XP group policy no applying

Hi all: This has me scratching my head. We run ZCM 11.2.2 mu2 on all servers and workstations. The primary server is on an OES2 SP3 box while all clients run Windows XP sp3, ZCM 11.2.2 mu2 and the Novell client.
I have a particular group of users which has two policies assigned to them. The first is a user-associated Windows XP user Group Policy, and the second is a Windows XP Workstation computer policy. ZENworks adaptive agent shows them as successful.
The policy in question is a Windows XP User Group Policy. When I run rsop.msc, the resulting GP set clearly shows none of the user group policy settings present, but as stated above, the adaptive agent does show them as successful. The only thing I can think of is that the user group policy is being over-written by another policy. In the past there was a setting make sure the user policy was applied last.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks, Chris.

The setting is still there, when you assign the policy in step 2 it will ask the following:
Specify how policy conflicts should be resolved.
User Last - device associated policies applied first followed by user associated policies
Device Last - user associated policies applied first followed by device associated policies
Device Only - user associated policies ignored
User Only - device associated policies ignored

Win7 Computer Config group policy not applying

Hi all: I am having a bit of trouble getting a Computer Configuration group policy to apply in Windows 7 using ZCM 11.2.3. I have two group policies, one for User Configuration settings and the other for Computer Configuration settings. User Config GP is associated with users and Computer Config GP is associated with Workstations. ZCM shows both policies as being successfully applied. Yet, if I run rsop.msc to generate a resultant GP set, all Computer Config settings show up as undefined.
I have used this same technique in XP for many years without issue. I suspect the User Config GP is overwriting all GP settings as it is the last to be applied, but since that policy is ONLY for User Config settings I do not see how. Can someone show me the "errors of my ways"?
Thanks a bunch, Chris.

I have an identical policy setup - a policy wherein "Computer configuration" is checked and configured (I don't even touch the User related settings) and is applied to workstations as well as a second policy with "User configuration" checked and configured (as with the computer policy, I don't touch the Computer related policy in this User policy) and applied to users. I set it up that way because I want general settings specific to our environment to exist and be effective for all users including IT staff in the Computer policy. I then want to restrict users within the User Policy. I have no Active Directory.
The computer settings apply intermittently with no rhyme or reason, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot. I have Internet Zone Assignments configured in the Computer policy, so specific users have problems when this policy is not effective which is how I became aware of the problem. I found that I can run "gpudate /force" as the user and the computer policy becomes effective, which is what I do most of the time since it's a quick fix and I can move on to other things. I've tried changing the order the policies are applied. I am considering creating a single policy with both computer and user settings and associating it with users in hopes that it will always apply, but thought I'd check out the forum before doing so. ZCM 11.2.3 and Windows 7.

Group Policy not Applying

Currently we are running ZfD 7 and Netware 6.5 and have recently upgraded all our workstations to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Our tree structure consists of an OU for each school level, elementary, middle, and high, and an OU for each school in that respective level. Example:
Elementary
West Main
South Main
Middle
Brown Middle
The current contents in each School OU have users, groups, policies, ect. Previously policy was applied by a workstation policy package that distributed all policies: user, machine, and security which were associated with the School OU. Now we split the policy into workstation packages and a user packages. The goal was to have the workstation apply the machine and security policy and the user policy to apply user settings and create dynamic the local user account.
The workstation policy remains persistent on the workstation while the user policy creates a local user (non-volatile) and applies the user policy from a server path depending on group membership. We have four different user policy packages: Student, Teacher, Specialist and Technology. Each with there own group policy user configuration. Everyone in our Tree has the appropriate permissions to access the policies. We configure the user policy package as follows:
Policies  Windows XP
Enabled Dynamic Local User
Enabled Windows Group Policy
Workstation Manager
Network Location
\\serverpath
Checked User Configuration
Policy Schedule
User Desktop is active
Advanced Schedule
Impersonation
Interactive User
Associations
Groups (Teachers, Students)
I can get the workstation policy to apply with no problem. The problem comes when a users logs on. It doesnt matter if a new user is being created or if they are simply just switching users. User group policy doesnt apply randomly. The strange thing is it does copy down to the machine. If I connect to the admin share on a newly imaged workstation (with no policy applied) and open c:\windows\system32\ you see the creation of GroupPolicy.Usercache Folder and it copies to the GroupPolicy Folder which is were it applies policy from. Also you can see policy dynamically changing if different users logs on. The Registry.pol updates in the c:\windows\system32\ GroupPolicy.Usercache\User folder and c:\windows\system32\ GroupPolicy \User Sometimes group policy applies and sometimes it does not. When a user logs on you see the policy that was copied down apply. For example the run option is taken away from the start menu. During the log on process this remains in effect but when the process completes its almost like policy is take away. When this occurs I can run WMSCHED.Exe and reapply the user policy and it will apply sometimes. I tried applying group policy through both groups and organizational units. Both with the same results. I was wondering if anyone has had issues with applying group policy with ZEN or if I am doing this incorrectly. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Windows 2008 R2 group policy not applied to windows 8 Workstations, but applied to XP and Win 7

I have a Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers and have a Policy to put a specify wallpaper, eventuality i have to change the Wallpaper, this setting applied sucesfully in Windows xp and Windows 7 workstations, but not applied in Windows 8 workstations even
if i run gpupdate /forcé,
Best Regards,
Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
Before going further, would you please let me know how did you configure the Group Policy setting to deploy the wallpaper? Have you configured some settings to limit the scope the GPO applying?
If all Windows 8 machines failed to receive the GPO settings? In order to narrow down the cause of the issue, I suggest we could try to collect the following information for troubleshooting.
GPMC.log
==================
a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select the proper
user in the wizard)
c. Right click
the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.
Once we get the report, please check if the settings have been applied to the target correctly.
In addition, would you please let me know whether you have imported the latest Windows 8 Administrative Templates to the Windows Server 2008 DC? If not, please try to download and import it.
Then try to configure the wallpaper GPO settings again to see if it could help.
For details, please refer to the following articles.
Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991
Set Desktop Background via Group Policy in Windows 7, Windows 8 in a Server 2008 or Server 2012 Domain

Group Policy not applying after logoff \ logon

We've noticed during testing an issue around Local Group Policy applied via ZCM...
- user A logs in, policy applies correctly (folder redirection, taskbar settings etc)
- user A logs off
- user B logs in, policy applies correctly
- user B logs off
- user A logs in again, policy does not apply
The only way to get policy to apply again for user A is to either reboot or delete the local profile for the user manually
A few other details...
- Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x86
- DLU Policy applied (non volatile user)
- user does not have admin rights (in the Users+ group)

Power Manager - no new profiles, group policy not applying

Hi there!
Having an issue with power manager (latest version, downloaded today) on Vista on a T61. The first problem is that I cannot create a power profile. If I hit New on the advanced page and fill all the stuff out, the named power plan does not show up. It's like I never did it.
The second issue is that group policy doesn't seem to apply, either. I tried to create a new power policy through AD using the GPO available for download. All the settings are filled out, it's named, and it doesn't show up.
For those concerned that the group policy is mucking up the ability to create a new one through the UI, that was the behavior before the group policy was set up.
rsop.msc shows definitively that the policy is applying to this machine.
Does anyone have any hints?
Thank you!

Outlook 2013 - wrap text group policy applied, not working with or without digital signature

Hello,
I'm adding group policies to apply on our new installations of Windows 8.1 with Office 2013. One of the settings being applied is enforcing plain text emails and wrapping text at a certain number of characters. Policies are being added using the Outlook
2013 admx.
When I check the options inside Outlook 2013 the group policy did apply successfully (File, Options, Mail, scroll down to Message Format) The option to "Automatically wrap text at character:" is set to 132 and not adjustable as it should be.
In the group policy I have it set to wrap at 132 characters, but when I go to a client machine and send a digitally signed email, it wraps at the default 76 characters. This makes for very annoying short blocky emails and multi-line hyperlinks.
If I do not digitally sign the email then the text doesn't wrap at all! (until it meets the end of the window). So under no circumstances is it wrapping at 132 where it's supposed to.
Thanks,
-Nick

Hi,
What is your account type in Outlook? Exchange or others?
Please also let me know the email format that you are sending, Plain Text, HTML or Rich Text Format.
You can try sending the same emails in Outlook Safe Mode:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.

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
LeeB

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?

Group Policy Pref - Mapped Drives Not Applying to One User

Hi All,
I’m new to this list, so please excuse any etiquette slip ups. 
I have three users at a site. All their machines are running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and have client side extensions installed. I created a group policy to map their default drives using GP User Preferences.
Each of the drives is set to "update".
As an example of the policy created XML is as follows:
<Drive clsid="{935D1B74-9CB8-4e3c-9914-7DD559B7A417}" name="H:" status="H:"
image="2" changed="2009-11-25 05:13:58"
uid="{8A44D2F4-AAE5-4F43-AEEC-D36F08EA619C}" desc="Maps the users H drive to
ServerName\users$\%username%" bypassErrors="1"><Properties action="U"
thisDrive="NOCHANGE" allDrives="NOCHANGE" userName=""
path="\\ServerName\users$\%username%" label="Home (ServerName)"
persistent="1" useLetter="1" letter="H"/></Drive>
and
<Drive clsid="{935D1B74-9CB8-4e3c-9914-7DD559B7A417}" name="J:" status="J:"
image="0" changed="2009-11-30 03:52:58"
uid="{535CD462-A45D-4363-ADA1-2316D5ECC703}" desc="Maps J drive for users to
\\ServerName\apps" bypassErrors="1"><Properties action="C"
thisDrive="NOCHANGE" allDrives="NOCHANGE" userName=""
path="\\ServerName\Apps" label="Apps (ServerName)" persistent="1"
useLetter="1" letter="J"/></Drive>
The group policy is applied to an OU for that site.
All three users are in the same OU.
All three users are also in the same “xxsitecode Users” group.
2 of the users log into their pc and get the mapped drives with no issue, but one user doesn’t.
There are no other login scripts and the user has no manually mapped drives.
He does have a H drive mapped using the profile field in his AD object as a temp measure. But every 90 mins any other manually mapped drives are removed by the policy.
We don’t use roaming profiles
To trouble shoot I have tried
-    Reinstalling client side extensions
-    Re-joining the pc to the domain
-    Running gpupdate from the command prompt to see if any event logs are generated (none are)
-    Manually mapping the drives to make sure there is network access etc – I can manually map them/he can access them.
-    Creating the user a new account, when he logs in using that account he gets his mapped drives on all PC’s
-    Getting the user to log into a different pc, when he does this he doesn’t get his drives – so it’s not his machine or profile
-    Manually checking the security on the user object in AD against one of the users who gets their drives mapped
I'm sure the GP is fine because it works for two other users and the testing isolates his user account as the issue.
The Policy I’m having issues with is xxxx Mapped Drives/ Printers
I have posted this issue on the tech net GP discussion groups page, but haven’t had any replies.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Simone

What's interesting is that I applied a new GP to users - it has one policy setting and one preferences setting. He only gets the policy setting.. aka he gets the wallpaper but not the homepage.
Also, Jorke asked me to post the gpresult /z .

I can't determine how a group policy is being applied. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm having a problem trying to find how a particular policy is being applied on my domain (I've inherited this domain). When ever a user logs into a domain, the computer get's a new local group policy. One particular attribute is that the local
admin account get's renamed:
I can't figure out where it's coming from. I've run gpresult, and I'm assuming it's the default domain policy.
But when I go to the domain controller and look at the default domain policy, the entry is empty:
I'm really at a loss. However, I really don't think it's the default domain policy, but I can't figure out what else it could be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! -Tim

Does this help

Group Policy isn't entirely applied to desktop

I have 2 different configuration machine. The Group Policy is applied succesfully to the old machine. However it is not entirely applied for the new configuration machine. In this case the Internet Explorer Favorites and Personal are not directed to the user home folder.
The desktop is actually the same, Dell Optiplex 260. The old configuration is Windows XP SP2 with Novell Client 4.1 SP5 and Zenwork 7. The new configuration is using Windows XP SP3, Novell Client 4.1 SP5 and Zenwork 7 SP1. The new configuration machine is mainly fresh install of Windows XP with updated software.
The machine with 2 configuration will using the same Group Policy.
The problem when look at the Group Policy that is stored under SYS\Public\Zenwork\Policies, I can't find anything there to redirect the Favorites folder to user home directory or %USERPROFILE% point to Home Directory. ConsoleOne had been checked for hundreds time for User Package, Workstation Package.
Why the machine with the old configuration can redirect the Favorited folder to the user home directory after successful login, but not for the machine with the new configuration.
We don't set the redirection Favorites folder in the Registry key. We also don't tocuh the local Group Policy.
Am I missing something here?

Well, maybe something in the old image itself was doing the redirection if
you don't see redirection defined in the GPO.
Have you tried adding the Redirection settings into the GPO?

Windows 8 and IE10 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy

We have recently introduced a couple of Windows 8 computers in our network, and we are having issues applying the Internet Explorer Proxy Server settings.
We use a Microsoft TMG 2010 server as our proxy server for accessing the internet.
We have been using a GPO with the following settings to automatically configure our Windows 7 computers running IE9 with the appropriate Proxy settings:
User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Connection/Proxy Settings
“Enable Proxy Settings” : Checked
“Address of proxy” : server.domain.local
“Port” : 8080
“Use the same proxy server for all addresses” : Checked
“Exceptions” : Here we have a list of several internal or partner sites that should not be proxied.
This GPO has worked beautifully for our Windows XP and Windows 7 users with IE 7, 8 and 9.
Now with Windows 8 and IE10, this no longer works.
I’ve therefore added a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller to the network, and using GPMC on that new DC, I created a new GPO with the following settings:
User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings\Internet Explorer 10
Now, seeing as these are preferences, it’s a little different. But, I’ve “checked off” the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN” as well as “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”.
Then I click on “Advanced” and setup all my proxy settings the way I would like them, including the proxy server name, port and exceptions list.
When this new group policy gets applied to my Windows 8 PC, the only setting that gets applied is the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”.
It does not configure the name or port of the proxy server nor does it configure the exceptions list.
If I go back to the GPMC, and edit the new GPO, the settings are all there.
However, if I just view the settings from the main GPMC screen (without opening the GPO itself),
I don’t see all of those settings (again, only the one “Use a proxy server…”)
What am I missing???

Hi All, - (Revised Answer by myself)<o:p></o:p>
I banged my head against the keyboard on this one for some time trying to get this group policy to apply. I
did every thing that was suggested, learning about the F6 and F7 keys to Green underline and Red underline the options required and not required. I even gave in and used the registry settings and it still did not work. It turned out that I had
2 issues. The first one is obvious and the second not so obvious, this is how it is setup:
I have a 2012 R2 Standard DC with Windows 8.1 clients/workstations and IE 11. As you are aware you must make
sure that the following are underlined in green:
Automatically detect settings - (but not ticked)<o:p></o:p>
Use proxy server for your LAN<o:p></o:p>
Bypass Proxy for local address<o:p></o:p>
Next I made sure that the following had red dotted lines:
Address<o:p></o:p>
This still didn't work, so I went through my 'Do Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with' removed all
of these and then re-added one by one until the problem materialized. The first issue was when using wildcards I had added an entry with the following:
http://domain.subdomain.com/*
Then caused my proxy fields not to be applied, I re-added this just with:<o:p></o:p>
http://domain.subdomain.com/
<o:p>This next one is IMPORTANT.</o:p>
I had these entries in a Word document of which I had copied and pasted from the entry box for 'Do
Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with'. As shown in the screen shot above provided by SVEN_BURGER I had very similar entries:
http://domain.subdomain.com/;10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*
Each time I copied and pasted the line (+ more) above the proxy field on the Windows 8.1 client
be blank after using 'gpupdate /force' I then noticed that in my Word document the whole string was being seen as 1 URL due to the http part at the beginning, so I changed my entry to look like this:
10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
I again noticed that this section:
http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
Was being seen as one URL in my Word document. To resolve this I had to add the URL's individually and
apply and OK these before going back in and making the next entry. So I ended up adding them all individually after separating the
URL's in my Word document.
I hope this helps.
