[gptalk] Re: Problems propagating GPO settings

Thanks Darren, 
 
OK,  that clears things up.   Why would these be separate??  It would make 
sense to me if the security policies are shown here that the other policies 
would also show up.  
 
Where are they stored locally?  
 
What I was trying to do is this:
 
I have a corrupt computer administration template on my default domain policy 
in GPMC. So I thought I would get a good registry.pol  from one of the 
workstations and replace the corrupt one in the sysvol folder on the AD  DC . 
 
But I gues that is not going to work.  
 
I am hoping this will solve the problem I am having with  the default domain 
policy, that is I have always been able to edit it, now it says that I may not 
have the right privileges to edit it even though I have the right privileges 
and am able to edit every other policy.  
 
 
I have tried to run gpmc results wizard against  a computer and user, but can 
only get results for users, at the computer level I get the message that the 
wmi service may not be running on the target computer, but when I check the 
computer, this service is running.   Any ideas what I can do to get the GP 
results wizard to work for computers?
 
Thanks,
 
Piet

If you are looking at the local GPO, you are not going to see any policy 
settings except security policy. That is because the Local GPO is its own 
GPO-it does not represent the resulting policy from domain GPOs. If you want to 
get a true picture of what domain GPOs are being received, run the GP Results 
Wizard from GPMC against that computer and user.

 

Also, the fact that a deployed software package is only showing up in 
Add/Remove Programs sounds to me like you Published the package rather than 
assigning. By default, Published packages do not get installed automatically 
but instead appear in ARP and require the user to install them.

Subject: [gptalk] Problems propagating GPO settings

 

Hello everyone, 

 

I am having some trouble with GPO being pushed out to my machines. 

 

I am only seeing security settings being propagated to the local GPO on my 
machines.  

 

When I run mmc with the local computer policy object snap-in,  I can see that 
the security settings are being propagated, but I cannot see anything in the 
software folders even though I am pushing out software at the user as well as 
the computer level. The software is showing up in the add/remove programs 
applet  under "add new programs"??

 

Also I do not see any settings being propagated in the admin templates areas.  

 

Can anyone help with this?

 

Piet
