Printers deployed via GPO not deploying

Hi
I have deployed printers via a GPO and mostly all printers have deployed correctly with the exception of a few. The printers that do not deploy to client workstations have different permission than the ones that do deploy correctly. If I add the everyone
group the print permission then the printers do appear, but we do not want everyone to have print permission we just want a few members of staff to be able to print.
Does anyone know if the everyone group has to have print permission for the printers to appear when deployed through a GPO?
Thanks in advance

Someone else was having the same issue as reported in this post.

If you are using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the printer connection, I'd suggest posting the Group Policy forum also.

Installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO not working properly

Hello,
i've installed Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO.
Installation works fine, but there is no flash player available in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Deployed both Flash Players.
Tried to reinstall Flash Player 11.8.800.94 for Firefox, but it's still not active.
Windows 7, 64bit
Greetings,
Michael

Hello Comvel.
RE:
Hello,
i haven't fixed it yet.
I've deployed the last few version of flash player without any problems.
I haven't found any new things in the admin guide.
The plugins don't show up in both browsers. I can't enable them.
On the most importent clients, i've installed flash player manually.
I know it has been a few months since your post but, I was wonderingif you were able to find a solution for this that didn't involve manual installations. I've recently deployed 11.8.800.175 and am running into the same problems. Some work stations are just fine. But others, (both windows 7 and xp, all IE8) are not working. When navigating to a site like youtube, theres a banner that says update is needed. When you go to manage add-ons there is no shock object/add on.

Setting NTFS Folder ACLs via GPO not working on 2012 R2

I have configured some NTFS folder persmissions using a GPO in
Computer configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/File System/
Configure this file or folder then: Propagate inheritable permissions to all subfolders and files
This works great on all my Server 2008R2 boxes. But it has no effect on my 2012R2 boxes!
gpresult /z indicates that the policy is read and applied.
Why doesn't this work for 2012 R2 servers?
Many thanks.

> This works great on all my Server 2008R2 boxes. But it has no effect on
> my 2012R2 boxes!
check %windir%\security\logs\winlogon.log - that's where file system
permissions are logged.
In addition, it might be that SYSTEM hasn't full access to the folder
you want to modify?

Themes Applied via GPO Not Working in Build 9926?

I've built 2 machines side by side, one using build 9879 and the other using 9926. They were both built using the exact same process. They are both in the same OU and have the exact same GPOs applied.
The custom theme that I apply using Group Policy works correctly on the 9879 machine, but I've got nothing on the 9926 machine. Just a black screen.
Build 9879:
Build 9926:

For what it's worth, after multiple reboots (3x) the custom theme and wallpaper were correctly applied.
Still, the GPO settings were applied correctly and immediately on build 9879 but it took 3 reboots for it to apply on build 9926.

Deploy IP Printer Locally without a print server via GPO

I have a client that has 1 main site and 3 smaller satellite sites. They only have one (yes 1) server for all of their clients. There is a 100MB connection between so bandwidth is not an issue. The server is 2008 R2,
clients are a mix of XP and Windows 7. I have deployed client side extensions to the XP clients.
My project: Install a new network printer in each site (its the same printer for all 4 sites), configure clients to use printer in their site via GPO.
Each site has its own OU with users in their respective site OU. Normally, if this were a single site I could add the print services role, install the drivers for the printer on the print server, and use GP preferences;
User config -> Preferences -> Control Panel -> Printers -> add new TCP/IP and then apply this to the users OU. The problem is that it requires a local name and local path, which would require a local print server in each site.
Is there a way to use GP to add a printer to each client computer (and set as default) throughout multiple sites, while only having the One server in 1 out of 4 sites?
All help is greatly appreciated!
NOTE: when I say site, I mean physical location, it is all one domain.

I am really getting close to the deadline of new printers arriving so I will walk through exact steps I have taken to get this set up.
Ok. I have a server running 2008 R2. I added the Print services role.
Right click 'Printers' -> Add printer
select 'Add a TCP/IP Printer by IP address or hostname'
'Type of device' = 'Autodetect'
'hostname or IP address' = 'x.x.x.x' (IP address that printer will be set to)
'Port name' = 'x.x.x.x_2'
do NOT select 'auto detect printer driver'
select 'Generic Network Card'
select 'Install new driver'
select 'Have Disk' and browse to driver
'Printer name' = Printer Name
select 'share this printer'
'Share name' = Printer Name
next, next, driver installs and printer installs, and finish.
Now you have the printer installed and showing up under printers.
Now, I right click printer and -> deploy with group policy
Browse to the OU where my user is located in ADUC, select the GPO that I have linked to that OU, click 'add' and click 'OK'.
Now, log in to a win 7 computer, gpupdate, printer shows up in devices and printers. I can't print to it obviously since it's not connected to the network yet. But, when I log in to an XP computer, run gpupdate, it does NOT populate in devices and printers.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Deploying Adobe Creative Cloud via GPO

A few months ago my long and lasting journey with Adobe CC started and I was pretty eager to deploy the software in our enterprise. As it comes out, with a little help from Adobe, that just made me crazy and a few pretty pointless and sensless tests I finally managed it somehow to get Adobe CC deployment via GPO. None of our users have local admin rights due to restrictive policy in our enterprise. All testing and configuration was made on Windows 7 Enterprise (x86 and x64) machines.
As we don't use SCCM in our environment it was critical to use "simple" GPO rollout for software. As there are MSI's with all the packages I started my journey...
To start it all of:
As it seems, you cannot buy licenses any more permanent and you can buy them via subscription. OK, that's one way to go and since we need all these products in future we went in evaluating it. Since we cannot buy licenses in a big order like adobe wants us to we were only left to buy the creative cloud for teams and not for enterprise. Still, this was fine to, since adobe offered the cloud packager and a lot of documentation, i thought at least.
To test and make sure that we can deploy all of the wanted features of creative cloud we bought 2 licenses for the IT-staff. During testing, late semptember/october 2014, with the cloud packager in version 1.6 I was able to deploy the packages and software as we wanted. Just as information, we wanted our users to have Bridge, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamveawer, Prelude and the most important thing, we did NOT want the creative cloud desktop application due to company restrictions. Well as mentioned before everything worked as charm and I was just happy to start ordering the licenses for all of our users and get things done
Well, as a lot surely know, the process of ordering the licenses and getting things rolling in a enterprise sometimes takes a little (more) time. After about one or two months later everything was ready and set and I was feeling like this is going to be a piece of cake. Make new packages with the cloud packager, create the gpo's, test the deployment, invite the users and I'm the king of the jungle.
That was what I thought...
Adobe was so nice to release the newer and more improved version (I think 1.7 or 1.8) of the cloud packager, that suddenly hasn't been able to deactivate the creative cloud desktop application. Well, not a problem I thought to myself, I'll just uninstall it later on and it's fine. Since there are about 20 users that were getting the software it would be a not so nice job, but once done it's done and it shouldn't happen again.
Then i was hit by Adobe with a colossal fist right in the face! Why are you asking? Well as I mentioned above, the deployment via GPO worked fine and now? Not anymore, since the exception deployer couldn't install the applications it just broke everything and didn't even try to install the other applications that don't need the exception deployer. After a few e-mails and further testing, run as local admin, run installation after being copied to local, I lost fate that this is ever going to work.
Adobe gave me the best help they could and I even had a deployment expert in on a web session and he gave me a short commandlet (exception deployer) and said that it has to work this way but surprise, it didn't. As I was getting more and more frustrated by this situation and the exception deployer I started to shrink down the packages as much as possible so that there are no applications that needed to be deployed with the exception deployer. I run tests and guess what? It worked! Man, was I happy that after almost a month things started getting in the right shape. As I couldn't sleep because of this mess I started testing the applications that Adobe techs said needed the exception deployer. I created a new package just for Lightroom 5 (yeah, I know there is a newer version out now, but not at that moment) and saw that it landed in this exception folder that is made during packaging with the cloud packager. I was just curious to test it and made a new GPO for just Lightroom, as a MSI was also within the package I figured, why not give it a try? It worked again!?! I was pretty surprised due to the information that it shouldn't be working, as Adobe techs stated.
The simpler problem was the creative cloud desktop application. After having the Adobe techs in on a websession they stated, that it should work if I choose enterprise licensing to get rid of this software. But due to Adobe's updating policy of the creative cloud packager, there has been a newer version released (1.9) that opted out this feature to deactivate the installation of the creative cloud desktop application. I thought myself, why? Just please tell us why Adobe do we need this? But OK, there was also a solutions for this problem, the adobe creative cloud cleaning tool. If you create and XML file that is being read from the cleaning tool you can run this and "almost silently" uninstall the software via GPO. I gave it a shot and it works like a charm.
To be honest I thought, that Adobe due to it's status as THE software company when it comes to creating/editing multimedia content they would know about the problems some of their customers across the globe could be having. As it seems, they don't care enough or haven't ever had somebody with a similar problem(what I cannot believe, but all right) to share some more detailed information about a case like this.
I know, why have we bought it, if we don't need any cloud space? Well it's simple, Adobe creative products are needed and the CS6 products won't be here forever so it's better to start sooner than later with migration to a newer release. Still I was hoping to get more help from Adobe....
Just to share the packages with you:
"Complete 32Bit" package includes: Audition CS6+Updates, Bridge CC, Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, Edge Animate CC 2014, Fireworks CS6, Illustrator CC 2014, Incopy CC 2014, InDesign CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014, Prelude CS6
"Complete 64Bit" package includes: Audition CS6+Updates, Bridge CC, Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, Edge Animate CC 2014, Fireworks CS6, Illustrator CC 2014, Incopy CC 2014, InDesign CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014, Prelude CS6, Premiere Pro CC 2014, SpeedGrade CC 2014
"InDesign 32Bit" package includes: InDesign CC 2014
"InDesign 64Bit" package includes: InDesign CC 2014
"Lightroom 5 32Bit" package: Lightroom 5
"Lightroom 5 64Bit" package: Lightroom 5
None of these packages needed the exception deployer to be run. It was all tested on different (also different machine specs) 32bit and 64bit machines. The OS was always Windows 7 Enterprise.
To uninstall the creative cloud desktop application i wrote a batch file:
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST C:\log_adobe_cc_cleaner\*.* EXIT ## checks if this folder is existent. If not it continues. If there is the folder it stops and won't run again ##
mkdir C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner ## creates a temp folder, as the uinstall tool can only be run locally ##
xcopy \\your_server\your_share$\adobecc\adobecc-cleaner\*.* C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner\*.* /Y ## copies the complete content of the folder to the newly created local folder ##
call "C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner\AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe" --cleanupXML=C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner\cleanup_desktop_app.xml
xcopy "%Temp%\Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log" "C:\log_adobe_cc_cleaner\*.*" /Y ## copies the log file to folder, creates the folder itself ##
rmdir /q /s "C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner" ## removes the adobe creative cloud unintaller from local machine, leaves the log file folder for further check if the creative cloud uninstall tool needs to be rerun ##
The XML file has following written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Products>
<Properties>
<Property name="eulaAccepted">1</Property>

</Properties>
<CreativeCloud>
<Product productName="Adobe Creative Cloud" version="2.0"/>

</CreativeCloud>
<AdobeIdCredentials>

</AdobeIdCredentials>
</Products>
Updating of the Adobe products is done with Secunia CSI in our enterprise, but there is also the posibility to remotely run the updatemanager.exe or via logon/logoff script.
What I also found out, was the dependency of vcredist for adobe products. You need the 2010, 2012 of them and most importantly in the x86 and x64 version! In case you get a .DLL missing error.
I hope this here helps someone who has lost a lot of nerves and a lot of time due to the deployment of Adobe creative cloud applications. I stil hope that there is going to be a better and easier way to deploy this.
Excuse me for the bad english, good luck with your deployment and maybe we can get Adobe a bit smarter from our all experience to make us a good deployment method.

Deploy FF 3.6.23 to 7.0.1 failed via GPO

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/928959]]</blockquote>
Hi, I tried to deploy the upgrade packet for Users from FF 3.6.23 to 7.0.1 via GPO.
(Environment: Windows 2008 R2 Standard Domain, Client PC: Windows XP SP3)
But some PCs can upgrade some PCs can not. (Other software deploy is OK, only FF)
Is there any guys also has the problem like this?
I doubt if any patch not install or reg not config?
Or something else may make this happen?

Why are you updating to such an ancient version as Firefox 7.0.1? The latest supported version of Firefox 13. You shouldn't use versions older than that as they have been dropped from support and have known and public vulnerabilities.
The only other vresoin that has some support if Firefox ESR. [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/].

Deploy an application shortcut (inside a network) via GPO

Hi,
I have the deploy printers, .msi applications and Internet shortcuts via GPO, but I'm having trouble with deploying an shortcut to a specific Computer or User. The shortcut contains a path UNC to an .exe file that will launch an application on a server.
I went through Group Policy Management, created a shortcut and edited all of the properties in the General tab to point to the .exe file within the server/folder. I followed a couple different screenshots off of forums and it looks correct, but it doesn't work. I also went the shortcut to a shared folder (that has the .exe file in it) and it still didn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Deploying Flash Player via GPO - need to have log files generated

I'm looking at deploying the Flash player to 3000 machines across my company via GPO (SCCM is comming in but not for another year). This would be fairly simple if it was just a standard deployment, but I need to ensure that I have close to total coverage, and the only way I can see of doing this is to use th /log switch in the launch parameters. I wish to deploy this via a GPO deployed software and not a script for future upgradability options and as such I'd like to know if anyone knows what parameters I'd need to change on ORCA/similar to make this work?
Thanks in advance

Hopefully you can find most of the information you need in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

Deploy Quicktime.msi via gpo on Vista

I need to build a MSI package for our Vista Business computers. Version is Quicktime v.7.3.0.70. Executing Quicktime.msi manually on Vista installs fine. But deploying via gpo (no MST, assigned to user, [install at login] not checked) I get the message
"A newer version of Quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of Quicktime is installed".
Quicktime was never installed on the computer. It has a clean image.
I have set verbose mode for deployment logging: [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup".
In the log file, a line gets my attention just before the afore error message.
'http://quicktimepro.apple.com/?country=CA&language=fr&productName=QuickTime7&op eratingSystem=Windows
&osVersion=06000000&qtVersion=07308000&cid=AOSA10000026883'
See the version number 'qtVersion=07308000' which is higher than 073070 which is the version I am installing.
Where does Quicktime installer find this info? Am I on the right track to solve this problem? I have put almost three days trying to get this package working.
Any ideas?

Here's the solution that worked for me. It was posted on appdeploy.com earlier today:

I have been distributing quicktime via group policy using tips that have been posted above. However today when I tried using my normal method to distribute quicktime 7.3 via group policy, it stopped working and I was getting this in the application event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10005
Date: 11/6/2007
Time: 9:19:04 AM

Description:
Product: QuickTime -- A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed.
This error started coming up if a previous version of quick time was installed or even if it was none installed and there certainly was not a newer version installed. To fix this problem I used orca and created a transform that removed the row with condition:
"NOT BNEWERPRODUCTISINSTALLED"
from the LaunchCondition table. I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not, but it seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Flash Player deploy by GPO - not working

I've been attempting to get Flash Player 10 (distributable verision, install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi) to deploy accross our network - three sites, around 100 computers total.
I've assigned it to Group Policy, the client machines pull it down and install successfully (it even shows up in Add/Remove programmes).
However it doesn't work. Whenever any user goes to a flash-based website they get a message telling them to download and install flash.
Has anyone else experienced this?
All our clients are running Win XP and IE8

In case this might help someone else - I've now given up with installing flash via GPO, and decided to try
to install via a vbscript computer start up script that I knocked together this morning. In case it might help someone else, copy is included below:
Basically - put msizap.exe from windows installer sdk + the adodb flash uninstaller/msi file in the directory (strNetworkPath)
Script then does the following:
1) Calls adobe's uninstaller exe in silent mode to clean up what adobe can - then what it leaves behind we do ourselves:
2) removes c:\windows\temp\installax.exe if it exists
3) searches for and deletes from registry any Managed applications references containing (Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX) - in our case, i've already told GPO's to remove flash player - so it's erroring on uninstall at the moment)
4) Search for any installed msi applications called 'adobe flash player 10 activex' and runs MSIZAP on them ( seems adobe uninstaller doesn't completely remove the local msi references ;/)
5) copies MSI down frmo network to windows temp
6) msiexec /qb msi
7) delete the msi file

Deploy reader updates and install/uninstall reader via GPO ???

Hello,
Got a couple of questions on install/uninstall via GPO and how to deploy reader updates.
1) How to uninstall older version of readers via GPO?
2) Is there an ADM file available for installing the latest reader via GPO?
3) For reader patch updates, can it be deployed via GPO? If yes, any docs. I can refer to? If no, what is the minimum priviledge I must grant to domain users to allow them to run the update function w/in the reader (or assign to a specific file path)?
Thanks in advance!

Deploying Java via GPO issues

Here's a bit of background. I typically run the Java installer and get the msi's from the %appdata% folder.
Installation typically works well, however, in some cases it takes upwards of 1 hour to uninstall the old version and reinstall the new versions being pushed out.
From the research I've done it has to do w/ a missing installer.dll file. I'm assuming that windows is waiting on a timeout to occur before it proceeds which is what is causing the delay.
Does Oracle have a document that talks about how to properly deploy java in an enterprise environment. Is there a specific area that i can download an official MSI for Java rather than having to fish it out of %appdata%?
It's becoming really inconvenient to have users wait 1 hour for java to deploy every time we need to push an update out.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.

Stop me if you've heard this one before -I'm trying to deploy TightVNC to workstations on the network via GPO and foundthislovely guideon how to achieve such a feat.I've followed it to a tee making sure that all of the folders containing the scripts and install files are located on a network path to which all domain computers have access to read and execute to, and I'm still having problems trying to get the script to run.I have written WMI filters correctly to sort out 32 bit and 64 bit machines.I've tested the script manually on a local workstation and confirmed the code is good.I've made sure the GPO is being applied to the machine.Still no luck :/

Hi Bishelp,
Firstly, please check the security tab of that printer, make sure your user account has access permission for it.
To perform these procedures of deploy printer connections, you must be a member of the local Administrators group and have write access to Group Policy objects (GPOs) in the AD DS domain or the organizational unit (OU) to which you want to deploy printer
connections. For more information please refer to following MS articles:
