Hide Display Settings not applied in User GPO

Hello,
I am trying to hide the display settings via a GPO so folks can't change the resolution. I set the "Disable the Display Control Panel" setting to enable, but users can still go to the Control Panel and change the display settings. Other parts of
the GPO are applying, like the Ctrl+Alt+Del settings. The GPO has the loopback function set to replace. From my understanding, that should force all user settings in that GPO on everyone who logs into the computer, whether they are in that OU or not.
Some settings apply, just not the Display settings. Is there something else I have to enable to get that working?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
It's been a while. How is it going? If it still doesn't work out, we can run command
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result to check this. Note: to collect computer part group policy settings, we need to run the command with administrative privileges.
In addition, regarding troubleshooting group policy issues, the following thread can be referred to as reference.

User Group Policy Settings not applied to new user profiles at first logon

Good Afternoon,
We have an issue that occurs to a new user when they first log on to their machines. They log on and a new profile creates from the Default User Profile. We can see that a number of our Group Policy Settings applied as "User Configuration" are
not applying.A log off and back on is required before the policies apply.
Any thoughts to this behaviour please?
Regards

Hi,
How about your problem now? How many system encounter this problem? Is all policy couldn't be applied? Is there any feedback when using gpresult to check policy applied status?
As Group Policy applies after user identity authentication, generally speaking, user logoff and back doesn't helpful with this problem.
When this problem occures, have you checked event log if it identify this problem?

Ie11 administrative template settings not applied

2008 R2 domain with mostly windows 7 clients running ie8. upcoming project to upgrade them to ie11.
I copied the inetres.admx and inetres.adml files from the PolicyDefinitions folder on a windows 8.1 PC with ie11 and pasted them into the central store.
I created a new GPO that configures "access data across domains" to "disabled" from user configuration/policies/administrative templates/windows components/internet explorer/internet control panel/security page/internet zone.
I logged into four test machines with the same user account.
windows 7 with ie8
windows 7 with ie9
windows 8 with ie10
windows 8.1 with ie11
all four machines show this setting correctly Disabled with my GPO as the winning GPO in RSOP, but *only* the ie8 machine properly shows this setting as Disabled in its Internet Settings. the ie9, ie10, and ie11 machines all have the setting Enabled in their
Internet Settings.
full disclosure: there is an old-school Internet Explorer Maintenance GPO in place that sets this to Enabled. but in theory, that GPO should only affect the ie8 and ie9 machines, right? and yet the ie8 machine is the only one getting the correct
setting from my new administrative template GPO.
is there an easy way in GPMC to tell if i'm actually working with the ie11 version of inetres.admx or not? some setting that's new for this version?

ARRRGHHH!!!
found it. *somebody* set up a Computer Settings GPO applying these same administrative template IE settings to all workstations. I'm going to guess this GPO was set up prior to my arrival at this job in 2005 because I don't remember doing it, and
it would never have occurred to me to put these settings on the machine side--as evidenced by the fact that i've only been looking at the user side in RSOP during this whole thread. the IE settings in this machine GPO also match up with the settings
in the old IEM GPO we've been using, so it appeared as though IEM was configuring everything.
thanks everybody for your time and your help.

Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

Hi
I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
Thanks Nigel

Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

Folder Display Settings Not Saving

Searched forums with no luck, anyone run into this problem?
I have a user who likes to set up folders in his GroupWise 2012 client (on Windows XP) to show To and From columns as the first two columns in his folder view. When he changes a folder and saves the changes in the Properties/Display/Custom Settings, everything looks fine. The next day when he gets into his client and goes to the folder he changed, the changes (adding the To/From columns) are gone. The really strange thing is they are only gone "most of the time", at other times the changes stick and do not have to be redone. User has found nothing consistent about why changes are sometimes forgotten and other times remembered.
Thanks ahead for any ideas.

When saving the changes, instead of taking the default name of <Folder
Custom Settings> try changing the name to something like <Folder Custom
Settings2>. While I haven't seen this with the 2012 client, I have
seen it with GW8 and earlier and usually saving the display settings
with a different name would get the changes to "stick."
Also if this is just the 2012 client and not 2012 SP1, you could try
upgrading to the SP1 client.

6303i - display settings not saved!

Hello - I have updated my 6303i to the latest firmware from the nokia site.
Everything works fine but now any chance I make to my display settings (e.g. wallpaper) are not saved, i.e. the change is being populated until the next reboot of the device. Once I rebooted the device, all my display settings changes are lost and e.g. I am back with a device with no wallpaper.
Any idea what is going on?
thanks

The problem came back a while after installing 10.10.2.
However, it does seem to have been fixed by 10.10.3. Hooray.

Display settings not saving

I have just bought a Touchsmart 14-n055sa and I'm having problems with linking my laptop to my tv using the HDMI lead. When I choose the "duplicate" option in display settings, I get a message saying that it is unable to save my settings. I have contacted Microsoft who have told me that I need to download some drivers, but I'm not sure which drivers to download. Anyone got any ideas??

Object-level display settings not working in CS5

I can't change display settings at an object level in an InDesign document, if I want to change display settings it will only work at the document level. If I try to change at object-level nothing happens. This is on a high-spec Windows 7 64bit with Nvidia GeForce 470, with up-to-date software & drivers, running InDesign 7.0.2.

Since I can't reproduce the problem here, at least so far in limited testing, I don't know where to point you or what might be affecting the frames in question. Can you copy a few of these frames onto a new page, verify that the problem still exists, then zip the page (you can delete the images, just leave the frames), and post it on a server someplace like YouSendIt.com, then post a link here?
It might not be something that you can fix except by replacing the frames. If that's the case, it might be possible to script the replacement.
Oh, I just thought of one other test. Have you tried cutting the image itself, using the direct select tool, and pasting into a new frame? that also will help isolate the problem as the frame.

AcroRead.mst settings not applied in installation

Hello,
I downloaded Adobe reader 11, dutch (AdbeRdr11000_nl_NL.exe) and extracted it:
AdbeRdr11000_nl_NL.exe -nos_oc:\temp\temp1\files\2 -nos_ne
Then I opened the .MSI file with the Adobe customization wizard and changed some settings (Eula, updates etc).
After that I saved it and AcroRead.mst was created.
Then on the client (logged in as Administrator) I copied all the files in c:\temp and entered:
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" /quiet
Adobe reader gets installed and I can open it but the changes from the customization wizard are NOT applied.
When I start adobe, I get the EULA and the product updates are still configured as automatic.
I tried with other settings and full path names like these:
msiexec.exe /i "c:\temp\adobe\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="c:\temp\adobe\AcroRead.mst" /quiet
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /quiet
msiexec.exe /i /qn AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst
msiexec.exe /i "AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /q TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
But the result is the same, Adobe reader is installed but without the changed settings.
Could someone help with this please ?
I don't know anymore what to do.
thanks.

Copy the examples from http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/cmdline.html#command-line-exa mples so that you don't have to try random cmd lines. For example, quotes are only used around property params.
Enable logging, and if you still have problems, post you cmd line and log.

Connection settings not applied

We have a X60s that has configured several connection profiles. On the wireless broadband it is not applying the network settings correctly. We have set WINS-server, lmhosts and Netbios in the adapter and the profile to the correct settings. But when it connects it removes all this settings from the adapter. Other settings like printers are applyed correctly.

[solved][laptop-mode-tools] hard drive power settings not applied

I've used the laptop-mode-tools now for quite some time. However, recently the power management settings are not applied anymore. Possibly since updating to systemd...
My laptop-mode.conf looks as follows:
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1
# Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=254
LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
However, even after doing a systemctl restart laptop-mode-tools.service I always get
$ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 96
Setting it manually works:
$ sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)
APM_level = 254
$ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 254
Of course, the settings are lost upon rebooting in this case.
Any idea where the problem could be?

I apologize if it is bad style to answer to a post marked as [solved] but:
Same problem here!
HDParm-settings are not applied on boot by LMT.
laptop-mode.conf:
# Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive power management settings?
# Set to 0 to disable
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto"
# Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=100
LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=200
NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
# hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 96
Any ideas or solutions on this so far?
And why is this post marked as 'solved'?
edit:
1.) manual set hdparm-settings survive reboot but not suspend!
2.) no difference between CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto" or "1"
3.)
# systemctl status laptop-mode

Display settings not reatained

I'm runing my thinkpad with dual monitors when docked, and it doesn't retain the resolution I set for either monitor when the system is restarted. Is there a way I can set a mandatory display resolution for both monitors?

Page Portlet Settings Not Propagating to User Pages

Portal 9.0.2.6; Windows
We upgraded to this version a few weeks ago, and we're still ironing out the kinks. We have quite a few pages that are exposed as portlets. I've edited (not customized) the page portlet settings, selecting specific regions of the page to display.
When I spot check user's home pages, however, only the portlet headings show with no content. I've tried using the Reset to Defaults button in the customize form, but it doesn't work. Also, I imagine I'll have the same problems with any page-source portlets our users have added to their pages.
Is there a sure-fire way to do the following:
- Set the regions of a page to display when viewed in a portlet on a global level; and,
- Propagate these regions throughout our entire user base
Thank you for all the help!
Mary

I was able to figure out setting the global display on the default pages, but I'm still stymied at how to set the display for the page portlets for user customizations. In instances where users have added a page portlet, only the portlet header is displayed. I've done the following to try to fix the situation:
- Deleted and regenerated the page portlets
- Refreshed the repository
- Refreshed the display for individual user pages
Nothing seems to work. This is a major showstopper for us: we are scheduled to go "live" with the 9.0.2.6 version on Friday, and we do not want to ask users to recustomize their pages.
Windows; 9.0.2.6
Thanks for all the help!
Mary
