Windows Active directory group policy objects

Like many small to medium businesses, we use Firefox in addition to Internet Explorer. The Windows Active Directory group policy objects we have for IE works nicely in all versions of IE. Firefox on the other hand has stopped playing ball. Any policy files I have found on the Internet simply does not fire when used in Windows Group Policy. We have Windows 2008 R2 servers with Windows 7 clients.
Does Mozilla have official group policy objects that will work with Windows Active Directory group policy and is supported in Firefox versions 27 onwards? A lot of the material on the Internet are simply workarounds to achieve something simple.
I believe this may have been asked several times already, but no definitive answer has been supplied to
resolve the issue to my knowledge.
Thanks and regards

To my knowledge, Firefox historically has not had integration with group policy, and third party tools have been required to bridge the gap. You may have found templates that work in one of those tools.
These threads have links to third party tools, articles, mailing lists, and other resources:

* [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/978874 Is it possible to configure firefox using group policy]
Please report back if you find a solution. Thanks.

  • Windows active directory logs

    Hi,
    We are using Windows active directory to manage our users. Another company has configured the same for us.
    Currently we don't have permissions to create a new user. They have given us one account and by using that account, we are able to create new groups in AD, add users to the groups, etc. We would like to get the logs for each user removal or addition to the
    AD groups. How do we enable the same. We would like to know who  and when each user is getting added to the AD groups. Please help us in this.

    Hi Kewpin,
    To enable the complete details on user account account changes including group membership, you need enable the following audit settings,
    1. Open GPMC console, click Start --> Administrative Tools --> Group Policy Management.
    2. Right click the Default Domain Controllers Policy, and then click Edit.
    3. Navigate to Audit Policy node, “Computer Configuration/ Policies/ Windows Settings/ Security Settings/ Local Policies/ Audit Policy”.
    4. Now enable the Success auditing for - Audit Account Management and Audit Directory Service Access.
    5. Execute the command “GPUPDATE /FORCE” in the Domain Controller to force apply the GPO settings.
    For Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions, additional configuration is required in  “Advanced Audit Policy Configuration” section in Default Domain Controller Policy.
    For additional auditing configuration of,
    1. AD Changes 
        Go to the node DS Access (Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Advanced Audit Policy Configuration/Audit Policies/DS Access.) 
       Enable Success auditing for the following settings
        - Audit Directory Service Changes
    2. Account Management
        Go to the node Account Management (Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Advanced Audit Policy Configuration/Audit Policies/Account Management.) 
       Enable Success auditing for the following settings
       - Audit User Account Management
       - Audit Security Group Management
       - Audit Distribution Group Management
    Once you have enabled the above audit settings, you can set an auditing SACL for the AD object.
    Checkout the below screenshot for setting the  auditing SACL,
    Checkout the below link on Security Event id list for auditing AD changes,

  • Windows Active Directory replacement

    Hello All,
    My company is using Windows Active Directory and now we are going to replace it with Novell solution. Is there any product from Novell to replace Windows Active Directory for 2 main features?
    - Group Policy
    - Windows users and workstations authentication and administration
    I did some researches on Domain Service for Windows, Identity Manager, ZENworks. Could you give me advice on which product meet my requirement?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,

    Well, that depends. If there's a need to still supply AD functionality
    after MAD is gone, then yes DSfW is a replacement. However, if that's
    not a requirement, then ZENworks Configuration Management is likely a
    better choice since it will provide much more Windows desktop
    administration capabilities than DSfW (or MAD) alone.

  • SharePoint 2013 Active Directory Groups represented as c:0+.w| SID in UserInformation list instead of c:0+.w|Domain\Groupname

    Hi
    We are running on SharePoint Server 2013.When we add AD groups as permissions, we see that the group name is being displayed properly in the permissions. Whereas when I click on the groupname I see the SID with the Sharepoint specific claims characters,
    instead of domain\groupname. I understand that the claims characters are because of claims mode. But I expected domain\groupname instead of SID. Is this the right behaviour.
    When I call SiteData.GetContent web service, I get the SID of the group name instead of the domain\groupname.
    Can someone please clarify?
    Thanks
    Naga

    Hi,
    Yes, the identity claim for an AD group is based on the SID of the group. The claim encoding for an Active Directory group consists of the following sections:
    c:0+.w|<SID>
    •"c" for a claim other than identity
    •"+" for a group SID
    •"." for a string
    •"w" for a Windows claim

  • Win 2K8 R2 - Group Policy Management - Failed to Open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. The network path was not found.

    New to Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration.
    I setup this Windows 2008 R2 Server on a Dell 2950 Poweredge server and have been migrating users off of an old NT style domain running on Samba 3.6 on CentOS.
    I have the domain setup (nicholas.sacredheartsaratoga.org), added users, and have moved users / computers over to the new domain and working.
    When attempting to setup Group Policy Objects, I continually get the "Failed to Open Group Policy Object" Error.  This is driving me nuts and seems to be a 49 error.. which I have done a ton of research on but none of the suggested fixes seem
    to be working.

  • 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.

  • How to apply Software Restriction policy for specific user in local group policy object ?

    I am working on implementing user based software restriction policy programmatically for local group policy object.
    If i create a policy through Domain Controller,i do have option for software restriction policy in user configuration but in local group policy editor i don't have option for that.
    When i look for the changes made by policy applied from Domain Controller in registry, they modifies registry values for specific users on path HKEY_USERS\(SID of User)\Softwares\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\Codeidentifiers
    They also have registry.pol stored in SYSvol folder in Domain Controller. When i make the same changes in registry to block any other application, application is getting blocked.
    I achieved what i wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?  
    PS:- I am using Igrouppolicyobject API

    I achieved what I wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?
    You also can modify a registry programmatically based policy. Check this:

  • SharePoint 2013 Workflow (SPD 2013) fails for Active Directory Group members

    Hi
    I have a SharePoint 2013 site called "Team Meetings". There are a number of lists and an InfoPath form library.
    The site's SharePoint Group "Team Meeting Members" has two Active Directory groups (All Club Managers and All Club Police) as members. Those two AD groups contain all the people that I want to have  access to the library and list, except for
    a few additional folk who I have made individual members. 
    My PROBLEM:
    I  have created a SharePoint 2013 Workflow using SPD 2013 associated with the  Form Library. Workflow is set to start on new or modified item. The first action is to write to history list, then determine the status (Submitted or Pending) of
    the form and go to different Stages depending on that status.
    The workflow works perfectly for any user who has been added directly to the SharePoint group (Team Meetings Members) BUT FAILS at the very first action for anyone who is a member of one of the AD groups. I know the Workflow is fine because I've tested it
    with numerous people who are direct members of the SharePoint Group, but whenever a person who is a member of the AD group tries it the Workflow just fails.
    Here's a print of the info from the Workflow Status page (I don't have access to server logs):
    RequestorId: 4494760f-92ff-2e8c-90d2-cc7df0e6baa4. Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"Transfer-Encoding":["chunked"],"X-SharePointHealthScore":["0"],"SPRequestGuid":["4494760f-92ff-2e8c-90d2-cc7df0e6baa4"],"request-id":["4494760f-92ff-2e8c-90d2-cc7df0e6baa4"],"X-FRAME-OPTIONS":["SAMEORIGIN"],"MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices":["15.0.0.4420"],"X-Content-Type-Options":["nosniff"],"X-MS-InvokeApp":["1;

    The HTTP response content could not be read. 'Error while copying content to a stream.'. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance
    instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor 
    Members of the SharePoint Group "Team Meetings Members" have Contribute Access to both the form library and another list that the workflow writes to as well as the Workflow History list (which in SP 2013 uses the credentials of the
    user who started the workflow, unlike 2010 which used System Account).
    All members of the Team Meetings Members group, whether they are individual members or part of one of the AD groups, have no problems opening and saving forms etc. It's just the Workflow that doesn't like them...
    I am stumped. I've spent many hours searching for a reason for this. There are about 200 people in the two AD groups so I really don't want to have to add them all individually - especially when these groups are managed in AD for a whole bunch of other reasons
    and using the AD groups means I'll basically never have to worry about modifying the SharePoint access permissions.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can try to fix it?
    Mark

    Hi Lars,
    I'm afraid not so far but we are trying a few things today so I will post back with results.
    First thing we are doing is making the AD Group universal because one of our (external provider) gurus remembers seeing something about that. He also sent me a link to a post where they were talking about earlier
    versions but having similar issues and their solution was to make sure the app pool account has sufficient permissions in AD::
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/27a547da-5cc0-49d7-8056-6eb40b4c3242/failed-to-start-workflow-access-is-denied-exception-from-hresult-0x80070005-eaccessdenied
    This part of that thread looks interesting but we haven't checked it yet as were trying the universal setting first:
    "If the users participating in the workflows have been added to the SharePoint site via Active Directory groups, SharePoint has to update the user’s security token periodically by connecting to
    the domain controller. By default, the token times out every 24 hours. But if the application pool account did not have the right permissions on the domain controller to update the user’s token, user will keep getting the access denied error. The error was
    intermittent because when the user browsed to any page other than the workflow form, the token was getting updated successfully.
    You can try to fix it through granting the application pool account the appropriate permission by adding the account to the group “Windows Authorization Access Group” in Active Directory."
    I'll update when we try these ideas. If you have any luck please do the same.

  • Lion Server not reading Active Directory Groups reliably

    I am trying to upgrade one of our XServes from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server and am running into a strange issue with our Active Directory based users and Groups.
    The current Snow Leopard Server serving files from a XSan volume is running fine, though we find a very long Lag time for Windows users to connect. Once a few users have connected the lag seems to go away, but it is still not nearly as fast as Mac users connecting or Windows connecting to a PC server.
    So I have connected a second Xserve to the SAN and performed a clean install of Lion Server. Initially while it would find my Active Directory Groups it would not import any of the users, so obvioulsly no one could connect. In a last ditch effort I installed the beta of 10.7.4, which seemed to resolve the issue for a small group of test users. However as I expanded the test I found that some users would get a message that the were no resources available to them, or they didn't have the correct permissions. This is very strange as everyone is in the same group so should have the same permissions. As a test I took one of the user accounts and created a new share and gave him R/W permission to that share and suddenly all of the shares that he should have had permission to in the first place popped up.
    The only thing that I can think of is that we have such a large Active Directory structure that the authentication is timing out or reaching some user limit and stops looking. (we have over 50,000 users and thousands of groups spread through multiple OUs in the AD structure)
    The new Server.app in Lion looks nice, but it does not seem to have nearly the robustness of the previous Server Admin tools. For instance, I never needed or wanted to setup a "Golden Triangle" but with Lion it is required. Perviously I could search for AD users or groups and drag them from the search window to the share to assign permission, now even though I've imported the groups and users it needs to search the entire directory when assigning permissions - why can't it see the groups that are already there? Why can I run a dscl search and find a user or group instantly, but the Server.app hangs for 5 minutes and shows 0 results?
    Has anyone found a way to make Lion Server work in an enterprise environment?

    Yesterday morning I bound a 10.7.4 server to our AD, and in the afternoon I eventually saw all the AD users, groups, etc show in Workgroup Manager. Now, with dscl, I can see all the AD user and group records, and with Workgroup Manager, I can search the groups, users, and computers, but with the Server.app, when trying to create new group of the type "Imported group from another directory", the searches returned nothing. Directory Utility can show all the AD information also. Our AD has thousands of user record, and so it is reasonable that it may take some time for the Mac server to get all the info. But from the add users or groups interface, I just could not get any search results. What could be wrong then? 

  • Group Policy Object "The Network Path Was Not Found"

    I should also mention even when I go to click on the currently created policies I get the same error as well, but I seem to be able to at least get into their settings if I wanted too.

    Here is the my background of my network.Try to retire a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller (DC) and upgrading to a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller. Currently both server are running as Domain Controllers on the same subnet.An issue I found today was when I went to go create a new group policy object I got an error stating "The Network Path was Not Found." This happens on both the 2003 and 2012 server, so it not just related to one machine. I have done some reading on this and it seems that some people who have a similar error have an issue browsing to their SYSVOL folder for the domain. However I have no issue browsing to that.I have also looked through the even viewer and there doesn't seem to be specific errors related to this. It seems to me like it may be some type of DNS issue, but I am looking for some insight into...

  • [Forum FAQ] The Value drop down list is grayed out when you perform search for Group Policy Objects in GPMC

    Symptom
    On Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, when you use the Search for Group Policy Objects feature in GPMC, the “Value” field is not populated when you choose “User Configuration” as the Search Item. (See Figure 1.)
    <Figure 1>
    Cause
    The happens because the  Data of the (Default) value of the following Registry Key is not correct.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
    By default the Data is (value not set). (see Figure 2)
    <Figure 2>
    Resolution
    The registry keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions] are the Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions. The CSE name of the GUID {4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6} is
    RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
    1. Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
    2. Take the ownership of this key: Right click on the registry key and choose Permissions option and click the Advanced button on the dialogue window. Then on the Advanced Security Settings dialogue window, click Change button to take the ownership
    of the key for the current logon account and make the current logon account Full Control permission with the registry key. (See Figure 3.)
    <Figure 3> 
    3. Change the data of (Default) value from "(value not set)" to
    "RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Component". (See Figure 4)
    <Figure 4>
    4. Once the steps above are completed, the Value drop down list will be populated again when you perform Search in GPMC. (See Figure 5)

  • Group policy error: Failed to open group policy object on this computer.

    Hi all,
    I received this message when i tried to look at the local group policy setting on one of my machines (Windows XP SP3), which is joined in my domain.
    "Failed to open group policy object on this computer. You may not have appropriate rights.
    Details:
    Unspecified error."
    note that I am local admin.
    It's all started when I was troublshooting WSUS connectivity and i looked at the WinsdowsUpdate.log, the WSUS server was <Null> & WSUS status server <Null>, I tried to force the domain GP by using GPupdate /force, it went fine and asked to
    log off, but nothing changed in the WindowsUpdate.log still <Null>. Then i tried to look at the local policy setting.
    I searched the internet nothing related to my case.
    Thanks in advance for advising.

    I guess reinstall windows is the solution, I also found one log "event id 1096", related to "registry.pol" it was corrupted.
