Targeting time - editing the registry - group policy preferences

I have a client who wants to change the timeouts etc on a screen saver based on the time of day.
Users often leave a machine (with Bloomberg information) on and operate using another machine while keeping an eye on the BBerg one.
The plan is to have these Bloomberg machines have a screen long timeout during the day of work and failing, after that, so that users do not have to continually enter a password.

Looking from the PPM, it must be done via editing the registry.
I created the policy (sector, screen saver and screen saver on are all together (3 reg updates), then 2 times targeted reg additional updates to update for the screen saver timeout), but the policy applies to logon or a forced gpupdate.  It is not updated when the time change occurs.
If I run a "gpupdate/force" policy changes based on the time.  I tried a scheduled task to "gpupdate / force" and which does not apply the change.

Register GPP is not to work for the planning of time, or I'm doing something wrong?

  • Deployment of HP printers via Group Policy preferences

    At work, I run an environment with about 120 computers Windows 7, 2 HP LaserJet printers and a Windows 2008 Server.  By using Group Policy preferences to deploy computers printers I'm having problems with excruciatingly long first connections.  The computer will sit for minutes at the stadium where he applies the policy of the political group printers.

    I tried the drivers specific to the model provided by HP for my printers (LaserJet 2430 and LaserJet P3005) and the universal print driver.  Installation of printer drivers adds about 2 minutes on each printer.  This excruciatingly slow kind of performance is not acceptable.  I've seen other posts of people with similar problems but no real solutions.  What is the answer of HP?

    I've always loved and bought HP printers for work and home, but this problem makes me rethink for the future.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I just posted this question in the works councils at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Software/Deploying-HP-Printers-via-Group-Policy-Preferences-is-very-slow/td-p/6248163#.UmptXPnjZ8E.

  • Where is the local Group Policy Editor?

    I had to try a fix for the network icon disappearing in the notification area (shaded in the properties of the taskbar), and he said to go to the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). I don't seem to have it at all, even by navigating to the directory where it should be located. I gpedit.dll, if.

    Any ideas? Is this a problem?

  • 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.

    So, I got a brand new 1 TB SSD... Just got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed and approximately 20 or so of my favorite programs.

    Everything is running fine...  On my old hard drive, I didn't have to type a password when my system started... Hmm...

    I think I'll search the Internet and see how to change this... I made three changes... I added "DefaultUserName" "DefaultPassword", I added, and I changed AutoLogon to 1... Now... when I ReBoot... the screen comes up and says... New user... and the two fields are empty... I tried to type my username and password... Windows does not like that... I tried to hit just Enter... Windows doesn't like either. I tried to start safe mode... I had the same Logon screen for new user...... .i put my purchased copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit in my DVD player... one that I installed from... advertising and punt him... When I clicked on "Computer repair" I got an error saying that the CD was the "wrong Version" and that it was NOT compatible with the version that is installed... What the devil. ??? I just installed Windows two weeks ago on this disc very... Microsoft has kicked out several updates that now my installation is no longer compatible with my installation disc?

    What should I do to overcome the problem of password? Is there a way to boot from a floppy disk BACK and change the registry from a command prompt... I won't have any problems remembering what three changes I made... I just need to go and undo the... Help, please!

    Thank you, David, ThunderBoyDavid

    Oh... If the e-mail address is visible... I use my wife's PC... Thank God we have separate PCs. She runs 10 64-bit Windows.

    REALLY... Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. !!! OH... and no.. I never did a password reset disk... I'm sorry.

    I made three changes... I added "DefaultUserName" "DefaultPassword", I added, and I changed AutoLogon to 1

    -> Where exactly did you make these changes? Hack you the registry?

    Is there a way to boot from a floppy disk BACK and edit the registry from a command prompt?

    ->, It is possible to change the registry from a command prompt, but it is neither simple nor recommended. BTW - the last we saw of DOS Windows accompanied me, 16 years ago. There is no BACK in Windows 7.

    You must press F8 to boot the machine into Windows Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to restore Windows to a point before you did what you did.

    When you are finished, use the following command to automate the logon process. It is the only approved way.

  • Missing windows components in the administrator group policy templates. XP Pro SP3

    Miss me some of the windows components in the computer configuration > Group Policy administrative templates. How can I get back them? XP Pro SP3

    If you click on administrative templates, add or remove templates do you have right to have these models:

    CONF
    Inetres
    System
    Wmplayer
    sooper

    If this isn't the case, you must add them as described above.

    For example, if inetres does not appear in the models (so, you must add), you won't see any substance IE under Windows Components.

    Take a look at templates that are installed on the system that works and compare them to the distressed system.

  • How to include the install date and time in the registry keys

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me. I'm creating a Setup program that includes properties in the construction specifications. I also wannt to include certain registry keys to add during installation:

    1. I understand the application installation directory by providing the key to [INSTALLDIR] value. This seems to work fine and I have no problem with that.

    2. the other key I would include (but I don't know how) indicates the date and the time of installation. Is it possible to automatically include this in a (similar to INSTALLDIR) registry key?

    I look forward to your expert advice!

    Kind regards

    Larry

    Larry,

    You can configure an exe must be run after Setup is finished. So, you can write a small application using the registry functions of Windows that retrieves the current timestamp and store it in some key.

  • Edit the registry

    My registry has 517 problems, which, if not corrected, may increase in the future. I want to "repair of invalid Application Folders. My system shows the exact location of the invalid files. Please advice how can I proceed. I use Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

    Uninstall the registry cleaner. Remove the so-called '517 problems' you will give significant benefits and may create new problems which cannot be solved otherwise than by a new installation of the operating system and all the implications.

    The best way to solve problems is to use the tools provided with Windows and won with the information they provide for advice here on what they reveal. Event Viewer and Device Manager are good places to begin inquiries. This method of solving problems can be consumimg of time, but that your computer skills are developed, you will find the life becomes easier. It can also be fun challenges that understanding of the works of your computer.

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.
