I get a Group Policy Disk Quota failure at every system start

This is very long, my apologies
I asked this question about a month ago and then had some medical problems so I'm starting over again.
Whenever I start my system I get a message on the screen that the system is trying to run Group Policy for Disk Quotas.  To my knowledge I've never set a disk quota policy and I can't find any indication that one is currently set.  I freely admit
that I could be responsible for this.  I might have done something in the early days of the system because it wasn't happening for the first month or two.
This time I did more reading and found a procedure on TechNet at:
"http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749336(WS.10).aspx" which led me step by step through the procedure, although I still can't make sense of the results.
So far I've verified that there are no policies set and that all the hard drives (3) have the Disk Quota bit 'disabled'.  I did this as 'Administrator'.
The results from the TechNet procedure turned out to be quite long but I'm listing it here in hope that someone in the community will be familiar with this problem and be able to use the information to figure out the problem. 
Here are the results:
From: TechNet Group Policy Testing
( "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749336(WS.10).aspx" )
1 - Troubleshooting using the Group Policy operational log
      a - Determine the instance of Group Policy processing
           (Before you view the Group Policy operational log, you must first determine 
           the instance of Group Policy processing that failed.)
My ActivityID from the Group Policy operational log = C87E5BC2-FD21-4794-B678-787AB587D8D5
2 - Create a custom view, via a query, of the Group Policy instance
My resultant query:
<QueryList><Query Id="0" Path="Application"><Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational">*[System/Correlation/@ActivityID='{C87E5BC2-FD21-4794-B678-787AB587D8D5}']</Select></Query></QueryList>
3 - Results of running the query from step 2 are listed below, in chronological order, including the complete 'detail' sections from each event.

Did you ever have luck tracking this down?  Im getting this error and have no clue where it is coming from.  I have not enabled gp disk quotas, but I do have a network share on a domain member server that has quotas attached to each users folder. 
I removed the quotas and still get this error when I manually perform a gpupdate.

  • DISK BOOT FAILURE: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK....

    Hi
    I have exhausted two full days on the following problem so I would greatly appreciate some help. The problem I am experiencing is that the disk will not boot on its own. I receive the "DISK BOOT FAILURE: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK...." error when starting up. I have run chkdsk, i have run Western Digital Diagnostics for Dos (quick test) and no problems come up with the drive. I have also jumpered pins 5 and 6 to force the drive to run at SATA-I speeds. Now here's the curious part: The disk boots up and functions absolutely perfectly IF and ONLY IF, the bios is set to boot from my IDE drive. Now on the IDE drive I have a boot.ini file set up to allow me to boot the SATA drive instead. Using this work around (i.e. boot from IDE, select SATA drive from boot menu) the drive seems to work just fine. However if i change the bios back to boot from the SATA drive (and therefore use its own boot.ini) I receive the error again and the boot will not continue.
    Here is my set up:
    MSI K8T Neo2-F v2.0 motherboard (with latest BIOS).
    Athlon 64 X2 4200+ dual core CPU
    1024GB DDR 400 RAM
    1 Western Digital 120GB IDE HD running on primary master.
    1 Pioneer DVD-108 DVD-RW running on secondary master.
    1 Western Digital 250GB (WD2500KS) running on SATA1.
    Nividia GeForce 6800 running on AGP.
    M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS PCI
    Originally the system was as above without the new WD2500KS drive. I then bought the new SATA drive and installed windows to it with the intention of clearing windows from the original IDE and making it a storage drive. The above workaround is how I completed installation of Windows XP and installed my other programs, otherwise when rebooting during installation the disk would fail again.
    Another issue is that Windows will NOT designate the SATA as drive C. When disconnecting the IDE, the SATA will become "c:" but as soon as the IDE is plugged back in, it immediately claims "c:" again and the SATA becomes "d:". This is ascertained from running the Recovery Console and using 'map' for example. It is important that I get this to "c:" as I have programs which appear to look for files by an absolute path and will not find them on "d:".
    I have also tried to 'fixmbr' and this is the only time I have seen any curious message. Using the workaround the disk works fine. But when I tried to 'fixmbr', the system warned that the disk had a non-standard boot record (or something to that effect). But in any case, boot seems fine so long as we're not booting it directly. 
    Finally, I should confirm that the BIOS is set to run the SATA in IDE mode and not SATA (although as a sanity check I have run it in RAID and the result is the same).
    I have no idea at this stage whether the problem lies with the SATA drive or the motherboard. I have sent a copy of this to WD "for further troubleshooting", and am posting a copy here for any advice on the mobo side of things.
    Many thanks

    Thank you for your reply. You are right, I've just resolved the problem today and discovered that this was the case.
    To close the topic and leave advice for anyone else facing similar difficulties I will sum up the progress since the initial post.
    Having tried absolutely everything else, I thought "what happens if i make this sata c:?" so I decided to edit the registry and force a drive letter change to ensure that my SATA was "c:". After having done this the SATA for the first time successfully booted to the boot menu! However when loading up into Windows it kept hanging. So next I thought all I need to do is a repair install now, I disconnected the IDE to leave the SATA only and attempted this. Unfortunatley the repair install also kept hanging. The Microsoft support page detailing how to force the drive letter change does warn that doing so can mess everything up unless the problem occurred in some specific circumstances.
    So a new install was in order. I hooked up the IDE again and booted from it, backed up all my files to the IDE, and then disconnected it again. Then booted from a Western Digital diagnostics disk and zero filled the SATA - this was more for my own sanity so as not to worry about dodgy MBR's and what not. Then booted from WINXP CD and formatted and reinstalled fresh.
    Install was successful.
    Hooked up IDE externally to dump back my backed up files. Then deleted the IDE's partition and formatted it. Powered down, connected the IDE internally again - booted from SATA successfully (now on c:)... the IDE was no longer recognised as a "system" disk in Disk Manager, so I gave it a drive letter and hey presto we're business again!! One SATA system disk on drive c: and one IDE storage drive!
    SHORT VERSION: If you are adding an SATA drive to an IDE set up, and want the SATA to be your OS disk, unhook all the IDE's first... if the target drive is not in isolation when installing Windows, all kinds of problems can ensue which are very difficult to correct after the install.

  • I just installed Lion and the newest version of Logic express 9 (9.1.5) and every time i playback audio I get this error message:  [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) . Never had any issues before now...

    I just installed OSX Lion (10.7.2) and updated to the newest version of Logic express (9.1.5) on a macbook and every time I playback audio I get this error message:  [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) The Sudden Motion Sensor may have parked the hard drive head, or the disk performance is not sufficient to read or write all audio tracks, or the system was not able to process all data in time]
    Never had any issues before now... any ideas?

    Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
    You'll have to setup the program again.
    cheers

  • Need help in setting up Group Policy for same user in local system and Terminal server

    Hi All,
    Currently our remote users are using our network using VPN client over internet.
    They are generally at their home computer and doing VPN as they have to work only in one RDP server for application.
    We actually have a OU created for these RDP users and assign then some strict policy like they can not use any other .exe,they can not user any explorer ,they can not even use windows explorer when they are on RDP they just use one exe of their application.
    Now what my management want is they want their home computers in Domain and want them to login via their same credentials they are using for RDP but they don't want them to restrict in their home computers with any strict policy.
    Now my confusion is how can I configure different policies for same users or same OU.
    Can any one guide me please...

    you can achieve this fairly easily with group policy.
    create an OU and put your remote desktop servers in that OU.
    configure both user and computer policies in a group policy and link it to that ou.
    you need to enable loopback mode - you may want it in merge or replace depending on your other policies you have. Probably replace though I would guess. this is set in the computer configuration > admin templates > system / group policy section.
    now remove the policy you have currently setup for your users on the users OU containing the rdp users. If you want you can move these users back to your main users OU.
    when your users login to the RDP server the settings in the user section of the GPO linked to the RDP Servers OU will apply.
    when the user logs in to their own computer the policies from the user OU and computer OU will apply - but not the more restrictive RDP OU.
    hope that makes sense.

  • How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

    I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    How about disk space for Applications?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Why do you want to partition that disk?
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

  • The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused th e Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly.

    Hi all,
    Having an issue with the shortcuts Group Policy extension applying to our Windows 7 machines. It was working until last Wednesday and since then users get a Group Policy Client service error when logging in.
    We have narrowed it down to the shortcuts extension, if the extension is disabled then a user can log in, if enabled and empty then the following error comes up. With all the investigation we have done so far it seems as though something on the client is
    making this happen.
    We have –
    Copied the original policy
    Exported and imported the policy
    Deleted all the shortcuts
    Deleted all the shortcuts and created a brand new shortcut
    And the same thing happens. Only if you right click on the Shortcut Extension and select disable then the user can log in
    When running Gpupdate /force we get the following error 
    The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused the Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly. To prevent further failures inthe
    Group Policy Service, this extension has been temporarily disabled until after the next system restart. Group Policy settings managed by this extension may no
    longer be enforced until the system is restarted. The vendor of this extension should be contacted if this issue recurs.

    Has anyone come across this before?

    Hi Dejul,
    How is the issue going? Does this issue happen to all Windows 7 clients? I am not sure this can be helpful but we can give it a try to install the following hotfix.
    Some Group Policy preferences are not applied successfully on computers that are running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979731
    Besides, please make sure that our clients are patched or updated to the latest.
    An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

  • Group Policy Deployment Acrobat Standard XI Version 11

    I was able to successfully create a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Group Policy that would be able to distribute the Adobe Reader Application using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I tried to use the same procedure from the Adobe Acrobat Standard 11 download from the adobe licensing site and was unable to get the Group Policy to work. The error message that I am getting is...
    The install of application Adobe Acrobat XI Standard 11.0 from policy  Deploy Adobe Acrobat 11 failed. The error was : %%1603
    This is the procedure that I created for deployment of Adobe Acrobat XI using Group Policy.
    How to create a group policy deployment of Adobe Acrobat XI
    Overview:
    This procedure covers the steps needed to create a group policy that will deploy the Adobe Acrobat installation.
    Requirements
    •    Windows 2008 Group Policy
    •    Adobe Acrobat Customization Wizard
         o    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.00/misc/CustWiz11000_en_US.exe
    •    Adobe Acrobat XI (Version 11)
         o    download from adobe account
    Procedure:
    1.    Download the Adobe Acrobat XI package.
    2.    Extract the contents of the Adobe Acrobat XI package.
    a.    Type msiexec.exe /a AcroStan.msi
    b.    Click Next
    c.    Put in the Network Location Share where everyone can extract the installation.
    d.    Click Install
    e.    The package will then extract to the network location as indicated above.
    f.    Click Finish, once the installation has completed.
    g.    Open the Adobe Customization XI Wizard, and customize the package by selecting the AcroStan.msi file. 
    h.    Customize the AcroStan.MSI installation file   
    i.    Default viewer of PDF files: Make Acrobat the Default PDF Viewer
    ii.    Remove previous versions of Acrobat
    iii.    Run Installation: Silently
    iv.    If reboot is required at the end of installation: Suppress reboot
    i.    Shortcuts: Remove the desktop Shortcut
    j.    Online and Adobe Services: Disable Product Improvement Program: checked.
    k.   Generate Transform File
    i.    Click Transform > Generate Transform File
    ii.   Create an Setup.Ini file in the folder of the Distribution Package.
    iii.  Name the Transform File something useful like “CompanyConfigs”.
    3.    Create a Group Policy to deploy the software package. It is usually best to have a group policy for each software installation package.
    a.    Update the Domain Default Policy with Always install with elevated privileges. This will allow all software deployment packages to install. 
    i.    Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Installer > Always install with elevated privileges : Enabled.
    b.  Create a Group Policy to enable Windows 7 Verbose Mode
    i.    Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Verbose vs normal status messages : Enabled.
    c.    Create a Group Policy for the Software Installation
    i.     Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings
    ii.    Right click and select New > Package
    iii.   Click the AcroRead.msi
    iv.   Click Advanced
    v.    Click the Modifications Tab and click Add
    vi.   Optional: Click the Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management.
    Note: This setting can be used to uninstall the application if the group policy ever changes in that the application should be removed.
    vii.    The package is now created …
    4.    Test the Client in a Virtual Machine
    a.    Go to a windows client and run “gpupdate /force”.
    b.    The system will then respond that it needs to restart the computer.
    c.    Type Yes, and allow the computer to reboot.
    d.    If Group Policy is not setup to allow for verbose messages in Windows 7 then the user will just see “Please wait…”, if verbose message is enabled the user will see “Installing Adobe Acrobat…”.
    Can someone please tell me what I am missing to get the group policy deployed? It has the same permissions as the Adobe Reader folder and I have done everything exactly the same, except that Adobe Standard has the license number, and owner information included in the Transform file (.mst).
    Thank you.

    Your case isn't unique. We've heard this a lot. While Acrobat has a small, very small percentage of settings available in the ADMX files,
    in case you don't know, PolicyPak software has a solution to manipulate, basically, near 100% of the settings in Acrobat Reader and Professional.
    You're welcome to check out how it works. These videos are for Acrobat X, but there is also tempaltes in the download for XI.
    Here are links to the pages with full how-to videos:
    http://www.policypak.com/products/manage-acrobat-reader-with-group-policy.html
    and
    http://www.policypak.com/products/manage-acrobat-x-pro-and-acrobat-x-standard-using-group- policy.html
    You can be up and running in 20 minutes, but note, it's NOT a template.. PolicyPak is full application management and lockdown system.

  • Group Policy Client service does not start

    Hi,
    As soon as I (administrator on my PC) logon to Windows 7, I get a message saying that the Group Policy Client service failed to start. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error even though the dependencies are very much up and running..
    Below is the error message I get in the notification area as soon as I logon
    Failed to connect to a windows service
    Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents stndard users from logging on to the system.
    As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond.

    I FOUND SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!
    The crash of your computer caused that - you are absolutely right!
    I had this issue on my laptop since November, and it really bugged me.  I sifted through the event log and found the pattern of events that preceded the issue, and, probably, caused it.
    In short, the pattern is as follows: Windows updates run automatically as scheduled, and when reboot is initiated after the updates are finished, the computer crashes (probably during reboot sequence).  When it boots up, it reports that the last shutdown
    was unexpected, and the issue begins to occur.
    I spent 2 days trying to dig out a solution from the Internet, to no avail, until I came across
    this page.  It doesn't say anything about this particular problem, but it gives more information about SVCHOST process that starts many services, including Group Policy Client.  It looks like during reboot a vital registry settings were lost during
    crash and Group Policy Client "don't know" how to start.  Let me explain:
    There are two places to look in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path should contain
    gpsvc key (a folder), which is responsible for service parameters and configuration.  I found that the key was intact, so, you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SVCHOST This is the most important path you should look into, as it must contain the keys and values referred in the key #1.  Below are descriptions what must be present
    there.
    There must be Multi-String value called GPSvcGroup. My laptop was missing it.  So, you should create multi-string value named
    GPSvcGroup and assign it value GPSvc.
    Next, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key normally should be there, but, again, it was missin on my laptop.
    Then open newly-created GPSvcGroup folder and create 2 DWORD values:
    First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0x00003020 (or 12320 in decimal)
    Second is called CoInitializeSecurityParam and it must have value of 1.
    Once you complete all steps above, reboot the computer and the problem will be fixed.
    Video walkthrough for those who are not very technical is here: http://youtu.be/4m5KEmckWK4
    I am so relieved I was able to fix it, and hope this will help others with the similar issue.

  • Windows 8 and IE10 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy

    We have recently introduced a couple of Windows 8 computers in our network, and we are having issues applying the Internet Explorer Proxy Server settings.
    We use a Microsoft TMG 2010 server as our proxy server for accessing the internet.
     We have been using a GPO with the following settings to automatically configure our Windows 7 computers running IE9 with the appropriate Proxy settings:
    User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Connection/Proxy Settings
    “Enable Proxy Settings” : Checked
    “Address of proxy” : server.domain.local
    “Port” : 8080
    “Use the same proxy server for all addresses” : Checked
    “Exceptions” : Here we have a list of several internal or partner sites that should not be proxied.
    This GPO has worked beautifully for our Windows XP and Windows 7 users with IE 7, 8 and 9.
     Now with Windows 8 and IE10, this no longer works. 
    I’ve therefore added a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller to the network, and using GPMC on that new DC, I created a new GPO with the following settings:
    User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings\Internet Explorer 10
    Now, seeing as these are preferences, it’s a little different.  But, I’ve “checked off” the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN” as well as “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”. 
    Then I click on “Advanced” and setup all my proxy settings the way I would like them, including the proxy server name, port and exceptions list.
    When this new group policy gets applied to my Windows 8 PC, the only setting that gets applied is the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”. 
    It does not configure the name or port of the proxy server nor does it configure the exceptions list. 
    If I go back to the GPMC, and edit the new GPO, the settings are all there. 
    However, if I just view the settings from the main GPMC screen (without opening the GPO itself), 
    I don’t see all of those settings (again, only the one “Use a proxy server…”)
    What am I missing???

    Hi All, - (Revised Answer by myself)<o:p></o:p>
    I banged my head against the keyboard on this one for some time trying to get this group policy to apply.  I
    did every thing that was suggested, learning about the F6 and F7 keys to Green underline and Red underline the options required and not required.  I even gave in and used the registry settings and it still did not work.  It turned out that I had
    2 issues.  The first one is obvious and the second not so obvious, this is how it is setup:
    I have a 2012 R2 Standard DC with Windows 8.1 clients/workstations and IE 11.  As you are aware you must make
    sure that the following are underlined in green:
    Automatically detect settings - (but not ticked)<o:p></o:p>
    Use proxy server for your LAN<o:p></o:p>
    Bypass Proxy for local address<o:p></o:p>
    Next I made sure that the following had red dotted lines:
    Address<o:p></o:p>
    This still didn't work, so I went through my 'Do Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with' removed all
    of these and then re-added one by one until the problem materialized.  The first issue was when using wildcards I had added an entry with the following:
    http://domain.subdomain.com/*
    Then caused my proxy fields not to be applied, I re-added this just with:<o:p></o:p>
    http://domain.subdomain.com/
    <o:p>This next one is IMPORTANT.</o:p>
    I had these entries in a Word document of which I had copied and pasted from the entry box for 'Do
    Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with'.  As shown in the screen shot above provided by SVEN_BURGER I had very similar entries:
    http://domain.subdomain.com/;10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*
    Each time I copied and pasted the line (+ more) above the proxy field on the Windows 8.1 client
    be blank after using 'gpupdate /force' I then noticed that in my Word document the whole string was being seen as 1 URL due to the http part at the beginning, so I changed my entry to look like this:
    10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
    I again noticed that this section:
    http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
    Was being seen as one URL in my Word document.  To resolve this I had to add the URL's individually and
    apply and OK these before going back in and making the next entry.  So I ended up adding them all individually after separating the
    URL's in my Word document.
    I hope this helps.

  • "This program is blocked by group policy"

    Hi all.
    I have searched Google a fair bit on this but shockingly I just can't find an actual answer.  The Group Policy forum is where I should have started rather than finally come to :)
    I am no genius with GP, I use it in the most basic ways in very small orgs.  My users appear to all have the same problem, when they insert a removable media device that has software on it that might run or autorun, I get the "This program
    is blocked by group policy, contact your admin" message.  I don't believe this ccurs with removable media just as just plain USB storage sticks.  So far the two examples I know of are for an Internet providers USB broadband mobility stick, and
    another user that is using some Kodak products (SD card, camera, and even the Kodak CD I think). 
    Environment is 2008 R2, Win7 Pro workstations, all users are local admin on their machine.  All users are in the default Users container, and all computers are in the Computer container.  To my recollection I have never set a GPO that would directly
    or indirectly cause all users problems like this.  The only thing that has had indirect consequences that I know of in the past, was because we use many of the options available under Folder Redirection, including redirecting the Desktop.  In some
    cases, when a user has tried to launch an exe or what not that was on the desktop, it failed because it's trying to launch in truth on their user folder on the server, not really on the Windows Desktop.  I'm not sure if that might impact my current problem. 
    To start, where can I go to actually check GPO's for this?  Is this the Software Restriction Policy?  If so, which one governs, the one in User Configuration or Copmputer Configuration?  In both cases I went to GPMC and under both, it would
    say I had to go to the Actions menu to create a New Software Restriction policy.  I did so (just picking the item in the Actions menu), and the resutlt was some choices under the actual GPO now, none of which I've yet configured. 
    So, I need to torublesahoot this ut also to know where such a thing causing this error message would be set under normal circumstances.  Also, could antivirus cause this?  I can't see the error saying "group policy" if it did though. 
    Thank you very much. 

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting your issue in the forum.
    Based on your description, I suspect that maybe Software Restriction Policy has been configured in the domain. At this time, I suggest we could try to collect the following information to narrow
    down the cause of the issue.
    GPMC.log
    ==================
    a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
    b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select the proper
    user in the wizard)
    c. Right click 
    the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.
    Once we get the report, please check if the Software Restriction Policy has been configured and applied to the problematic computers and users. If so, please disable the policy setting to see
    if the issue persists.
    In addition, please try to refer to the following articles for detailed information about Software Restriction Policy and how to troubleshoot Group Policy problems.

  • About disk quota in win2008r2 server(AD)

    Hi,everyone:
          I have a question for help. In win2008r2 domain server, I want to set disk quota on each domain users.
    In default, when a user created, it belongs to Domain Users group, and disk quota applied. But if I add the user into Domain Admins group, disk quota does not apply, so is a user as administrator role is whom disk
    quota does not apply in AD?
    Also I have tested in local computer, administrator account(not "Administrator"), such as "admin", could
    be applied also. It seems that all users except Administrator account could be set disk quota limit. Why Domain Admins not? Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    What is the meaning about “disk quota does not apply”? Do you mean that disk quota cannot apply to users who member of administrators group? I have done a test, add a user to domain admin group, then disk quota can still apply to the user.
    In additional, quota limits are not applied to the Administrators local group.

  • Set group policy by computers

    I'm trying to separate computers by location so I've moved computers from the Computer Container to several OU's in the AD that have the name of each location. Now I'm trying to get a group policy to apply to each OU. How do I do that? Thanks in advance!

    First, if you have AD sites configured with subnets correctly in Active Directory Site And Services, you can assign GPO to AD site.
    If you have OU's configured already by locations, open GPMC.MSC, right click the relevant OU and choose LINK AN EXISTING GPO to each OU with the relevant GPO.
    This might help you:

  • Local group policy application issues

    I'm having some issues with applying local group policies using ZCM 11.2.3a. Basically, not all of the settings I've applied in the GPO are being applied to the PC.
    The setup is this:
    * Applying policies to Windows 7 Enterprise x64
    * User Group Policies are applied first, then Computer policies are applied. User policies seem to be applying correctly.
    * Security settings in the Computer Group Policy are applying correctly (eg, renaming the local administrator and guest account, displaying a message prior to the logon window).
    * The policies list in the ZCM agent properties reports that the policy has been successfully applied.
    * No settings in the 'Administrative Templates' section of the policy are applied to the PC.
    Checking in gpedit.msc, policies show that they're enabled. However if I run rsop.msc, there's no administrative templates section in the computer policy at all. If I run gpupdate /force, I also get errors for the computer configuration - 'The processing of Group Policy failed because of an internal system error'.
    This is a new policy package I've created from scratch within the past week.
    I've just now also gone and created a brand new test policy package, with one setting in admin templates configured, and one in security settings. This one has successfully applied correctly.
    Is anyone else seeing issues like this? It's not the first strange behaviour I've been seeing with ZCM policy application, and not the first policy package we've had that's become corrupted. I'm really starting to lose confidence in policy application via ZCM. Unfortunately, with no AD in our environment, I've got no alternative.

    We have the same problem.
    It does not occur on all clients. Only sporadically. Some settings are applied, some not.
    We also have ZCM 11.2.3a in use.
    Have you already opened a SR on this? Can you let us share the information? Perhaps an SR number so that we can attach ourselves?

  • Group Policy: Hiding or moving "my documents" folder

    Hello all. We have to distrbute the windows explorer as a
    ts/citrix-application to notebook users. They use it to copy files
    between their notebook and the file server. We use ZFD4 to control the
    citrix environment.
    We want to get rid of the "my documents" folder in the explorer
    application. The settings in the local group policy work fine for the
    desktop and start menu, but we didn't get the folder out of explorer.
    Second try was to move and rename the folder to a network location (user
    dir). Found the adm file from David Brightman to enable this
    functionality in lgp, but: How is the syntax for the path? Explorer
    reports errors, saying, it could not find the "my documents" folder on
    the specified path...
    Any ideas´, hints?
