[gptalk] Re: Installing Data Source issue with GPP's?

Hi Darren,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I've checked can't see a permissions issue, but I must confess to not
looking too hard once I'd read that forum post.

 

Any info would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks for all your generous help

 

Andrew

Andrew-

I will check with the product team on this. I have not come across this
but in looking at the error code, that is an "Access Denied" error.
Something doesn't have permissions somewhere. That doesn't help much J. 

 

In terms of using Standard GP, I suspect this stuff is just held in the
registry, but haven't investigated how/where. You may be able to use GP
Preferences Registry extension to work around this.

Hi all,

 

I tried to set up a GPO to deploy an ODBC link using the
'Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Data Sources' setting.

 

It failed with the following error in the Application log:

 

"The computer 'Dimensions' preference item in the 'Install:Dimensions
{A2376B80-4591-4E8A-BF0D-0F5EAA0B92E4}' Group Policy object did not
apply because it failed with error code '0x80004005 Unspecified error'
This error was suppressed."

 

Having done a bit of searching it appears to be a bug as described at
the following link:

 

http://forums.technet.microsoft.com/en-US/winserverGP/thread/060d459c-10
71-431e-afae-a27f1ac255da/

 

Has anyone successfully done this (and therefore it isn't a bug)?

 

Darren - have you got any insight into this and/or a predicted solution
date?

 

Is it possible to do this using standard group policy?

 

Many thanks

 

Andrew
