The GUID of a GPO is available in a variety of ways-most quickly via GPMC by
focusing on the GPO in question and selecting the "Details" tab, which lists
its ID, or GUID.

Ahh...I was in the wrong menu. Mondays....

 

Saw that response as well, the only catch is that it specifically asks for
the GUID of the offending policy, which I do not know.


Now that I am in the right menu and enabled it, I will still post the log.

 

Give me about 10 minutes.

 

Much appreciated.

Also, I found this response on the GP newsgroups that is related to IE

Looks like it was in response to your question up there.

Ok...what am I missing here?

i downloaded your gpolog, put the files in the correct location, but can't
seem them in the GPO editor?


I feel like I am missing a step on how to add these properly.

 

Any tips? :)


Thanks,


Jason

You can enable GPMC logging to get a log of any errors that GPMC throws.
Check out my ADM file -gpolog.adm ( <http://www.gpoguy.com/gpolog.htm>
http://www.gpoguy.com/gpolog.htm) and apply that to the local GPO on the
workstation where you're running this from.  Then, post the log file here.

Still no luck. 
Still getting the same error in the 'summary' and 'settings' window.


I also see zero errors in the policy events as well.


Argh!

Long story short, we have a mix of IE 6 and IE 7 (something I am trying to
get a hold of).

 

I should have mentioned that this was from a Vista machine.

However, I did test it out on a Windows Server 2003 machine to see if I
would receive the same results, which I did.

As far as policies for IE 7, we just have a few some basic IE settings; home
page, trusted sites, but that seems to be the extent.


Im new at this job, so I am still getting my head wrapped around everything.

The one other thing I have noticed is that, they do have a IE 7 "Block"
policy at the root, which does not allow delivery of IE 7.

 

I ran GPOTOOL and everything came back with no errors, so I am a little
stumped.

 

Any other information I can provide? Tests? Logs? Just let me know.


Thanks,

 

Jason

Did you recently add IE 7 to your environment or start implementing IE
Maintenance policy on IE 7 systems?

Hello everyone.


I have a odd thing going on this morning and I have been unsuccessful trying
to find the answer.

 

Not sure exactly what is going on, but I am trying to run some RSOP from my
desktop and I am getting some errors. I can browse, edit and view settings
for all my GPO's, but when I run a RSOP (tried my computer and my account),
I get this error below: 

An error occured while generating report: 
An unknown error occured while the HTML report was being generated.


I have had no luck googling for this and am a little concerned.

Anyone ever seen this before? 


Thanks,


Jason
