Hi all,

Dont need to install 275817 as its already applied to the server that has the KMS install on it.
When i get to step 3 and double click the exe from the MSDL site i get the cscript window but nothing happens, the window stays blank and then closes, i never get the prompt to enter the licence key for Office 2013 KMS key.
Its a Windows server 2008 R2 install, fully patched and rebooted.
Checked the logs and can find nothing, has anyone seen this or know a fix?
Thanks in advance.

Set Office 2013 Document Themes with Group Policy

We have created a document theme (as opposed to the Office UI theme) and want to set this as the default for Word 2013 & Excel 2013 for all users without them having to do this themselves. Eg, in Word, under DESIGN, select the prefered Theme & "Set
as Default"
There doesn't seem to be anything in the Office 2013 ADM and I have not be able to locate any registry key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
We can use the Office Customization Tool to create a customized .msp file, and then deploy it across the organization.
Please refer to blog article below, and look on the middle of the article which introduces how to create the customization .msp file.

Office 2013 KMS Activation Issues When Outlook 2010 Has Been Installed

Hi Everyone,
I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this question. I have been setting up a KMS server host for Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2. The issue I have ran into is that all of our computers currently have Office 2010 installed. Our Office 2013 KMS server
is installed on a different server than the KMS server that activates Office 2010. (Different Virtual Machine) If Office 2010 has been installed the KMS server will not activate with the upgrade to 2013. Troubleshooting below:
1. Leave office 2010 installed and simply click upgrade - did not work.
2. Completly uninstalled Office 2010 and tried ospp.vbs /act and ospp.vbs /act - did not work.
3. Completly uninstalled Office 2013 with all other versions of Office 2010 uninstalled. Did a fresh install of Office 2013 after a reboot and verified working.
Can anyone explain to me either why this is happening as well as a solution. I realize that I have a work around right now but it takes some time.

So, you have 2 KMShosts?
Host_A is KMShost for OFF2010
Host_B is KMShost for OFF2013
Are both hosts published in DNS?
(check with: nslookup -type=any _vlmcs._tcp)
Clients can resolve and connect to both hosts?
Or are you using static KMS location (do you manually configure your KMSclients to a specific hostname or IPaddress)?
Typically, a KMSclient will perform discovery via DNS lookup, and will try each KMShost until success occurs.
Possibly, when you installed WS2012R2, you chose ADBA instead of KMS ? (check the VA role on this server to confirm the mode)
You can check upon the KMShost, execute: cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv all
Another option, might be for you to co-host OFF2010 KMS and OFF2013 KMS upon the same (new WS2012R2) server, and de-commission the old KMShost function including removal of the DNS record for it. (Assuming this is consistent with your plans)
Example for OFF2013 ADBA:

Backup & Restore non-administrators Group Policy Settings

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a few reference images of Windows 7 which will be deployed to our client computers. The baseline Group Policies are configured through Local Group Policies set in the image. I've setup a Master GPO machine on which to build the policies
and test them.
The Local Group Policies have been set for Local Computer Configuration, Local User Configuration and for Local Non-Administrators Configuration. The thinking is that members of the local Administrators group on the computer are unrestricted and still have
the ability to do most things. Users which log onto the computer abide by the more restrictive Non-Administrators Group Policy settings.
Using the "LocalGPO.wsf" script I'm able to backup and restore Computer and User Configuration which affects all users of the machine but it does not backup the Non-Administrators Policies. Is this possible?
After some digging around in the "GPOPack.wsf" files I've found that the Machine & All Users Policies are restored by the "LocalPol.exe" file. This utility has command line switches for '-m' machine and '-u' user. So I'm guessing
that it's not possible to restore the Non-Administrators Policies?
For what it was worth I've tried copying the "Registry.pol" file from "%windir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers\S-1-5-32-545\User" folder on the GPO Master machine and placed the file in the same location on target computer. A test which had
one value set worked on the reference computer but when the policies were copied form the GPO Master machine, the target computer ignored all the settings.
Any ideas how to backup/restore Local Machine Non-Administrator Group Polices?
Thanks!

Not entirely sure of the specific policies you're dealing with, but you would typically use the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager to create GPO packs that you would then apply using the Apply Local GPO Package task sequence step in MDT.
I'd encourage you to look over the Applying Group Policy Object Packs section of the
Using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.docx file in the MDT 2013 documentation for more details.

User Group Policy Settings not applied to new user profiles at first logon

Good Afternoon,
We have an issue that occurs to a new user when they first log on to their machines. They log on and a new profile creates from the Default User Profile. We can see that a number of our Group Policy Settings applied as "User Configuration" are
not applying.A log off and back on is required before the policies apply.
Any thoughts to this behaviour please?
Regards

Lee Bowman MCITP MCTS

Hi,
How about your problem now? How many system encounter this problem? Is all policy couldn't be applied? Is there any feedback when using gpresult to check policy applied status?
As Group Policy applies after user identity authentication, generally speaking, user logoff and back doesn't helpful with this problem.
When this problem occures, have you checked event log if it identify this problem?

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!

Cases in which Domain Group Policy settings would be reverted to default settings on a Win7 client

Hi - I'm sure this info is out there somewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding it. Basically, I'm trying to identify the cases in which settings deployed via Domain Group Policy on 2008R2/Win7SP1 would get reverted back to "default settings"
on a Win7SP1 client that is still a member of the domain, and is in a proper OU, properly targeted, WMI filters should still evaluate true, etc...
For instance, it appears that if machine-level registry settings contained within a LocalGPO file on a client get corrupted (C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\registry.pol), all of those settings, plus all machine level administrative template settings
defined in Domain Group Policy, get reverted to default settings (corresponds with Event ID 1096 in System Event Log where it references "LocalGPO"). I have not confirmed if this is the case for machine level settings defined outside of administrative
templates in Domain Group Policy, or for any user level settings though. (But I suspect not.)
When a workstation is unable to talk to a Domain Controller in order to identify applicable Domain Group Policy settings (for instance, this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2421599/en-us), do administrative templates Domain Group Policy settings revert to defaults up until the next successful processing interval? I don't believe
so, but would like confirmation.
Are there any other cases in which Domain Group Policy settings for a client still joined to the Domain would be reverted to defaults?
And when a client is unjoined from the Domain, what Domain Group Policy settings would remain on the client? I understand that some Domain Group Policy settings outside of administrative templates are "tattooed" to the registry. Does
anyone know of a full list of these settings? I believe that most or all of the ones in Windows Settings\Security Settings are tattooed, and the only way to get these settings removed is to explicitly change them via registry edit or LocalGPO/Local Security
Policy, after unjoining the domain.
Any info/insight/links to other doc/etc would be much appreciated!

Hi Shaun,
>>If a client cannot talk to a domain controller at all, admin template settings still stay in-place on the client, correct?
As far as I know, it's not this case. If a client can't communicate with domain controllers, it means that the GPOs applied to the client are out of scope. As suggested by
the article I provided, for native policy, "when a Group Policy object (GPO) goes out of scope, the policy setting is removed allowing the original configuration value to be used."
>>What if a client looses network connectivity while reading Domain GPO?
Group policy will be get updated when computers start up and users log on. Besides, for workstations, group policy will get refreshed at background with by default an interval
of 90 minutes. As long as workstations can restore network connectivity, the group policy settings will get updated.
>>Are there any other failure cases like this where some or all Group Policy settings (admin template or other areas) would get reverted?
There are many reasons which can cause GP malfunction. However, Windows itself provides necessary tools for troubleshooting various issues. When GP malfunctions, we can check
Event Viewer, collect group policy result, or generate group policy log to troubleshoot.

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.

Office 2013: Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

Hi,
I have problems with adding additional e-mail address to my Outlook. When I open the Mail Control Panel Item, go to my Exchange Profile and add a new e-mail address I get a popup indicating that the Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.
The only way of adding extra e-mail addresses is to remove my entire Outlook Profile. In the initial wizard I can add all Exchange mailboxes that I need (I have 3). After I've configured my Outlook profile I always receive the Rundll32 error. When I try
to create a second Outlook profile I still get the same error.
I've tried the following:
- Repair OST file
- Repair Office -> Control Panel and Online Repair
- Reinstall Office
- Reinstall my entire PC
It doesn't matter which e-mail address I add in the initial Outlook configuration wizard. I always receive the error when I try to add a new mailbox, even when I add a mailbox that does not exist (e.g. [email protected]).
Even after reinstalling my PC I still get the same error. I'm using Windows 8.1 (x64) and Office 2013 (32-bit) on a Lenovo W540. None of my colleagues have this issue. It's a domain joined PC and we are not using Roaming Profiles.
For troubleshooting I also created a local account on my laptop but I get the same issues with this account.

Hi,
I'm also using Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit on my computer but doesn't get this issue. As you mentioned you reinstalled your PC, the first thing I suggest is to make sure your Windows and Office have been up to date.
The second thing is to make sure you are using the system with an administrator account, this ensures you the enough permission.
There is a possibility that some 3rd-party programs are interfering with "Mail", we can try to perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with this:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
Search.
2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click
msconfig.
3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services
check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
Disable.
6.Close Task Manager.
7.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.
If in clean boot the issue doesn't exist, the issue was probably caused by the 3rd-party programs. For further information to troubleshoot, you can refer to this kb below:

How to install Windows Updates on a 2012 Domain Controller w/Group Policy Settings

Hello All,
I'm having an issue installing Windows Updates on my Windows Server 2012 Standard with AD DS role, acting as a backup DC.
I have Group Policies setup for the Domain Controllers to download updates from my WSUS server but not to install them. When I go to my Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller, I can install updates via the "Install Updates and Shutdown". That
option doesn't show up on the 2012 server. I can see from my WSUS server and the event viewer that the updates are being downloaded to the 2012 server........just no option for me to install the updates.
Am I just missing something or will I need to change the way my Group Policy is setup to allow installs and/or downloads? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tony

So I've totally removed the GPO settings for configuring updates on the Default Domain Controllers OU and I can get the Windows Server 2003 Server to get updates from Windows Updates, but the 2012 Server still won't show me how to download or install any
updates. It just states on the log-in screen that there are "Windows Updates Sign in and install important updates".
Well guess what Microsoft! I've signed in and still don't see where I can install updates!!!
I guess because you've set AU=3.
There doesn't seem to be much documented in depth about AU/WUAgent (not in the history of forever), but Lawrence and others in the WSUS forum do cover a lot of related question about the agent and also GP settings.
Lawrence has blogged a lot of detail about the registry settings which are available for AU/WU, and how some of those settings are not practically of any use since WinXP.
So, even though your question isn't about WSUS, the WSUS forum is a great place to visit for help for WUAgent etc.
Anyway, "where can I install updates?" :
on the Start screen, Search for "Windows Update"
or
Settings charm
Change PC Settings
Update and Recovery
Windows Update
or
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update
Some further (light) discussion on the "new" behaviour:

Issue with HOST "metric and policy settings"

Hi All,
I have a OMS and EM Reporsitory installed on a linux machine I have connected four agents(4 hosts) to this grid control. For one perticular host I could not see any predefined metrics. The steps I followed are I have opened a host and went to "Metric and Policy Settings" and there I could not see any predefined metrics like Log file patteren match metrics and CPU utilization metric etc. For checking I have access "All Metrics" option there I can see all predefined metrics but their "collection Schedule" set to Real time-only. I think this is reason why I am not able to see these metrics in "Metric and Policy settings" for customization. How can change the Collection Schedule of these metric. This case is only for that perticular host other hosts are fine and showing metrics and allowing me to customize thresholds values.
As someone suggested I stopped and cleared the state of the agent and then started the agent again but the problem is not solved. Please suggest me a solution.
Regards,
Ashok Chava

You could create a MONITORING TEMPLATE of the metrics you want to collect and base it off of a host that has the Metric and Policy Settings SET and apply it to this perticular host.
Have you checked Setup> Management Pack Access> for HOSTS?

Servers take an endless time at applying group policy settings

1. Please try to renamed the files on the folder c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy to .old and ran Gpupdate /force.
2. Please verify the DNS set correctly and DNS Client Service is enabled. Restart the DNS Client Service.
Hope this helps!

Windows Update Group Policy Settings?

I browsed through SCCM 2012 documentation for an answer of what to set in a GPO when wanting to use SCCM 2012 SP1 to handle updates.
At the moment I have:
WSUS/Reporting pointing to wsus server and its appropriate ports
Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation: Enabled
All signed updates from intranet Microsoft Updates: Enabled
Configure Automatic Updates: Enabled
Configure automatic Updating - 4 Auto download and schedule the install
Scheduled install day: Every Friday
Scheduled install time: 21:00
Enabling Windows Update Power Management to auto wakeup the system to install Enabled
No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations: Enabled
Reschedule Automatic Updates scheduled installation: Disabled
I didn't see any hint, perhaps it is there and I missed it, on what might be the prescribed settings for a GPO.
What is happening is Windows 8ish is drawing a band across the screen and reporting that your computer needs to reboot; and then reboots. From what I could tell in the WindowsUpdate.log file is that round the time it was observed rebooting smsexec
requested a reboot. But oddly I also saw in the Windows Update log was a reboot was scheduled to expire on the 26th, two days after the observed behavior and I also saw that other reboot requests either expired or had been scheduled.
What I have recently done to various Windows Update deployments was to remove the check boxes for Deadline behavior to prevent Software Updates and System restarts outside the Maintenance Window and also checked Device restart behavior
Suppress system restart on the following devices Servers and Workstations.
At the moment I would like to figure out what the GPO settings should be and also how to determine what had requested reboot and when and if the reboot actually happened.
Thanks!
