RE: [ActiveDir] Group Policy not working?!

2006-06-16 Thread Almeida Pinto, Jorge de



GPOs only apply to users and/or computer accounts and 
nothing else!
Said in another way: the objects to be managed (users 
and/or computers) must fall within the scope of management (SOM) of a GPO that 
is linked to some OU (the objects must be directly in the OU the GPO is linked 
to or in a sub-OU of it)
 
using security groups is an option for security 
filtering.so let's say you have an OU with 1000 users and you link a GPO to 
that same OU (remember the SOM!), BUT you only want that the GPO applies to the 
first 500 users and not the second 500 users. One of the ways to do that is to 
create a security group somewhere in the domain (I mean: it's location is not 
important for this to work) and give that security group READ and APPLY to the 
GPO that is linked to the OU with the objects it should apply to. Don't forget 
to remove READ and APPLY for authenticated users! Now, to make sure the GPO only 
aplies to the first 500 users, make sure the first 500 users are members of that 
security group that has READ and APPLY to that GPO! The second 500 users will 
never look at or apply that GPO because they will not see it
 
cheers,
jorge

I didn’t exactly make that clear,
did I?

 

The group policy will apply to the user
object located within their site, domain and OU. You can however stop or allow
specific policies from taking effect by using the ACL on each policy.

RE: [ActiveDir] Group policy not working on assigned app

2006-01-11 Thread Darren Mar-Elia
Alex-
There are a variety of causes for these errors. They are kind of
catch-alls for a client's inability to access the SYSVOL portion of a
GPO. Here are some things to look for:

--TCP/IP Netbios Helper service not running on client (needs to be)
--DNS not properly configured on client to resolve DCs
--FRS not replicating SYSVOL properly to all DCs (if DC that client is
hitting has incomplete SYSVOL replica, you'll get these errors)
--Permissions on FRS replicas are 'whacked', preventing read access by
machine or user

I'm guessing that if GPMC can't find the SYSVOL path, then its one of
these issues above. However, it could also be caused by network timing
issues on the client. If the above don't pan out, check out one of
these:

I'm sure I'm not the first one to have problem w. GP in regards to
assign/publish apps. 
The problem I'm having is the app assigned under GP won't run.
After running the GP modeling wizard under GPMC it says it couldn't load
GP because it couldn't find the path. Then in DC's event log, it records
events 1030 & 1058. Event 1058 is pointing to a path:
(domain\sysvol\domain\Policies\{A}& file (gpt.ini) that doesn't
exist on the DC.

Any quick solutions before I run google this and check MS KBs?

Thanks

RE: [ActiveDir] Group Policy Not working

2005-04-29 Thread Kevin Sullivan








I can attest for the poicyreporter it
really does a good job. Also for managing logging I think Darren (GPOGuy) Mar
Elia has a great little solution he provides for dealing with logging (http://www.gpoguy.com/Tools.htm#GPO%20Logging%20ADM).
He has a few other cool things up there as well…

 

Regarding your issue a couple of
observations and questions…


 The
 GPResults are from 30 minutes after the last Group Policy refresh occurred,
 I assume you are forcing an update to test?…
 Did
 you look at bostondc2.healthnet.org to see that everything was in place?
 Did
 you try to run the script manually and did it succeed?


Just curious because it looks good but
remember that the script is not the policy. The fact that autoprint showed up
in the results is really just showing you that the GPO applied which configured
the machine to execute a certain script during a certain event. This report
does not tell you if that was configured just that the GPO was processed.

 

Lastly, what does the script look like?

 

Kevin

Hi Christine,





 





Seems like it should work! 





 





I always find the UserEnv.Log is a good place to start. If you activate
Detailed logging, then logon to the workstation it provides detailed info in
the file in %windir%\debug\usermode\userenv.log.

Here is a reference to activating the logging:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/2000/server/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url="">

Unfortunately, the log is a little confusing to the uninitiated, but it
contains all of the steps involved in GPO processing, searching each OU for
GPO's, checking access to each GPO, finding active extensions in each policy
then actually processing them.





 





To assist in this, we
have a free utility that will process the log and display it in a meaningful
way. It also provides a button to turn on and off detailed logging.

That's actually a relatively common security measure. I know our company

Since we're designing our GP architecture now, and will be using VBS,
it's good to know that it's an issue. It will affect a LOT of machines
in our enterprise. 
I wonder, short of changing the file association, if there's a way to
execute the scripts by using a command along the lines of "cscript

haven't looked at it at all yet.
That will definitely be part of our testing... :-)

RE: [ActiveDir] Group Policy Not working

2005-04-28 Thread Jeff Salisbury



A couple thoughts for you:
  - It looks like the .vbs extension is associated 
with notepad or another editor on the computer you tested, which is why it 
opened for viewing or editing. Your logon script should be setup to call the 
Windows Scripting Host explicitly with the path to the script file. For example 
"cscript.exe c:\scripts\map-printer.vbs".
  - I vaguely remember having problems a few years ago 
when I started creating logon scripts when trying to map drives or printers 
(can't recall which). These were all fixed by installing the latest version of 
the Windows Scripting Host. You can download WSH 5.6 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">.
  - In your script you might want to create a text log 
file that records the results of each action. If the log file isn't present, you 
will know the script didn't even run. If it is present, it should have the 
information you need to do further debugging.

Can you share what the script is doing? Also, it might be 
worthwhile to put some debugging into it to see where it fails and with what 
messages. If you're not familiar with debugging in VBScript, then add the 
following statement to the beginning of your script:
 
On Error Resume Next
 
 
and then after each major operation that "does something" 
that isn't just variable assignment (e.g. after sets or gets) put the following 
if then: 
 
If err <> 0 then
    Wscript.echo err.message
End if
 
And then see where it bails and with what 
message.

2005-04-28 Thread Peter Jessop
The first thing you should check is to see if the GP is being applied.
You can do this on w2K by running gpresult on the hosts where it's not
working. You should also check they do not have script blocking
software installed.
