LocalGPO .msc File Import to Target Machine

Hello!
Before anyone says join them to a domain, let's just assume that is not an option. So I hope we get that clear...
Anyhow, need to create User level oriented Local GPO via MMC Console, save as Policy.msc, Network Share the file on Workgroup, copy the file to remote computer on network, and save the configuration to eliminate having to make each rule again. 
I created the Local GPO and assigned to target user on local machine. Saved the console as Policy.msc and stored in a folder which became the Network Share for remote machines to use. Everything looks great and restrictions are in place.  Move on to
next machine...
Open mmc.exe > Add Snap In for Local GPO and assign user > ... now no import function. Crap, how can I get these changes applied. Okay lets just open the file >> Access Network Share > Copy file and paste on remote computer > Open File
> .... no changes are even in the file, it's just a fresh Group Policy listings in their default state. 
That's where I stand.
I've read about copying the Group Policy folder in the systemroot\system32 sub directory. Aren't these computer wide changes? That would not be ideal. I'll test further but I am at a road block, scouring 

Hi,
>>need to create User level oriented Local GPO via MMC Console, save as Policy.msc, Network Share the file on Workgroup, copy the file to remote computer on network, and save the configuration to eliminate having to make each rule again. 
Based on your description, we can try to use LocalGPO tool to do this. This tool is designed to manage local group policies of a computer such as applying a security baseline and exporting the local Group Policy.
Regarding LocalGPO tool, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

  • Running executable file in target machine

    I have labview 7.1 professional version. I have created a executable file for target machine. When the executable file run at target machine, it needs all drivers and run time engine.
    I have installed drivers in target machine but not run time engine.
    Do I have to create a installer file which includes run time engine? If I only have *.exe file instead of installer file, how can I install run time engine?
    Do I have to put all subvi in the same directory as the one when the program was developed?
    Thanks.

    I believe that you can install the runtime engine with your original professional version CD. Just choose the custom install and uncheck everything except the runtime engine. If you use the application builder, it automatically puts subvi's where they belong. I've never tried it manually, but I suspect that they need to be in the same directory structure as the one where it was developed.

  • PXE boot no longer working - blank cmd windows shown. If run Scripts/Litetouch file from target machine wizards runs as expected??

    Hi, My MDT server no longer works as expected via PXE boot. After the target machine loads the .wim file an empty command windows is shown. I have returned the custom settings.ini and bootstrap files to default and ensured nothing is being skipped within
    the task sequence within both files in hope of viewing the wizard.
    However from the same target machine if I map drive to my Deploymentshare/Scripts directory and run LiteTouch file I am asked for domain credentials and the Deployment wizard is displayed asking for task sequence to be selected.
    I believe this error is a result of two things:
    1) I applied some windows updates to my mdt server (running on 2008 r2).
    2) I was implementing changes to
    ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf   which i have now returned to default settings. 
    I have also regenerated boot images and re added to WDS.
    Any help much appreciated?
    Regards,
    Paul 

    Hi Paul,
    This sounds familiar; I only encounter this behaviour with certain kinds of laptops (Latitude E65x0) but I usually just provide the "wpeutil reboot" command in the empty command window to keep things going. All other hardware is deployed with the
    same task sequence and this behaviour does not occur anywhere else...
    A bit obvious maybe, but did you check if there is still a "Next Phase" step present and enabled following directly after the "Install Operating System" step? 

  • Can I access files copied to this machine in target disk mode from this machine?

    Can I access files copied to this machine in target disk mode from this machine?

    HI Claire,
    YOu didn't indicate which Mac OS you are using so I'm going to assume 10.4.x.
    Connect the FireWire cable to the target computer after starting it up in FireWire Target Disk Mode.
    *If the cable was already connected, unplugging it from either computer and plugging it back in should allow the target computer's hard disk to appear on the host.*
    Also, make sure you have the most recent Firmware for your iBook... go here:

  • Getting Datapump Export Dump file to the local machine

    I apologize to everyone as this is a duplicate post.
    Re: Getting Datapump Export Dump file to the local machine
    My initial thread(started yesterday)was in 'Database General' and didn't get much response today. Where do i post questions on EXPORT/IMPORT utilities?
    Anyway, here is my problem:
    I want to take the export dump of itemrep schema in orcl database (in a remote machine). I have an Oracle server (10G Rel2) running in my local Windows machine. I have created a user john with necessary EXPORT/IMPORT privileges in my local db. Then i created a Directory object,ie a folder named datapump in my local hard drive and granted READ WRITE privileges to john.
    So john, who is a user in my local machine's oracle db is going to run the expdp utility.
    expdp john/jhendrix@my_local_db_alias SCHEMAS=itemrep directory=datapump logfile=itemrepexp.log
    The above command will fail because it will look for itemrep schema inside my local db, not the remote db where the itemprep is actually located. And you can't qualify the schemaname with its db in the SCHEMAS parameter (like SCHEMAS=itemrep@orcl).
    Can anyone provide me a solution for this?

    I think you can initiate the datapump exp utility from your client machine to export a schema in a remote database.But, Upon execution,oracle looks for the directory in the remote database and not on your local machine.
    You're inovoking expdp from a client (local DB) to export data from a remote DB.
    So, With this method, you can create the dumpfiles only on the Remote server and not on the local Machine.
    You can perform a direct import instead of export using the NETWORK_LINK option.
    Create a DBlink from your local and Remote DB and verify the connection.
    Then,Initiate the Impdp from Your local machine DB using the parameter network_link=<db_link of the Remote DB> to import the schema.
    The advantage of this option eliminates the Dumpfile creation at the Server side.
    There are no dumpfiles during the import process. the Data is imported directly to the target schema.

  • How to import a virtual machine to a Hyper-V server by programme on Windows server 2012 ?

    Hi
    As we know, Hyper-V of Windows server 2012 can support importing a VM without exporting it first manually now.
    So I try to code a programme to do it.
    I use the method "ExportVirtualSystemEx" of  "Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService". referenced by
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379583(v=vs.85).aspx
    But the error said that "You can import a virtual machine only if you used Hyper-V to create and export it."
    Since we can import an unexported virtual machine in Hyper-V of windows server 2012 manually, so is there any API to support to do it by programme ?

    Hi vincent

    But this web page don't mentioned how to fix the "Virtual Hard Disk file not found" error.
    and I don't want to fix the VMNetworkAdapter issue by disconnect it.
    So could you told me how to modify the virtual hard disk file path and VMNetworkAdapter to make sure that I can import the virtual machine successfully?

  • File import failure in premiere pro on specific files

    I have installed the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2014. I am trying to import several video files that i have recorded on a Canon 5D Mark III. The problem is that while some of the files gets successfully imported, many files cant import because of a error message, file import failure. Unsupported file format etc. I have tried to open this in many media players, and all work fine there. I have even imported these files on the same Premiere Pro-version on a different machine, and there they work perfectly. But on this machine some files just wont open. Does anybody have a clue or tips on how I can fix this? I guess its a problem within the software.

    It just seems to pick certain files and reject them.
    Which ones does it eject? eg do they have a different file extension from the video files.
    Are they rgb?

  • Quicktime file import failure in CS5 After Effects and PPro

    Running a Dell PC with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro, Intel Quad Core 2 with 4GB.  Ram.When I try to import quicktime files into AE or PPro, I get a file import failure or corrupted file message.  I am using quicktime version 7.6.6.  I have tried uninstalling and removing all preferences, then reloading older versions of quicktime (7.2) rebboting the machine, and still no luck.  Any tips would be appreciated.  I have not been able to get any help from Adobe.  I have a laptop setup the same way and it works great.  I even tried loading the exact same versions of qt. and tried to use the Importerquiktime.prm file from that machine.

    I appreciate the feedback.  I checked the processes upon AE start and found that the Adobe QT server32 starts then closes in the processes before AE actually loads up.  If it is supposed to remain open, it does not.  I can not find where to change its permissions.  I looked the site you sent a link to, but do not see that section.

  • I have followed the steps for running exe on target machine but camera streaming did not found yet.

    Install the following run-time engines:
    LabVIEW Run-time Engine (same version that was used to develop the VI)
    Vision Run-time Engine (same version that was used to develop the VI)
    A single-seat Vision Deployment License is required for each target machine on which you install the Vision Run-time Engine. See Related Links for more details.
    Copy the following DLLs from your development machine's System Directory, typically C:\Windows\system32, to your target machine's System Directory.
    ImaqDirectShowDll.dll
    ImaqDirectShowExport.dll
    Register ImaqDirectShowExport.dll by selecting the Windows Start Menu and selecting Run.
    Type in regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\ImaqDirectShowExport.dll and click OK to register the DLL.
    If you are on a different OS or if the system directory is different and you want to copy the file path instead of typing the whole path, you can drag the file to the command line in the Run prompt, highlight the path, right-click and select Copy.
    Paste in the command prompt window by right-clicking and selecting Paste.
    The ImaqDirectShowDll does not have to be registered.
    I have followed all above steps ,
    Can any one help me for solution ?

    My guess is that the driver is missing at the target system.
    You can add the driver (part of Vision Acquisition Software) you need (IMAQ, IMAQdx, ..) under the Additional Installers Section of your Build Specification and you will also need a runtime license.

  • Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?

    Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?
    I have successfully installed working deployments to target machines. However, I was expecting to see the installation listed as "My TestStand System A" in my start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?
    Also, if I peform a different second deployment to the target station like "My TestStand System B", all of the LabVIEW files from my previous installation for "My TestStand System A" disappear from the target directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand System A).
    I am using TestStand 4.2.1 Professional on the development station with Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Paul,
    That solved my second problem and inspired me to search deeper for the answer to my first problem. The answer is in the "Distributed Files" tab, "installer properties", "Create a Program Item" checkbox:
    Wouldn't it be nice if this was automatically checked by default for the main sequence files? Wouldn't it also be nice if "Upgrade Code" was automatically regenerated by default whenever we saved the *.tsd file under a different name?
    Thanks again,

  • Error code on target machine.

    I created a custom error code file on my development machine and included in my build.  Is there a way to access this custom error code file on my target??
    I know the directory struct is different on the target and made the mistake of hard coding in the path on my devellopment machine.  What I'm trying to do is print out the custom error if and when the test encounters one.  I could create a custom error code.txt then look for the right error code then send it to the print...which is what I do on the development machine but how is it done on a target??

    kind of...doesn't the exe/build/installer/project ( on my development machine)  bundle all that data such that I don't have access to it??  If I included the custom error code in my build/installer what directory is it in on my target??  If I encounter an error on my target I want to print out that custom error.  How would you do that?  I don't know where the custom error file is on my target to point my print out vi to it so it can get that code ( after seaching the custom error code.txt file)
    I edited/modified it on my develope so I knew where it was.  I then hard coded my path in my print out vi to that directory struct.  When I port my exe to my target that directory struct is no longer valid.
    My question is can I use the custom error codes in my exe some how to print out the current error
    OR
    would I be better off porting over the custom error code.txt to a known directory on my target then hard coding it in on my developement machine...making both dir struct the same on develop and target

  • Trying p2v import of virtual machine image, server pool not chooseable

    I'm trying to import a virtual machine image via p2v from an OEL 5 bare metal image. I go to resources, virtual machine images, Import, choose p2v, and then on the General Information page, it asks for Server Pool Name. The name of my one and only server pool is not in the dropdown. The dropdown only contains "Select Server Pool". I tried to fill in the rest and hit Next but it failed me on the Server Pool name.
    How can I get the server pool name to show up in that dropdown?
    There is one server pool, one server, and one vm already on that server.
    thanks,
    Peter

    It's a bug, I had the same problem. I used this and it worked (copying and pasting from an old thread with the solution):
    Workaround:
    VM Manager -> Server Pools -> Select Server Pool Name -> EDIT -> Check the box of “Enable High Availability” -> Apply -> Ignore the “Shared storage is not mounted, or the file system is invalid. The file system should be OCFS2 or NFS.” error message. Leave unchecked the box of ”Enable High Availability” -> Apply again:
    “The server pool updated successfully.”
    Now you can retry the import.

  • Word files imported to Lion

    I have just upgraded my MacBookPro from 10.6.8 to 10.7.4 (Lion).
    When I try to open Word documents I get the message: You cannot open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer Supported. So what to do?
    And when I try to open a password protected (Word) document, the message is: Import error. The Word document is password protected and cannot be imported. So what to do?
    vbrun

    vbrun, I had the same exact issue.  Unable to open word files that are password protected, now that I've upgraded to Lion.  After searching here and elsewhere on the net and not finding a solution, I remembered I (luckily) still have an old iBook with 10.3, so I was able to open the files on that laptop, do a "save as" with NO PASSWORD, and then copy those new (non-password) files to my Lion machine. It was tedious for sure, but I was able to salvage the files.  Apple really should come up with a workaround for this.  But if you are still without a solution, you could try what I did - I think you could even do it on a PC if that is easier to access than an old mac. 

  • Files Missing From Time Machine Backup

    I had a system crash and I'm trying to move the files from my time machine backup onto my new computer.
    The problem is that many of my files, which I know where on my desktop in folder at the time of the backups, seem to be missing. I can find the folder, but about three quarters of the files from it are gone. The ones that are in it appear to be mostly newer files that I had created not long before the last backups and the crash. As far as I go back, the files seem to be missing.
    Anyone know what might be going on?
    Does it have to do with which user I'm logged in as? Would that change what files I can see?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the comment. I did use the Migration Asst. to move her data and most did move, but key information, like the Safari Bookmarks, the addresses in the Address Book, and every file in the Documents folder were all missing. I finally called Apple and the tech there solved the problem. The source of the problem is that when she registered the new Mac mini, she used a slightly different User name, which then made it impossible for the new Mini to communicate with the external Backup data. The tech walked me through a multiple step process that involved adding a suffix to the original user name and so on, which has made available all the original data on the new mini.
    This is the second time in the last few years that a change in the administrator user name has created an enormous problem. While Apple notes that this user name is important, there should be a more thorough explanation of how it functions and the serious consequences that can occur if is not husbanded properly.
