Windows 10: Active Directory Group Policy Objects GPO

Hi All,I am reaching out to seek assistance with enabling and configuring 802.1x on client machines within our network.Due to the unique nature of the grouping, we have encountered challenges in utilizing Active Directory Group Policy Objects GPO for this purpose. As a result, we are exploring alternative methods, such as utilizing a script, to push the necessary configuration settings onto each computer.Could you kindly provide guidance or suggest a suitable script that would allow us to automate this process? We aim to avoid the manual configuration of each machine, as it can be time-consu

Windows Active Directory Group Policy Object GPO - are the permission conformance corrections made by running of gpupdate logged as changes by Audit

Windows Active Directory Group Policy Object GPO - are the permission conformance corrections made by running of gpupdate logged as changes by Audit

Problem: We have a customer who makes permission changes to certain files so that our software may work correctly. Then, "magically", the permissions revert to prior settings after a few hours. I strongly suspect this is due to a group policy setting. If
they have auditing running, I am supposing the original change will be noted. But when gpupdate runs, and "fixes" them back to conformance, is this also noted in the auditing / security log?

Good day from Singapore,

Reference guide 7: Group Policy Software installation fails - Error 1612

Link: Group Policy Software installation fails - Error 1612



I have created a Group Policy Object GPO to install Cisco Duo Security Group Policy MSI Installer in Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, which is a domain member server, but it failed.



Here are the error messages from Event Viewer in Windows Server:



Windows failed to apply the Software Installation settings. Software installation settings might have its own log file. Please click on the "More information" link.



The install of application Duo Authentication for Windows Logon x64 from policy Deploy Duo Client to Windows server failed. The error was : %%1612



Is it possible that Cisco Duo Security Group Policy MSI installer is incompatible with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter?



Is it possible that Cisco Duo Security Group Policy MSI installer can only be installed on domain member workstations like Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11?



The following guide keeps mentioning domain member workstations for a total of 4 times.



Reference guide: Duo Authentication for Windows Logon (RDP) - Active Directory Group Policy

I have a 2nd question. If it is not due to incompatibility issue, could the installation error be due to file and folder names on the centralized software deployment share?



Deployment source: \\fileserver1\d\Duo4.2.0\DuoWindowsLogon64.msi



Transforms: \\fileserver1\d\Duo4.2.0\duo420-64.mst



I am wondering if the file and folder names listed above could present a problem.



I am looking forward to your replies.



Thank you very much.

Group Policy Object Missing

Hi All -

I run GPResult /R and see 9 GPO's applied. I then jump over to the server and only see 8 GPO's under "Group Policy Objects". Of course, the one GPO that I need to work on is missing. I searched and found a few potential solutions but they didn't fix my
issue. I restarted the server and registered all DLLs. Still learning Group Policy and would appreciate any help.

Thanks
