RDS 2012 R2 - How do I lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy

Greetings all,
I am needing assistance in how to lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy for users that access RDS service. I have followed this awesome guide - h t t p://w w w.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
  - but it is missing two important resources that I would like to lock down.Currently, I have successfully locked down Control Panel for users via Group Policy, but I cannot find any group policy or guide on how to restrict user access
to Computer Management (different to Server Manager). When using Win-X shortcut to open the 'Administrator's shortcuts' near the windows icon, I have locked down everything except Computer Management. Computer Management gives direct access to Disk Management,
Shares etc, which are locked down for users. But Windows Server Backup is still accessible. Can someone please guide me on how to restrict access to both Computer Management and Windows Server Backup.
Thanks in advance.
Terry.

    /how do i get whats on my computer screen on my tv via apple tv?

    You have to have Mac OS X Mountain Lion installed on your MacBook, however the only way to get it right now is if you are a developer.
    Other than that, you will have to wait until it is officially released.

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

  • So my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back, so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back

    so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back, so my computer crashed and i had lost all my itunes purchases and dont know how to get them back

    You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
    Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
    Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea.  iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer.  When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs.  The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
    If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company)  to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast).

  • How to control IE10's "Compatibility View settings" via Group Policy

    First
    of all thanks for taking the time to read this.  I must let you know that I have limited experience with Group Policy so here it goes...
    Domain Controllers are 2008 R2 Datacenter and client computers are Win7 Pro with IE10
    I need to add several sites to the "Compatibility View settings" in IE10 and have these pushed out via Group Policy.
    I followed this to enable the "Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites:"
    Use
    Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites
    I even added the settings to both User Configuration as well as Computer Configuration.  However the computers on the domain wouldn't show these sites in
    IE even after forcing a GP update (gpupdate /force)
    Yes I did use top level domain names.
    Next I installed the Administrative Templates for Windows Internet Explorer 10 on the DC:
    Administrative Templates for Windows Internet Explorer 10
    this gave me an Inetres.adm file while I put in the same location as my other .adm files that Group Policy Manager sees (located at C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Adm)
    I do see a bunch of .ADMX files located at C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions
    on the DC.  I also see a lot of .ADML files located at C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US.
    Where is my Central Store located that my Group Policy references?  How do I know what location GP is reading from?
    Now I installed the Administrative Templates (ADMX) for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 from here:
    Administrative Templates (ADMX) for Windows Server 2008 R2 and
    Windows 7
    This gave me a "Win7-2008R2-admx.msi" package that I installed.  I took the defaults and extracted contents to:
    C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\Server 2008 Win7\PolicyDefinitions
    Are all of these .ADMX files supposed to be placed into my Central Store?
    If I mouse-over "Administrative Templates" in Group Policy Manager is says that the policy definitions are retrieved from the local machine.
    I then right-clicked on top of "Administrative
    Templates" in Group Policy Manager and highlighted Inetres and selected Delete.
    While in Add/Remove Templates I click on Add and it defaults to looking for "Policy Templates" and will not let me select and .ADM/.ADML/.ADMX files.
    What am I doing wrong here?
    How do I know that I'm using the most recent Inetres file?
    How do I know which file Group Policy Manager is using to manage the IE settings that are in:
    User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer->Compatibility View->Use Policy List of Internet
    Explorer 7 sites
    or
    Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer->Compatibility View->Use Policy List of
    Internet Explorer 7 sites.
    Is there anything else you can suggest?
    Many, many thanks in advance for any response

    Hi,
    Regarding your question, usually we create a Central Store for Administrative Templates (Both .admx and .adml files), and create a folder that is named PolicyDefinitions in the following location:
    \\FQDN\SYSVOL\FQDN\policies. The .adml files on the Windows computer
    are stored in a language-specific folder. For example, English (United States) .adml files are stored in a folder that is named "en-US." When you have copied all .admx and .adml files, the PolicyDefinitions folder on the domain controller should contain the
    .admx files and one or more folders that contain language-specific .adml files.
    Please refer to the following articles. You will get more helpful details about the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Template files.

    Based on your description, I understand you enable the setting “Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites”. However, didn’t show any sites in IE in client even after forcing a GP update
    (gpupdate /force). Please use command “gpresult” in clients to collect the GPOs, and then check whether the GPO contain the setting “Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites” was applied to clients or wasn’t.
    In addition, you also can change the related setting by using registry directly.
    Follow the path of the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Policies->Microsoft->Internet Explorer->BrowserEmulation->PolicyList. (Create registry folders
    manually if not present)
    Right Click
    PolicyList ->New->String Value->Enter the name of the website. (Both under ‘Name’ and ‘Data’. For example,
    Value name: example.com Value data: example.com)
    There is a similar question, please read as a reference.
    Add manually URL on Compatibility View List in IE10

  • How to disable via Group Policy - "Any user who has a password doesn't need to enter it when waking this PC"

    The setting can be found in the following location:
    From the “Charm” bar, Settings>Change PC Settings>Users>Sign-in Options> click the “Change” button next to “Any user who has a password must enter it when waking this PC”.
    I am looking to disable this option via Group Policy on our domain, but am unable to find a default policy related to this setting.  I am searching Group Policy on a Server 2012 machine, and in local Group Policy in Windows 8, but have found nothing. 
    Hoping I'm just missing the location of this and someone can point me to the right place.
    Regards,
    -BN

    There is no specific policy for this item. Please set “Require a password on wakeup” policy instead.

    I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2, and I can't find the above quoted policy, and don't know where to anymore where to look. I searched for "Require a password when the computer wakes up", but it took me to the "Define Power Buttons and Turn On
    Password Protection" page of System Settings, but there's NOTHING there except the "When I press the power button".  I really want to stop having to enter a password every time I wake up the monitor screen.

    Hi Shero89,
    Thanks for the answer.  I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet.  I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that.  Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software.  I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems.  One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

  • RDS 2012 - Connection issues when selecting "This is a private Computer"

    We recently cutover our corporate RDS system the Windows 2012 version and it was pretty smooth, only  few issue that where resolved quickly.  In the last 3 weeks I nave had 4 differnet users working from home on personal WIndows 7 system that
    they use to connect to their computer in the office using Windows 2012 RDS telling me that they can't connect any longer.  Doing some basic troubleshooting I discovered that if they select the option on the RDS Webaccess page "This is a private computer'
    they can't connect to their computer in the office.  If they select "This is a public or shared computer" It works fine.
    Anyone seen this before???
    Joe Gomez

    Hello,
    Thanks for your response.
    1. Windows Server 2012
    2. it appears that  it is connecting then it times out after about 30-40 second.
    3. "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of the these resons:"
    Remote access to the server is not enabled.
    The remote computer is turned off.
    The remote computer is not avalible on the network.
    Make sure the remote computer is turned on and is connected to the network and that remote access is enabled.
    4. I will try the a non customized RDWEB page.
    5. Our users have a range of RDP clinet version, I will make sure that these having the problem are on 6.3.9600
    6. Yes they use the Connect to Remote PC feature to connect to a physical PC in the office.
    This worked fine in the Windows 2008R2 RDS environment.  The new RDS 2012 we started to see this.
    Thanks

  • How do I limit access of a computer that is plugged directly into the router?

    I have an AirPort Extreme, Version 7.6.1  I need to limit access of a computer that's plugged by usb directly into the router.  I have the MAC address for this computer and have had restrictions on it the in the past, but it was connected by WiFi then.  How do I do this?  Do I limit access to the Ethernet ID?  I don't want to lock myself out trying to figure it out; I did that last night.  Can someone advise please.

    You could use OpenDNS's parental controls:
    http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/parental-controls
    It can restrict access according to your specifications for everyone on your network.
    It's free.

  • How can my AppleTV access both my iTunes library and my wife's?

    I've gone through several threads and instructions with no definitive "It's not possible." So can someone help me find an easy way to have our AppleTV access my music, TV shows and movies (which it does under our main account), but also those on my wife's iTunes (a separate account; separate computer)?
    Many thanks!

    Using your nomenclature.
    You need to use [email protected] for your iTunes account and your homesharing settings.
    Your wife needs to use [email protected] for her iTunes account and [email protected] for her homesharing settings.

  • Is there a configuration option to prevent an unprivileged user from accessing the firefox profile manager and/or firefox safe mode?

    I'm designing a locked-down Firefox user profile for use on public computers (common room in an apartment building). I can use existing plugins and add-ons to prevent access to about:config and to lock down the various firefox preferences but this is moot if a user can still access the firefox profile manager or can start firefox in safe mode. Is there any configuration setting that could prevent this?

    Hi...
    Reinstalled 10.7.3 from the Combo Updater from apples website.
    The only way to reinstall the Mac OS X or repair the startup disk running v10.7.3 Lion, is to use Lion Recovery The combo update does not do that.
    How much free space on the startup disk? Not enough free space can account for the problems with your apps.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    and no web-pages will load.
    Try using OpenDNS as suggested here >  Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.

  • How to set-up a wireless system for Mac and Windows?

    In a few weeks I will visit my brother in Tennessee, USA who has a cable modem (very good speed - "Comcast") connected to one desktop PC (Windows XP I believe).
    I want to spend 2-3 weeks at his home using my MacBook core duo (May 2006 version) via wireless-- and what is the BEST way to install a wireless internet access for my brother that I can use for the 3 week visit? NOTE: After I leave, this has to work for him wireless with his PC's - not Macintoshes. But I want to have the flexibility to be in several rooms of his long (but single story) home during my stay.
    Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n" and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable) - and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect? Or is there another Airport base station?
    OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
    Thanks for any comments or references here -
    Regards,
    Steve

    Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
    Yes.
    and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
    The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
    and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
    If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
    Or is there another Airport base station?
    The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
    OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
    That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

  • Read Only Access while assigning Analysis Types and Reports in User/Group

    Hi Team,
    While Assigning Analysis Type,Reports and Workbooks to User "Read" option is not enabled. It is not working and as soon as we select analysis type ,Only one option is editable "Create/Update/Delete". The other two Option is always there as display "Read" and "Execute" . Execute might work with "Scripts template" but "READ" should work for analysis types and Reports.
    We are already struggling with "Read Only" Access in security filter as its not working now.
    Thanks
    Edited by: user7918731 on Mar 2, 2011 11:22 AM

    The behavior for Analysis type, workbook and script as follow:-
    The Analysis type create/update/delete option will be enabled, read and execute option will be disabled by default.
    The report workbook read option will be enabled, and other two options will be disabled.
    The script execute option will be enabled, and other two option’s will be disabled.
    For providing “Read Only” access in security filter, Switch to the administration tab, Click on Security Filters, Click on Add button, Open Create Security Filter window, Select the access level to Read Only and select user in assigned user , Click on ok.
    It should work.
