports

Hi guy's
If any one found the report to display all login detials for the perticula user with in last 15 days
like take a example.I want to enter my login name I want to see all login details (login time and logout time) and how many transports I have created like that for last 15 days ..
Please any one found SAP standard report or custom report or any tables if get data .pls help me.
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Sudhakar,
Fogot to wish you...Welcome to SDN.
Here is a sample code to get details of the transports of a user with a given date.
REPORT z2 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
tables: e070.
data: it_e070 like e070 occurs 0 with header line.
data: lin type i.
parameter: p_user like E070-AS4USER.
select-options: p_date for E070-AS4DATE.
start-of-selection.
select * from e070 into table it_e070 where AS4USER eq p_user and AS4DATE in p_date.
check not it_e070[] is initial.
describe table it_e070 lines lin.
sort it_e070.
loop at it_e070.
write: / it_e070.
new-line.
endloop.
skip.
write:/ 'Total hits:', lin.
Run this program as it is to have a better idea and then you can club it with the logic to get the login details of the user.

Vivek

Time bound policy :: CPSC Server down :: Re-triggering and Notification

I have some Service Requests which are triggered by Time bound policy that execute, say for eg; Power Up some servers. But during a scenario of CPSC server being down during the time of Time bound Service request triggering, none of the requests are triggered and also after the CPSC server is up again after few minutes past the triggering time. Is there a way to get notified if a Time bound policy is not triggered, like receiving an email?
Please let me know if there is any possible way to get notified during failure of time bound policy request triggering.
Thanks,
Anish

Hi,
According to event log, Winlogon process takes a long time to handle logoff event. That's to say winlogon process is waiting for response to logoff.
According to your description after, this problem is most probably caused by Avecto. You can try to disable or uninstall it temporarily for test.
To make further troubleshoot with this problem, you can try to use WPT (Windows Performance Tool) to make troubleshoot.

I have the latest version of Firefox. How do I clear my personal info and then clear the cache?

I have the latest version of Firefox. It is: Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729).
I got a page that said I needed to clear my personal information, then clear my cache. It said I could do that in the "tools" menu. The "tools" menu has no such option.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thats' all well and good, but FIREFOX crashes when I click on those links. I'm not doing it again. Heck with it.
Am going to TRY and get my old version of FIREFOX back.
If it were not THIS problem, I'm sure I'd be having another problem because I've had nothing BUT problems since I "updated" my browser, the way my neighbor says you are supposed to.
Thanks anyway, caldwell418

Possible bug: After using page setup in print preview it clears the preview screen and locks up the window (no visible widgets). I have to close the window from the title bar and start the print over.

On any page, select "Print->Print Preview". Once in the preview window, use the menu to select "Print->Page Setup". In the setup dialog box, click on the "Margins & Header/Footer". Modify some headers and footers. Then click on OK.
The preview window will either be cleared or become unresponsive. The only way to proceed is to close the preview window using the Windows close button in the top right hand corner. I must then start my printing over.
I found that I can work around this by first changing the page setup BEFORE going to print preview. However, this looks like a bug and it should be investigated and fixed.

Both printers? Or just the HP Photosmart C3100 series printer?

Group Policy failing intermittently on one of my servers

Have you checked the event logs to see if a specific thing is triggering it?
CMOS battery been changed (if the date/time is being reset this can be the cause)?
Or GPResult to check that what should be applied is being applied?

I have a server-2008 R2 box where Group Policy fails intermittently. The result is the server looses it's domain trust connection, exact error message is: Remote Desktop cannot verify the ID of the remote computer because there is a time or date difference....
I can reboot the server and it's fixed, but a month later it will have the same issue.
What can I look for to troubleshoot resolve, and what can I monitor to fix this? GP service? If the service is running & the interface, port, or bad cable, I will not be alerted. Can I configure some type of alert that tells me when GP replication with the domain controller has succeeded/failed?
