[gptalk] Re: Missing GPO Settings Administrative Templates

in addition to filtering the view, do you by chance have the "only show
only configured policy settings" setting selected?

        At this point, I think I've run out of ideas. If the ADM files
in sysvol are the same, if they are same on the local drive, and the GP
Editor is not filtering the view, then there is no reason you should be
missing settings.

        Hi Darren, 
        
        The attachements see the c:\windows\inf PDC and BDC directory's 
        
        The files are the same but  On BDC mmc I see correct Policy ADM
, but on PDC  mmc I see bad Policy ADM.

        Enrico- 
        If you're editing those GPOs from a 2003 machine, then what may
be happening is that you have the policy set to only use local ADMs when
editing GPOs. That's why I asked you to look at the ADMs in
c:\windows\inf on the 2003 machine where you're editing policy. Verify
that they are intact and if not, that might be your problem.

        "That seems strange that the PDC's file are wrong." 
        
        The size and date of all PDC's file are are correct (same size
and date of second DC's file) 
        
        "So, you double-checked the size of the files on both the PDC
and the second DC?" Yes 
        
        
        " Where are you editing these GPOs from? " From second DC with
2003 standard edition sp1 Italian 
        
        
        "Are you editing them from an XP workstation? " No 
        
        "If so, then just for the sake of being thorough, take a look at
the ADM files in c:\windows\inf on that machine and see if they are
truncated. " I'm not understand.

Where are you editing these GPOs from? Are you editing them from an XP
workstation? If so, then just for the sake of being thorough, take a
look at the ADM files in c:\windows\inf on that machine and see if they
are truncated.

        Thank Darren 
        I  check and the ADM files stored in SYSVOL are really of the
correct size. 
        
        In my domain I have 2 DC the master have the problem above, but
in the slave (BDC) I see that the Default Domain Policy (open in remote
on master DC)  settings are correct:  I see all Administrative
templates. 
        
        Have you other suggestions? 
        thx

        Enrico- 
        Double check that the ADM files stored in SYSVOL are really of
the correct size. For example, on the PDC emulator, go into
SYSVOL\Policies\<GUID of GPO>\ADM and look the ADM files there. Compare
their size to a known good copy of the ADMs to ensure they have not been
truncated or otherwise edited. One good test might be to create a new
GPO from your usual GP Editing workstation and see if all of the correct
ADM settings are present.

        Is it possible that the GP Editor is set to only show configured
policies? Under the GP Editor menu, check that  View, Filtering, "Only
show configured policy settings" is not checked.

        Hi, 
        I have a regular installation of Windows 2003 standard edition
server SP1 
        (Italian version) with services: 
        -AD 
        -WINS 
        -DNS 
        
        I have a problem regarding Default Domain GPO. 
        
        Recently i wanted to review my GPO Settings, but now i see
something strange. 
        
        When i open "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates" 
        
        I only see the folowing: 
        Windows Components 
        
        and I don't see: 
        -Start Menu and Task Bar 
        -Desktop 
        -Control Panel 
        -Shared Folders 
        -Network 
        -System 
        
        
        I proof to add Templates and the windows show that are
installed: 
        
        
        Conf          (25/03/2003) 
        Inetres (25/03/2005) 
        System        (25/03/2005) 
        Wmplayer(25/03/2005) 
        Wuau        (25/03/2005) 
        
        I need to modify Desktop Policy but I can't 
        
        Does anyone know how to get them back? 
        Thx. 
        
        Enrico
