Taskbar Height Registry Key or GPO

I have many computers on my network and I want them all to be standardized with the same Taskbar Height.
I am looking for a Registry Key that defines the Taskbar Height...not the taskbar buttons or icons, but the Taskbar itself.  By default, Windows 7 installs with the Taskbar at 1 row in height.  I want to be able to set the Taskbar Height at 2 rows
by changing the value of the key in the registry that defines Taskbar Height.
If there is not a registry key that defines this, how can I change this in Group Policy so that all users on my network will have the same "2 row" Taskbar Height on their Windows 7 & Windows 8 systems?
Lastly, I want to have all systems configured so that once the "2 row" taskbar height is set, users will not be able to change it.

Hi,
I have captured the registry key changes when I modified the size of the taskbar, there are only keys under HKEY_USERS have been changed:

  • Modify / Add registry keys through GPO

    Hi
    How can we add / modify registry key through GPO (we are using Windows 2003 AD). Our requirement is to add / modify below key
    HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Ole , Name: EnableDCOM, Type: REG_SZ, Data: Y
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    In addition to the above suggestions, Registry GPP is another alternative method to achieve your goal.
    You do not need to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 to use Group Policy Preference policies. You can configure a Group
    Policy preference item in a Windows Server 2003 environment from either a Windows Server 2008/R2 server or a Windows Vista with Service Pack 1/Windows 7 client with RSAT update installed. If you do not have Windows Server 2008/R2 server, you can download
    and install Remote Server Administration Tools on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 client to manage and configure them.

  • Unable to change registry key permissions using group policy

    In order to fix a problem with a piece of software not saving it's settings I need to change the permission on a registry key of our client machines.
    I've setup a GPO and in Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Registry specified the registry key I want to change the permission on, added our staff security group and given the full control over that key.
    The permission are not being changed and when I run rsop I'm getting the following error:
    The policy engine did not attempt to configure the setting.  For more information see %windir%\security\logs\winlogon.log on the target machine.
    I've looked in the winlogon.log file and can see nothing meaningful that relates to this GPO.  I set the logging to be verbose and this doesn't include any additional information.  There appears to be nothing meaningful in the event logs on the
    local machine.
    The OS is Windows 7 SP1
    Anybody shed any light why the policy wouldn't be applying the permissions to the registry key?

    Hi,
    Is this client running Windows 7 64bit? If so, this problem is expected since the Wow6432Node key is only recognizable in 64bit applications.
    Security Client Side extension is a 32 bit application and therefore cannot see the key to change permissions. In this situation, you need to change permission in HKLM/Software/[appname]. For more information, please refer to
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896459
    If it is Windows 7 32bit, this is a GPO not apply issue. Please check if the following registry keys exist on the Windows 7 client:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies Inc.
    If so, please help collect the following information:
    1.   
    Did this problem only occur on one Windows 7 client or occur on all Windows 7clients?
    2.   
    What’s the Operating System on the DC?
    3.   
    Enable debug logging for the Net Logon service. Reproduce the problem and check if there is any relevant error.

  • Setting WMI and Registry permissions via GPO?

    Hi,
    I am configuring SCOM 2012 R2 for my environment. To configure it for SQL Serve,r I neeed to do the following:
    Grant Read permission on HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server registry path for SQLDefaultAction and SQLMPLowPriv
    Grant “Execute Methods”, “Enable Account”, “Remote Enable”, “Read Security” permissions for root, root\cimv2, root\default, root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement11 WMI namespaces to SQLDefaultAction and SQLMPLowPriv
    Grant Read permission on HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\[InstanceID]\MSSQLServer\Parameters registry path for SQLMPLowPriv for each monitored instance
    So I need to assign registry permissions and wmi permissions.
    Is there a way to do this via GPO?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can not change the permission by using group policy directly.
    Steps to solve your requirement,
    1. Using the SetACL tool you can automate the management of Windows permissions.  It is inherently automatable and scriptable. The
    COM version provides the full functionality to any COM-enabled programming language (C#, Visual Basic, C++, Delphi, PowerShell, VBScript, …). 
    Supported object types: files and folders, registry keys, printers, services, network shares, WMI
    So using this tool you can create script to automate Windows permissions.
    2. Then you can use the created script as the Startup script in the GPO with privileges to allow the permission changes.

  • Registry key to change desktop icon size

    By default Windows 7 has desktop icon view set to Medium. I want to change the default user NTuser.dat hive as part of SCCM build so that each new user has small size by default, but can change if they wish (hence can't do it as a GPO)
    Does anyone know the registry key(s) to change?
    Ian Burnell, London (UK)

    Hi,
    This view size is controlled by HKU specific user registry. Thus it can't be mapping to another user account.
    If you insist, there is a complex workaround(However I wouldn't like to recommend you use this method):
    Copy the following registry value to place another user's registry.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
    Note: It can't be imported, just copy its value.

  • "Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"

    "Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"
    I am getting the above error when trying to install the 1.3 JRE (installed with the 1.3 plug in which I need). As part of my development I have been installing and uninstalling the JRE multiple times. Then, I got the above error when trying to install it, and now it appears to be installed but I cannot uninstall it. When I try to uninstall it, it just remains, and when I try to install it again I get the above error. I have tried cleaning up all javasoft registry entries, but it doesnt seem to have helped. Can anyone help me either completely uninstall the JRE so I can do a clean install or help me get rid of the error above when I install. Is there some registry entries I should be looking at? Anything else? this is quite urgent as I need to test my applet with the plugin installed and not installed - and I currently cant uninstall it. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help

    I am getting this same error message when trying to upgrade from 1.3.1_03 to 1.3.1_19.
    I have multiple versions of jre's and jdks on my machine.
    Anyone else seen this problem or know how to resolve it.

  • I can not re-install/ update apple iTunes on my HP PC running Win7-64.  I get a registry key error when installing and am asked to make sure I have access.  IT is a home PC with one user and I have admin priveledges.

    When the updater notified me of an iTunes update, I selected the update option.  The update failed and killed the version I was running.  I have tried for a year to fix the problem without sucess.  I can't completely remove all Apple products.  I can not install any apple products especially iTunes which is the only one I am interested in.
    When I install iTunes now I get a registry key error similar to this:
    I am using a machine where I am the only user and am the Admin.   I have looked at the security settings on this key and see nothing wrond with it or the parent keys.  I tried removing all apple products but ran into similar problems.  At this time I still have Bonjour. Mobile Device Support, Software Update, and Application Support installed.

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

  • Java Plug-in not working with WinXP SP2 Registry Key Missing Error Pop-Up

    I have WinXp PRO with SP2 and the Oct 12 Security Update Patch for SP2 loaded and I went to my Control Panel and saw that the JavaRuntime Environment 1.4.2_04 icon was missing and when I went to click the Java Plugin icon to Open it, I got the following message in a Error Pop-Up window:
    The system cannot find the registry key specified:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java pPlug-in\1.4.2_04\JavaHome
    I then went to Chage Access Program Controls and when I clicked on the Change box for the program, it wanted me to re-install the whole environment.
    Prior to doing this, and potentially screwing up my MS winXp environment, I went to the Sun support page for Java Plug-in and I did get the dancing elmo appear as they said I would but I noticed that my environment was MS VM, not Java and that I was out of date and a newer update was avaliable.
    The downloads page for the plug-in states clearly that it supports WinXp SP1 and NOT SP2.
    SO, my question is, do I need to re-install anything or wait till the whole SP2 issue and java with (BITS) issue gets resolved and just use the MS VM engine during my browsing time? Is there a workaround and what impact will this have on my system? I am not developing Java Apps but am a Power user in Windows who is wondering if applets and general browsing might be easier, faster and more fluid if the Java Runtime was enabled as opposed to the MS VM solution?
    Any ideas or thoughts on this very timely issue would be greatly appreciated as I see others have tried to post related issues but none that succinctly combines what I have asked for here in this post.
    Thanks from NYC -Phil

    did you know that XP SP2 has so many technical problems? try SP1 or contact the WindowsXP Vendor

  • How to get registry key lastwritetime using batch/powershell

    Hello,
    I want to get a registry key's LastWriteTime using batch/powershell.  These are what i have tried..
    1. Launch regedit and manually export the key using the UI, this gives me the lastwritetime, but I need a commandline version of this.  regedit /e only exports the key and value data.
    2. dir HKLM:\software\mykey
    nothing returned
    3. Get-ChildItem HKLM:\software\mykey |  Select-Object *
    nothing returned
    4. Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\software\mykey | Select-Object *
    LastWriteTime not returned; other values are returned
    5. (Get-Item HKLM:\software\mykey).LastWriteTime
    Nothing is returned
    Is the only way to do this by using pinvoke with RegQueryInfoKey? 
    Thanks in advance

    The
    .zip on the repository will still work for version 2. Basically, you'll get a definition for a function called 'Add-RegKeyMember'. You can dot source the provided script, or you can copy the function definition into your own script. You would use it like
    this:
    # Using Get-Item:
    PS> Get-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE | Add-RegKeyMember | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName  
    # Using Get-ChildItem:
    PS> Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE | Add-RegKeyMember | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName  
    # Passing a path:
    PS> Add-RegKeyMember HKLM:\SOFTWARE | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
    There's also a proxy function for Get-ChildItem that will automatically add the property anytime you use Get-ChildItem (dir, ls, gci) on a registry path. The PSv3 only method I was talking about simply updates the type data to automatically call the function
    on any RegistryKey object. You can actually set version 2 up to do that, but it requires an XML file.

  • I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

    When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
    I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
    Any suggestions?

  • Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2

    Hi,
    I have a Primary site (mixed mode) running SCCM 2007 SP1 for many months now with no issues.
    This site is made up of two Win 2008 sp2 servers sharing the SCCM roles:-
    SCCM01 - Site server, DP, RP, PXE and SQL2005 hosting the SCCM database
    SCCM02 – SUP, MP, FSP, SLP
    The SQL2005 on SCCM01 is running under a domain service account called
    domain\service_sccm which is also a sysadmin in SQL as is the SCCM02 server.
    In an effort to resolve the isse I have made this account a Domain Admin.
    I have also used this account to log onto SEC01 to run the Secondary Site installation and to be the SQL Service account.
    I'm now trying to add a Secondary Site on a Domain Controller called SEC01 (also Win2008 sp2) and on the same LAN as the SCCM01/02.
    This is where I get problems.
    I run the installation locally on the Sec Site server (DC) as a Domain Admin and the installation completes OK (all green ticks),
    the ComponentSetup.log and Pre-Reqs are all good as well however when I check the ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the below -
    Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2.

    Adding the PMP role to SEC01 also fails to install and no MPSetup or MPControl logs are created.
    WebDav and win2008 roles, features all added and server fully patched.
    Despooler.log on SCCM01 seems good and passing keys.
    Tried installing to default path and to shortened path such as C:\SCCM
    The new secondary site is listed in the console and an address can be added for the Secondary Site
    BITS Server Extensions and Remote Differential Compression Features are enabled.
    The Group memberships all appear ok:-
    SCCM01
    Local Admins    
    contains the sec site server SEC01, SCCM01, installation accounts
    SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_001              
    SEC01 (the sec site server)
    SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_001                 
    SCCM02
    SEC01
    No Local Admins as a DC
    SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_002              
    SCCM01
    SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_002     
    empty
    SQL 2005
    This has the account logged in during installation as a sysadmin
    SCCM02 is also sysadmin
    The fundamental issue appears to be that the SEC01$ server account is not being added to SQL Logins (and therefore SCCM database Roles)
    therefore the installation cannot complete.
    I have tried to manually add the SEC01 account to SQL Logins before installation of Sec Site but this did not work.
    Not sure if the fact that SEC01 is a DC may be a factor.
    Appreciate any help if anyone has seen this before or can suggest a resolution.
    Thanks

    After a lot of digging around and head scratching I eventually found the resolution.
    The original thread title Error turned out to be a bit of a red herring in that my failure to deploy Sec Sites came down to two separate issues seemingly unrelated to the error message of the thread title.
    The first part of the resolution was to manually create the SQL Server accounts for the Sec Site Servers and assign them to the smsdbrole_MP DB role to
    let the SQL side of the SCCM install complete a s these were not being created automatically.
    This then left the fact that that the installation of the Sec Site completed successfully according to the install logs in C:\ however the DP and MP would
    never install.
    The big clue was eventually contained in the mpfdm.log errors relating to
    **ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER 
    and
    **ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox Asset Intelligence KB Manager on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER 
    Thankfully the errors led me to these two blogs:
    http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2009/07/20/error-cannot-find-path-for-destination-inbox-sms-amt-proxy-component-on-server-registry.aspx
    and
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5fcc53d4-8629-4b34-9eaa-6cb020eedc13/
    As it turned out the SCCM installation registry and folder creation does not complete and I had to manually enter the reg settings as detailed in the
    links above to complete the installation. Once I did as described everything worked a treat – all my MPs and DPs are 100% now.

  • Notification Server error 2, Registry Key not found?

    Hello everyone,
    I've got more of a cosmetic problem as it seems atm. When checking the Component Status, I see some red crosses in a couple of components. Two being SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER. The site itself seems to be working okay, although
    it has some problems here and there, but nothing too troubling.
    The first error, located in SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER, states that a the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\NotificationServer cannot be written and returns error code 6 - handle invalid.
    The second error, located in SMS_NOTIFICATION_SERVER, states that the above mentioned key cannot be found and returns error 2 - cannot find file specified.
    I've checked the registry and the key is definitely there. I also checked the permissions and local service, system and the Primary Sites computer account have full permissions.
    The Key contains three values:
    - Default - REG_SZ - No Data
    - Reserved 1 - REG_SZ - No Data
    - Reserved 2 - REG_SZ - No Data
    I've found this
    thread that suggests a site reset as the solution, but that was already done two weeks ago and it's currently not an option as this is a live production system.
    Any suggestions?
    Best Regards,
    Fred

    Hi Torsten,

    what is the registry key in Adobe Acrobat v9 which turns the dialog off: any form fields that have the same name in the merged documents are now...

    There is no key because that is an important dialog.  Why would you want it to go away?

  • How do I identify the latest file modifications, application install, and registry key modification for Security Forensics.... using GP Audit for registry/file system

    Hello,
    Title pretty much states it all. I initially set out (as part of a Security Forensics initiative) to identify the most recently installed applications, modified files, and registry key changes using PowerShell. I attempted to pull this information and sort
    them by date installed/last modified, but it was brought to my attention this information isn't always present and can be modified - so it's not accurate.
    At that time it was suggested we use Group Policy auditing for Registry and File System -  but I'm not sure how I'm going to use/pull these in PowerShell? This will be used on remote host all over the world so local physical access isn't an option.
    My question is:
    Once Group Policy Auditing for Registry and File System has been enabled, how would I go about pulling those audit logs for review once a system has been identified as compromised? I'm brand new to this GP Auditing (we have a separate team for that) so feel
    free to take it from the beginning. :)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Here are a few suggestions for you:
    Ensure Remote Registry service is started on local and remote machines.
    Add the – Credential option and supply administrative credentials within the command.
