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?
Thanks Stefan

  • How to apply Software Restriction policy for specific user in local group policy object ?

    I am working on implementing user based software restriction policy programmatically for local group policy object.
    If i create a policy through Domain Controller,i do have option for software restriction policy in user configuration but in local group policy editor i don't have option for that.
    When i look for the changes made by policy applied from Domain Controller in registry, they modifies registry values for specific users on path HKEY_USERS\(SID of User)\Softwares\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\Codeidentifiers
    They also have registry.pol stored in SYSvol folder in Domain Controller. When i make the same changes in registry to block any other application, application is getting blocked.
    I achieved what i wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?  
    PS:- I am using Igrouppolicyobject API

    I achieved what I wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?
    You also can modify a registry programmatically based policy. Check this:

  • Is there a way to give a local user permission to add a local user using the local group policy editor?

    I need to find a way to have the local administrator of a Windows Server 2012 system grant a local user (non-administrator) the ability to add a user for the machine using the local group policy editor. The machine is not part of any Active Directory environment,
    this is strictly on the one machine.  In my situation it is not an option to just make the user an administrator. The idea is to give someone the right to add a user and have no other such administrative rights. I need to accomplish this using the
    Local Group Policy editor or the Group Policy Management Console if it is possible to do this outside of an active directory environment. This is not an assignment to learn how to use these tools and I am not even sure if it would even be possible though I
    need to either find a way or find proof that it is not possible using these applications.

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay reply.
    So did you want to non-admin user have the ability to add another user?
    As far as i know, we cannot add the user if we have no local admin permission, we will receive the error"Access denied".

  • ActiveX msi Flash Player 10.0.42.34 group policy deploy issue

    I have been deploying the flash player to our workstations since version 9.  We have a 2003 AD domain and XP SP3 workstations.
    I know that it is recommended to use the flash uninstall program to remove flash when installing a new version but I haven’t taken the time to work on that type of scripting for any install.  Any attempts to uninstall the previous versions of flash via group policy when deploying have never worked.  I had the same experience with java 1.5 jres…they would never uninstall via policy.
    I have had success so far with deploying the latest version to the workstations with a new policy while leaving the old policy applied until a few weeks have past when all the workstations have been updated.
    I am in the process of deploying Flash Player 10.0.42.34 to replace Flash Player 10.0.32.18
    My test deploy to my virtual XP test workstation worked with no problems.  The flash test paged detected the newer version and the correct version was in add/remove programs.
    I then did a test deploy to a production workstation and the software installed without errors (the group policy install went extremely fast so I knew something was wrong).  No errors were reported in the workstation application log.  However when you visited the flash test page no version of flash was detected.  I also checked in add/remove programs and the program icon was the windows installer icon instead of the normal red flash box….this has been associated with other installation issues in the past.
    I have tried this on 3 other production machines and experienced the same results.  My virtual XP test workstation has only had version 10.0.32.18 on it so I am guessing that having had the older versions of 10 on the production workstations is causing the problem somehow.
    I have had issues in the past, but nothing like this.  Looks like I may have been owned by adobe on this one.
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Sure , here is the url :
    http://www.forevermark.com/ja-jp/The-World-of-Forevermark-/Precious-Collection/
    On some machines , the Japanese text in the centre section appears very large. ..( see attached snapshot)
    We initially encountered this on the version prior to the 10.0.42.34 version.
    However even after the upgrading to 10.0.42.34 , the problem still persists .
    Thanks

  • 11.5.2.602 Group Policy Installation issues

    Consider the following scenario:
    BigCorp wants to deploy a limited amount of software to their MS Windows desktop service, such that they can provide a rich browsing experience at login after a machine is joined to the domain.  To facilitate this, they deploy browser plug-ins such as Flash and Shockwave using group policy software installation (GPSI).
    This is a sensible decision, as there are vendor provided MSIs available to use and it ensures that the software is easily managed (upgrades, removal etc)
    When attempting to deploy Shockwave v11.5.2.602 an incorrect repair of the MSI is triggered on first use of the software for each user.
    On a standalone, otherwise clean, Windows XP SP3 machine with IE7:
    1. Install the software as a user with the correct rights (AdminUser), using the MSI direct from Adobe. 
    2. Logout AdminUser and Login StandardUser
    3. Visit http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/  - At this point the MSI runs a repair and logs the following to the application event log:
    Event Type: Warning
    Event Source: MsiInstaller
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 1004

    *** Please note the path in EventID 1004 above (C:\Documents and Settings\AdminUser\Application Data\Adobe\) has been generated whilst logged in as StandardUser NOT AdminUser. ***
    This condition will always be true, since there is no read permission on another users profile for a standard user account.  Granting this right is not desirable in a roaming profile environment. This repair will be triggered for each and every user of the machine.
    Though this repair appears to be non-destructive and doesn't appear to inhibit successful removal, it is undesirable behaviour.
    Furthermore, and as other have mentioned, loading a shockwave item in a browser (IE7 in our case) also results in the following entry in the system event log:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: DCOM
    Event Category: None

    Happened while starting this command:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE" -Embedding
    We are keen to move to the latest version of Shockwave, for the obvious reasons, but these issues are going to make it difficult to get through our change management processes; as the package doesn't meet the requirements we have laid out for our user experiences.
    Can someone at Adobe comment on the reason for this undesirable behaviour and how it came about? Can we expect later versions of Shockwave to exhibit the same behaviour?

  • Group Policy Application Managment

    Hi,
    I am having one DC & ADC both are the virtual machines now one SAP Application is running in the domain and i want to give access only those user's who are in AD.  
    Kindly help me out or let me know the group policy how do i apply that.??? URGENT.

    HI
    You need to better post on SAP Forums however belwo are the high level,
    In SAP, you need to configure SSO integration with AD user account.
    Configure Logon PAD with SSO enabled,
    We cannot provide access to SAP via AD GPO and it needs to be done on SAP

  • Group Policy application frequency even if policy hasnt changed - Server 2012 R2

    Hi,
      I'm aware of the group policy refresh intervals which apply only if the policy has changed. If I remember correctly, Server 2003 applied policies every 16 hours even if they hadnt changed. A sort of "to be sure, to be sure" setting. Does
    this exist on Server 2012 R2 and is there a link with some doco that states this please?
    Thanks

    This is still true, but it applies only to "Security Settings" within
    all GPOs. I'm unaware of current docs on that.

  • EMET v5.1 ADMX Group Policy Template Issue - Default protection settings can't be disabled

    I am configuring EMET v5.1 (from 11/18/14) settings via GPO using the custom EMET admx template provided by Microsoft. I am able to enable all the EMET settings via GPMC and disable most of them, but I am not able to disable these 3 EMET setting via
    GPMC in a GPO:
    Default Protections for Internet Explorer
    Default Protections for Popular Software
    Default Protections for Recommended Software
    When configuring any of these 3 EMET GPO settings to disabled and pressing apply or OK, GPMC keeps it at Not Configured, it does not change to disabled as it normally would. I have never before seen this in GPMC, where you try to disable a setting and it
    doesn't change to disabled.
    Unless this is somehow intended by Microsoft for these 3 EMET GPO settings, I think that this is a glitch/bug in the EMET GPO Template or the way that it works in GPMC.
    Looking for some Guidance from a MS Rep to replicate this issue or anyone else who can confirm if they also see this issue. I have tested on multiple Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 Update 2 Workstations, with GPMC loaded and the latest EMET ADMX file loaded
    from the EMET client on 11/18/14. I have tested this in 2 separate domains, Note that we do not have Central ADMX Stores in either domain.

    I had a similar requirement as yours and found that we were able to get around in a simpler method then what was listed here.  What we did was set GPO Preferences Registry changes which would then override the previously set EMET ADMX settings set from
    another global GPO.
    To be specific we had some thirds applications which were add-ons to Microsoft Excel, and the EMET was preventing the application from talking to Excel.  So for the users that use this application we have a GPO which Does the following in the Preferences
    section:
    Action: Replace
    HIVE: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Key path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EMET\Defaults
    Value name: Excel
    Value type: REG_SZ
    Value data: *\OFFICE1*\EXCEL.EXE -Caller -MandatoryASLR

  • Problem Pushing Printer Preferences through Group Policy

    Most of the time, networked printers that we push through group policy preferences show up just fine on our clients (Windows 7). About 1 in 10 computers fail however, and it's driving me up the wall! The computer that fails is not consistent, meaning I can
    reboot a computer and the printer then shows up correctly. It may not, however, a week later. Fairly random. Looking through the application event log, I uncovered this:
    The user 'myprinter' preference item in the 'mygrouppolicy {7EDE8A14-773C-4E43-93AE-050240E0B204}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x800706ba The RPC server is unavailable.' This error was suppressed.
    Again, this error does not occur all the time, though if I reboot a large group of computers, it will definitely show up on 1 or 2 of them. At this point, I'm looking for any suggestions for a next step. Thanks!
    -Peter

    Hello Modab,
    If you reboot server the printer is redeployed properly. It is possible that when the printer is deployed the network is still not prepared properly so the RPC error
    is popped up.  Please try the following suggestions:
    1. Disable Fast Logon feature
    Enable the
    [Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ System \ Logon \ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon]
    group policy.
    Logon Optimization
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374350(VS.85).aspx
    Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305293/en-us
    2. Group policy application issue may occur because of Gigabit NIC. Please try the suggestions in the following steps and KB.
    a.      
    To prevent your network adapter from detecting the link state(For Windows Vista/7):
    Run the following commands one by one:
    netsh interface ipv4 set global dhcpmediasense=disabled
    netsh interface ipv6 set global dhcpmediasense=disabled
    For Windows XP, you can see
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239924
    b.     
    Contact the vendor of the network card or visit their web site to obtain updated drivers for the Gigabit NIC.
    Examples of NICs known to exhibit this issue:
    - Broadcom Gigabit Adapter
    - Intel Gigabit Ethernet PRO Adapter, Intel Pro/1000
    - Intel 82544EI-based XT Gigabit Adapter (82540EM chipse)
    - Compaq/HP NIC dual interface 10/100/1000 doing teaming (HP NC7170)
    - Dell Inspiron laptops using an on-board Broadcom BCM4401 NIC
    c.      
    A sever may have a Dual Port NIC or multiple NIC's with one port or NIC set to Disabled. The disabled port or NIC should not be at the top of the binding order in the Network
    Advance Properties.
    1.      
    Click Start, point to Settings, and then click "Network and Dial-up Connection".
    2.      
    On the Advanced menu, click "Advanced Settings".
    3.      
    On the "Adapters and Bindings" tab, in the connections list, select the NIC that the clients use to connect to the server and move it to the top of the list.
    d.     
    Turning off STP can cause issues in your network if a loop ever develops. If you are running a Cisco Series switch or any other switch that runs Spanning Tree, it is best to
    leave spanning tree turned on, but enable PORTFAST on all the ports except uplink and fiber trunks.
    326152 Cannot connect to domain controller and cannot apply Group Policy with Gigabit Ethernet devices
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;326152
    3.
     Remove all of 3rd-party software such as firewall software.
    4.  Set a registry value to delay the application of Group Policy.

  • Any applicable\recommended Group Policy settings (Local & Domain) for configuring windows 8.1 "gold master image" for collection

    Happy Friday everybody -
    I'm working on implementing Microsoft RDS 2012\VDI for the folks here at work.  I've read - online - a lot of articles on VDI and RDS 2012 - and have a working model that is working somewhat satisfactorily.  I haven't seen much online about steps
    I could take in Local Group Policy on my Windows 8.1 'gold image' - or for that matter Domain level group policy - that can assist in creating a better, more reliable/robust Windows 2012 VDI environment.
    Anybody out there got any information or opinions or advice on Group Policy settings for VDI environments?
    Thanks again, everyone!

  • Local User Rights Assignments overwritten by AD DS User Rights Assignments Group Policy

    Hello,
    I have a AD DS Group Policy being pushed out to all machine on my domain to for privileged domain service account (Deny log on locally & Log on as a service). I also have a couple machines in the domain that have a local service account which also needs
    the same rights/restrictions.
    We attempted to add the local service account into the AD DS Group Policy. This works but it generates errors on all machines which do not have the local service account on them.
    We attempted to set this in the local Group Policy editor on the machines with the local service account but the AD DS Group Policy will overwrite it.
    Does anyone know of a solution to merge User Rights Assignments rather than overwrite them?

    Does anyone know of a solution to merge User Rights Assignments rather than overwrite them?
    The way I got around this is you make another OU for that computer/server.
    In the GPO section you want to remove inheritance of policies applied. Then link the policies all but the one that is causing the overwrite. Place the computers in that OU and it will not over write.
    If you need other things from that policy then you may make another policy just for that OU that has all you need minus the one that cause issues and want to type in manually. When a PC is placed in that OU and you do a gpupdate /force it will not get the
    locked down one and you can change those settings manually. If you move it out of that OU back to the main OU then it will get the policy and overwrite the local. This is what we had to do per our Domain.
    Hope this helps you out.

    Thanks, Venkatesh. "Hardwork Never Fails"

    Hi,
    Before going further, I have to admit that I made a mistake and Paul is right.
    >>But i am not able to change the security settings in IE like adding sites in Trusted sites its grayed out.
    If we don’t want to allow users to change this setting, we can configure this setting via native policy and the following blog can be referred to as reference.
    Internet Explorer 10 – Add Sites To The Trusted Sites Zone With Group Policy
    http://johnfail.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/internet-explorer-10-add-sites-to-the-trusted-sites-zone-with-group-policy/
    If we want to allow users to change this setting, we can configure this setting via GPP Registry.
    Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.
    Add Trusted Sites Via GPO but still allow users to add trusted sites

  • Assign a local logon script using Group Policy

    Is there a way to assign a local logon script using Group Policy? The reason I ask is that I wrote a logon/logoff script that will record the date/time, user, and computer for everyone who logs on to any machine in the domain. Right now it's set on a domain
    GPO, so it works great for domain accounts, but I'd like to extend that functionality to local accounts as well. The only way I know how to do that would be to set my script to run using the local policy. Since I don't want to manually go around to all 400+
    machines in my domain, I would rather find a simpler way of modifying the local policy. Any ideas?

    Martin, thank you for your response. That's exactly the kind of out-of-the-box answer I was looking for, unfortunately, it looks like I can only do that for Logon scripts. I don't see an option for Logoff. (Maybe the took the Logoff functionality out?
    This article says there should be a Logoff item in the GPO, but they're talking about Windows 2000 in that article.)
    Matthias, I started playing around with what you said, and I noticed that the "Scripts" key only seems to show up on my Windows 7 clients. The XP workstations don't have that key. Plus I did some testing, and I think I can do it without having
    to mess with the registry at all.
    So I think I have a workable solution at the moment. I found
    this article that talks about copying Local Polices from one computer to another. I tried manually setting the Logon/Logoff scripts in the Local policy on a fresh machine. From that reference computer I copied the Scripts folder out of the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\GroupPolicy\User
    directory. It also created a gpt.ini file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\GroupPolicy directory. The gpt.ini file contained an attribute called gPCUserExtensionNames, and one called Version. The gPCUserExtensionNames attribute specified two GUIDs, which
    I assumed to be the GUIDs that identify the Local Policy. I tried manually creating the Local policy on several different machines, with several different Operating Systems, and those GUIDs always seemed to be the same (not sure why). So I copied the gpt.ini
    file off the reference machine as well. When I placed all of the files I copied from the reference machine on to a new machine, everything seemed to work just fine (no registry modification necessary), with one caveat. It seemed to be running the script twice.
    So I went back into the gpt.ini file and deleted one of the GUIDs listed under gPCUserExtensionNames, and now the script runs just once!
    So I think this solution will work ok for me. We don't have any other Local Policies in place, so demolishing all existing Local Policies is perfectly acceptable in my case. I'm just not sure if I'm doing any damage by copying the gpt.ini file from a reference
    machine (if anyone can expand on how that works, I would appreciate the peace of mind that I'm not making things worse by doing this). So all I need now is to write a Startup script, or an SCCM package to deliver the Logon scripts and associated ini files
    to the appropriate location on all the domain PCs. Easy enough to do on my own. If anyone knows of a reason why this method is a bad idea, please post here. I'll be testing it out on a handful of PCs in the mean time.
    Hi Guys,
    Will this solution work for my case? I have a forcereboot batch script that I need to load on the local policy (logoff script through GPEDIT) however I can only load it manually. I need to do it on multiple machines (approx 5000 computers). I am having
    trouble doing it using powershell. Is there any other options to do it? 
    Will I have to use the same GUID's you mentioned on the gpt.ini file? (gPCUserExtensionNames=[{42B5FAAE-6536-11D2-AE5A-0000F87571E3}{40B66650-4972-11D1-A7CA-0000F87571E3}] since it refers to the local script and how about the version on the gpt.ini file?
    Thanks in advance.

  • EMET 5.0 Group Policy Settings Ignored (Probable race condition with Policy application)

    In our deployment, EMET 5 seems to be ignoring group policy settings from immediately after the first group policy refresh post-boot.
    Settings are being applied to the computer correctly, and are appearing in the registry correctly, and on boot, a set of Event ID 50 events are logged containing ConfigAppmitGPO (and similar for the other settings) elements with the correct settings.
    Upon the first group policy refresh, further eventID 50 events are logged, with empty ConfigAppmitGPO elements.
    Investigation with Process Monitor seems to indicate this is a race condition between Group Policy Registry settings being refreshed (which deletes the entries) and the EMET service reading out these settings from the registry (which appears to be triggered
    by Group Policy application or by a notification on the registry keys themselves)
    This is reproducible on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
    Is there any way to arrange for settings to be applied correctly at all times, or is this a bug that will need to be fixed in a future update?

    We're experiencing the exact same behavior currently. I was starting to think I was going crazy. Glad to know others are experiencing the same behavior.
    I've found that using the method from pervious versions to read and update settings from Group Policy, using "emet_conf.exe --refresh" still works, and upon every execution, the event log shows the GPO settings being read and applied. While I welcome the
    move to have EMET update from GPO settings without requiring running a separate task, as it stands now in its current condition, it is a step back.

  • Server 2008 R2 does not show Internet Explorer 10/11 Group Policy options

    Hello,
    I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that has IE11 installed. I am attempting to create a GPO to control Proxy settings for IE10/11 clients, however, when I go to User Config>Preferences> Control Panel Settings> Internet Settings and Right click,
    I do not see an option for IE10, only IE5 and 6, IE7, and IE8. 
    I have downloaded and installed the Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer from
    here, and followed the installation instructions, but still, the option does not show up. I have ensured that all the latest Windows Updates are installed on the server, and rebooted
    the server a couple times. 
    What am I missing here? 
    Thanks in advance.

    This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box is available to users.
    If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Properties menu items are disabled for all users, and users cannot open the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
    Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
    If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when users right-click the icon representing a LAN connection. Also, when users select the connection, Properties is enabled on the File menu.
    Note: This setting takes precedence over settings that manipulate the availability of features inside the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. If this setting is enabled, nothing within the properties dialog box for a LAN connection is available to
    users.
    Note: Nonadministrators have the right to view the properties dialog box for a connection but not to make changes, regardless of this setting." gpmc_settingname="Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" gpmc_settingpath="User Configuration/Administrative

    If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the check boxes for enabling and disabling components are disabled. As a result, administrators cannot enable or disable the components that
    a connection uses.
    Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
    If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties dialog box for a connection includes a check box beside the name of each component that the connection uses. Selecting the check box enables the component, and clearing the check box disables
    the component.
    Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the check boxes for enabling and disabling the components of a LAN connection.
    Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from enabling or disabling components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting." gpmc_settingname="Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection" gpmc_settingpath="User
