policy edit from domain server GPMC or from other IIS /SQL ?.



we are facing to add file security c:\program files \MS SQL form domain GPMC 
.it not allowing to add due to path ( SQL SERVER ) not available in that server.



3.If i create system variable e:. %BACKUP% that gives the path to my one of

my backup directories.



If i add this directory %BACKUP% in files system security in group policy

Level, whether all server refer the same path what we given in system variable 
and

Apply their security setting give for the folder (%BACKUP%)

From: "Blackshaw, Dave" <Dave.Blackshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ranjan,


As LP says (without mentioning it), you need a domain account under which to 
run the SQL service.  You can then grant this “local administrator rights” 
using the batch file provided below.



However, the domain SQL service account will also require the following rights 
on each SQL server which can be achieved through GPO:



Act as part of the operating system (SeTcbPrivilege)

Adjust memory quotas for a process [Increase Quotas] (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)

Lock pages in memory (SeLockMemoryPrivilege)

Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)

Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)

Replace a process level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)



You’ll also need to enable the following services to run, if you’re 
restricting services:



MSSQLSERVER
MSSQLServerADHelper
SQLSERVERAGENT



For IIS, it’s a little more complicated due to the machine-specific 
“IUSR_xxxx” and “IWAM_xxxx” user accounts.  To get around this, each 
IIS server should have two local groups defined on it, e.g. “Local-IUSR” 
and “Local-IWAM”, which contain just these accounts, respectively.  You can 
then use these groups (without the machine-specific reference) in any GPO.  
Assigning rights and nesting groups using a “restricted group” policy 
allows free-form text entry.



Local-IWAM will require these rights:



Adjust memory quotas for a process [Increase Quotas] (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)

Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)

Replace a process level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)



Local-IUSR needs to be moved out of the local Guests group and will require:



Allow log on locally [Log on locally] (SeInteractiveLogonRight)

Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)



You’ll need to allow the local group IIS_WPG:



Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)



And ASPNET will need:



Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)

Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)



Hope that makes sense to all.

Well if it were me....

I'd retain the original Notepad.exe and call something else.

I'd dump all computer objects in the domain(s) using ldifde or csvde and
script the copy of the new executable to each workstation, logging the

That's a very good option, thanks, but how do I replicate it to 500+

Are you recommding that I change the original Notepad.exe & then copy it to
all 500+ workstations using a batch/vbscript file in Computer Startup Event?

Are you, by any chance, accessing the server remotely?  Is there  policy
in place that denies remote admin rights?  Try blocking inheritance on the

Ah, I see, so they can save to network share?  How about folder redirect
and disable "save as" in Word (using ADMs), and don't allow any other
programs to run?
As far as the paper theft is concerned, you have to have trust in your
employees, you can't erase their minds when they walk out the door ;)

It generally depends upon the setting but in most cases where Admin.
Templates are concerned, the machine policy wins.

Hello everyone, and thank you all for the help. So far I've been unable to find 
the solution for this issue.
the server is a Win2k3 server that was put in a OU that had my  XP Workstation 
policy link to it, that policy was applied to the server.

Then it was noted that the server was in the wrong OU and it was moved and it 
now is receiving the Win2k3 Server Policy.

I've logged onto the server with both the local admin account (LLLLL.AAAAA) and 
my domain account
(DDDDDD.AAAAAA) and it doesn't seam to matter.

There are settings and acl's that were applied from the XP Policy that are not 
correct for a Win2k3 server, and since the server policy doesn't replace them I 
believe this maybe causing strange problems.

When I run Process Monitor and try to run MBSA or Fport I'm not seening any 
access denied messages. The only thing to note is the following registry key.

When I run fport, proc mon logs the following
hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\imagefile execurion 
options\fport.exe name not found

When i run MBSA, proc mon logs the following
HKLM\SAM\SAM\Domains\account\Users\Names\LLLLLL.AAAAA (<--- the account of the 
renamed local admin that is applied from my XP Workstation policy) name not 
found

Could it be the user profile still being named LLLLLLL.AAAAAA that is causing 
the problem.

I'm getting ready to turn on more logging on the server and see what that find.

Take Care --John

Sounds like two different issues. You will get the &quot;Ok to reboot&quot;=
 message<br />
any time that certain client side extensions (e.g. Software Installation or=
<br />
Folder Redirection) need to run a foreground processing mode in order to<br=
 />
apply. <br />
<br />
On the 2nd issue, I'm not familiar with fport, so not sure I can answer tha=
t<br />
but I it is very possible that if your server was getting security policy<b=
r />
from a different OU, that moving it to the new OU would not automatically<b=
r />
undo that policy. Normally, security policy &quot;tattoos&quot; a machine u=
nless you<br />
explicitly countermand it with a new policy.<br />

Hi Martin,
I would argue that from a group policy prospective neither wins.

If you have a machine policy, it will create registry keys in the Machine
area. If you have a User policy, it will create registry keys in the User
area. As such they are never at odds and both win.

It is then up to the application to decide which of the registry keys to
use, which really means the application designer decides which is more
likely to be correct.

Alan-
While this is strictly true, in practice if you look at most Admin Template
policy items that have representation under both computer and user, 9 times
out of ten ,the Explain text will mention that if both are set, the computer
configuration overrides the user configuration.

Hi all,
We have this script running in our Windows 2003 domain.

@echo off

:: *********DISABLE USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE********

regedit /s "\\Tai3dserver\SYSVOL\tai3d.com\scripts\disable.reg"

"\\Tai3dserver\SYSVOL\tai3d.com\scripts**\subinacl.exe" /keyreg
\system\currentcontrolset\services\usbstor /deny=system

the subinacl.exe deployment was advised by Mr. Ray Lewis, basically what the
script does is, it modifies a registry value such that usb removable storage
devices are not read by the system, but new usb storage devices are getting
accessed, how do i block the modification of this registry value? Kindly
suggest methods, I'm a novice in this...

best regards
Ananth.
