The script that you?re running below is querying GPOs for which CSEs they?ve
implemented. However, I was referring to metadata left on the client,
particularly in the GP history keys of the registry. If you are running that
script and its showing Disk Quota still exists in a GPO but you truly don?t
have any defined there, then you would need to manually edit the
gpcMachineExtensionNames or gpcUserExtensionNames attributes on the GPC
object in AD for that GPO to remove the GUID-pair that relates to that CSE.
Its not a trivial exercise if you aren?t familiar with it and might not be
worth mucking with unless the report you get from that script is important.

Darren,

 

Did you find a way to clean up the history related to CSEs? Cos I?ve come
upon a similar ?problem?.

 

I recently used CSEs with one of the standard gpmc scripts:

FindGPOsByPolicyExtension.wsf /PrintCSEList

While running FindGPOsByPolicyExtension.wsf against the Disk Quota CSE, it
still comes up with the name of a GPO that doesn?t have anything configured
in the Disk Quota policy anymore?

 

Guess I?ll have to clean up its history somewhere, but I don?t know where.

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Hendrikus

Thanks Darren. I?ve been at this organization for 2yrs now and those 2
errors have always been there, and I know I didn?t put any SI policy in
place. J  I did some research on how to get rid of those errors and the get
rid of the Event 1085 error but didn?t come up with anything. I?m not
familiar too much with what Client-Side Extensions are. I read about them
some time ago, but didn?t understand them too much. I assume that?s what you
meant in your last couple statements about old CSEs?

 

Thanks again.

What those two messages tell me is that, first, that a script policy failed
to run because the script in question could not be found and, that the
software installation policy failed to run because it needs a reboot or
re-logon to actually do something. The fact that you no longer have SI
policy could just mean that on the client in question, the registry metadata
related to GP that is used by RSOP has not gotten cleaned up since you
removed that policy. I actually found a bug in GP results when I was
building my GPExpert Health Reporter where, if a CSE no longer applies to a
computer or user, the history related to that CSE does not get cleaned up in
all cases. That can result in old CSE errors showing up even though the CSE
no longer is being run. I suspect that is what is happening in this case.

Hi All,

I?ve always gotten the following errors when I?ve run the GPResults wizard
and not sure why. I?ve tried searching possible causes/resolutions and had
no success. I also have errors in Event Viewer (Event ID 1085) and have had
those for what seems like forever. I?m not experiencing any GP issues, as
far as I can tell?.all seems to be working fine. It?s more of a ?clean-up?
kinda thing really. Although, one of my GPOs doesn?t seem to work right
(Offline File Sharing?still testing that out, though).

 

Error1:

Scripts failed due to the error listed below.

The system cannot find the file specified. 

Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in
the console or the application event log for events between 4/3/2008 9:35:20
AM and 4/3/2008 9:35:20 AM

 

Error2:

Software Installation did not complete policy processing because a system
restart is required for the settings to be applied. Group Policy will
attempt to apply the settings the next time the computer is restarted.

Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in
the console or the application event log for events between 4/3/2008 9:50:34
AM and 4/3/2008 9:50:34 AM.

 

Funny thing is we have no software installation package or anything like
that. We just have software installation security settings configured (i.e.
User -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Software Restriction
Policies & Security Levels).

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
