Cannot map drives using Group Policy objects in Vista

Hi all

We strive map drives using Group Policy on our image of Vista. (In the past, we have used kixtart, but try to avoid writing scripts).

The installer under User Preferences/Configuration/Windows Settings/Player cards of the GPO. Because the GPO is attached to the ORGANIZATIONAL unit that contains the Vista PC, we both loop processing market.

Extensions side customer GP are installed on the workstation.

The results are inconsistent - at best, if we use 'Create', 'Update', or 'Replace' as the action of the drive mapping.

Sometimes, card readers, sometimes they are not. They just recently. Nothing is mentioned in one of the newspapers.

All the world did this with success?

  • Adobe PDF Reader Plugin DC cannot disable with the ID of Group Policy object class

    Adobe PDF Reader Plugin DC cannot disable with the ID of Group Policy object class

    Our school district recently upgraded to Acrobat Reader DC - in the past, we have disabled the plugin IE via GPO for Internet Explorer - manage ad - ons with the class ID of the ad-on/plugin

    The class ID is the same on computers {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}, and the object GPO is applied and turns off the plugin

    result with the new version - PDF opens in Internet explore - it is a problem for a lot of reason / especially we have many applications that require the full version and we have seen a lot of reports being pulled from IIS based sites that fail to print.

    It works if I disable the GPO and manually disable the plugin.

    That is the question

    Is there a way to disable the ad-on/plugin for IE centrally from an IT management perspective?

    While what you do must have worked, you can try these: create one of the following keys:

    1.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\15.0\Originals]

    "bBrowserIntegration" = DWORD: 00000000

    2.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\ {CA8A9780-280D-1 1See-A24D-444553540000}]

    (just to create the key is sufficient)

  • Windows 7 Edition home premium error "Windows cannot connect to the Group Policy client service."

    Hi all

    I would like to aid which has had to face the problem below and how it was fixed.

    I have Window 7 Edition home premium and created a guest account with normal privileges that is turned on but cannot access with the error "Windows could not connect to the Group Policy client service" I think that the main problem is related to a policy because when put on the account to administer it in pop, error message says 'Cannot connect to a windows service' Please check group policy log.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello

    Thank you for your time and effort to get back to us, and I apologize for the delay in responding.

    Method 1 step number d makes reference to the present Details tab on the event viewer, where you can get the details of the error. First, search for the error which will be something like Windows cannot process extension Client Strategy Group-side and click on the error and then click the Details tab and make a note of the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for the extension defective client-side. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Now come to step f number , it indicates the location of the Group Policy Extensions so that you can check if the extensions shown in the case log and the Registry Editor extension have a difference. The path of the GPExtension is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Let us know if the steps are clear to understand now. If this isn't the case, we will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

  • Application deployment using Group Policy preferences

    I managed to create an Adobe Reader 10 thinapp. I also created a group policy preference in assigning it to the same group of security assigned to the thinapp AD security group. I created a test user that is assigned to the same group of security, and when I connect as long as that user, the shortcut does not appear on the desktop as it is set up to do in the GPP. When I open Windows Explorer, I can browse to the network share, double-click the executable, and the thinapp works beautifully. I did have a success find out why the PPM is not send the shortcut to the desktop. Maybe this isn't the place to ask this question as the application itself works properly, but I was hoping that maybe someone else had this experience too. Thank you.

  • You can use local drive as the mapped drives raw groups

    We have a new host with vShere4U1 installed on a couple of mirrored disks.  The host will initially run a SQL server and the operating system will be SAN (fibre) as all of our other machines are virtual host.  We do not have enough space on the SAN or the budget to upgrade to allow us to run the newspapers/Db SQL, then the host was purchased with an extra 14 discs (much less expensive) who were divided into two disk RAID groups 1 + 0 (410Gb & Go 540)

    I can attach disks locak to the host, but it is shaped as a vmfs and the dbo wants to use these discs as raw as he wants to use the size of the set and is limited to 256GB VMDK in the vmfs.

    Is there a way to present records in vSphere while they give me the opportunity to fix to the virtual machine as raw disks similar to the san, or in any other way.

    I'm a pretty confident user of ESX without being an expert (admin typical average closed sys - too many hats) and basic linux would be appreciate some comments/help.

    See you soon

    If you remove the data store and then choose a block size, you can have a data store up to 2 TB in a single LUN. If you need you can extend the data to 62 to using extensions store.

    You really want to use raw disks. I don't know if it is possible anyway.
