I'm trying to implement Group Policy for Windows Hello on a 2012 domain. Downloaded the ADMX files for Windows 10 1803 and them copied them to the central store, specifically here: C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\[DOMAIN]\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-us. There were already definitions in this folder from when the domain was originally deployed. I elected to replace the existing definitions and added the new ones as well. There were 185 before, and now there are 227.

After this, any time we try to browse and group policy object, we get a series of warnings. This is just a sampling:


The warnings don't seem to affect any processing of group policy, but I must have went wrong somewhere though I'm not sure where. As a precaution, I've rolled back that folder to the old definitions. Before I did, I tried to access GP from different machines (Win2012 and a Win10) and got what appeared to be the same warnings.

Adding to the mix, the Windows Hello objects don't seem to appear in the updated group policy (before I rolled it back). According to my research, they should have been here: Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Hello For Business/.

Apologies if I'm leaving anything out. Any help or a push in the right direction would be great. Thanks!

Hello all,  we have this application called Infor EAM.  Its an Inventory and Purchasing program.  The application has been running for well over a year on a windows 2012 VM without any issue.  The last couple weeks we have been getting the attached error when users log in.  This is random when it occurs.  I ask the one Power User of the system to put the browser in Developer mode to get me the errors.  We tried IE and Chrome.  We have opened a case with the Developers but so far they haven't come up with any solutions.  If anyone has seen this or knows any reason for it can you please let me know.

Thanks in advance, Mike

i have 50+  plus standalone servers running windows 2008 std edition, not in a domain , uses the same userid and password across the servers

Im looking for a script for C drive, if server C drive space is less than 10gb, it will give me the hostnames.

So that I can logon and clear some space, as 10gb is expected to have server free space in each of 50 Systems

Dear Experts,

We have some problems with RDS and default printer settings.
My first thought was the checkbox "Redirected Printers" in the RDP icon.
But even when i disabled this, users get a random printer assigned as their default.
Most of the time its a complete other printer. or the PDF writer.
I tried several group policy settings like.

Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session

Still it jumps everytime.
Problem is. users need to redirect printers and some users dont need redirected printers.
And they all want their own default printer obviously.

Any suggestions? where to start?

Hi guys,

Can I ask for some assistance here. I've attached a screenshot of what is going on. One of my team members was deploying updates to Windows servers. Not too long after that, I could see a 'Virtual Machine Message: There is no more space for virtual disk 'server.vmdk'.

We're running Vmware 5.5 Esxi and have 4 hosts in one cluster, along with two SAN's.

I have no idea what to do here. Can someone help?

Thank you

Hi,

I created multiple user accounts in AD using PowerShell and a CSV file. Now I need help modifying the same PowerShell script so I can change every user's password in the CSV file.
I attached the original script I used for the accounts creation.

Thanks!

I need to upgrade 2 Domain Controllers from Windows Server 2012 (not R2) to 2016. They are both in VM. I have a PDC and 1 that is replicating.
What is the best method to do the upgrade for both servers?
From what I am reading, the vmware version is a factor in getting the DC's upgraded to 2016.
Does this mean I need to upgrade to server 2012 R2 first, then upgrade the vmware version, then upgrade to 2016?

If keeping the same hardware and storage is my only option, what is the best path to get my DC's to 2016?

Hi
We have windows 2012 File server and we have a share called “StaffDocuments” and within this share we have home directories for all the 100 staff, User1, User2, User3……………….User100
On the AD- User1 properties-Profile
Home folder is set to Connect U to \\File server-a\ StaffDocuments\User1
Currently when User1 logs into the network PCs U drive gets mapped for this user, so when the user opens the windows explorer they can see the mapped U drive and they access their U drive and save their work to this drive.


Now I don’t want the U drive to be mapped, instead connect the user folder on the file server to be connected with the Documents – under the libraries in the Explorer.
Please advice, Is this possible to achieve this through GPO? Is this a good idea?

Thanks in advance

XPS Document writer was removed from the 'Devices and Printers'

While troubleshooting the Feature was also disabled using: Dism /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Printing-XPSServices-Features

I am now unable to 'Enable' the feature. "DISM failed. No operation was performed." (log is attached.)

Step 1. I'd like to get the Feature enabled.
Step 2. I'd like to get the XPS Document writer back to the 'Devices and Printers'

I have scoured about 20 blogs already; everything on this site, Quickbook links, scf scans, Sharing other XPS printers, deleting drivers, copying drivers, windows updates, add/remove Office365, DISM scans.

We used to use MPS all the time for Server diagnotics which I believe changed to Microsoft Diagnostic Tool. For Windows 2012 and 2016 running server core. What is the best tool to use to get detail diagntoics on a server that is a DC?

I have a group of admins who didn't need to be Domain Admins. I removed them from the group and delegated permissions as needed. They have Edits settings, delete, modify security permissions to GPOs and can backup a GPO via the GPMC, but they cannot restore the GPO. Does anyone know the rights I need to grant and to what container to allow them to restore GPOs? Thanks.
