Windows 10: exclude domain server computer from applying a group policy

Hi,i have disabled usb storage by group policy but all system in LAN disabled now i want to exclude domain server or any particular computer.Please help me.Thanks

:)

 

Windows 2016 Domain - Group Policies not applying to OU

So we have a domain and have various group policies (some apply to computer settings, some apply to user settings)

If we link a computer group policy directly to the root of the domain, policy works fine and everything is great.

If we take the same policy, remove it from the domain root, move the computer account to a sub OU and then link the group policy to that OU, the policy no long works.

There is no security filtering enabled, using "Authenticated Users" as scope.

If we run the Group Policy Results wizard, it only shows policies that are being applied in the root domain. No group policies located in OU show up.

No errors are showing besides a message saying "fast link detected"

If we run the Group Policy Modeling and specify user and computer, it shows the group policy should be applied.

Have tried adding "Domain Computers" also as a scope, same results.

Don't have any "Loopback Processing" enabled on any of the parent group policies.

I'm stuck!

 

Server 2019 Standard - Domain Password Policy Settings Not applying

I originally made modifications in Group Policy Management Editor and tried rebooting the PDC and doing a Gpupdate /force. Nothing works. This is a single domain controller environment.

Additional steps I took:

I have gone into Group Policy Management Editor>Domains>(domain Name)>Default Domain Policy (right Click - Edit) Computer Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Account Policies>Password Policy and have modified the following fields:

Maximum password age: 90 Days

Minimum password age: 1 Days

Minimum password length: 12 Characters

Password must meet complexity requirements : enabled

Although these settings stay within the Group Policy Editor they do not seem to apply.

Then, in Powershell (as administrator) I ran:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ADDefaultDomainPasswordPolicy (Results listed below)



ComplexityEnabled : False

DistinguishedName : DC=accounting,DC=local

LockoutDuration : 00:10:00

LockoutObservationWindow : 00:10:00

LockoutThreshold : 50

MaxPasswordAge : 365.00:00:00

MinPasswordAge : 00:00:00

MinPasswordLength : 7

objectClass : {domainDNS}

objectGuid : 664309cc-463b-4a6d-8b82-ed807418ba5d

PasswordHistoryCount : 24

ReversibleEncryptionEnabled : False

To test, I set Complexity Enabled via powershell (as administrator)

PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-ADDefaultDomainPasswordPolicy -Identity accounting.local -ComplexityEnabled $true

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ADDefaultDomainPasswordPolicy (results listed below)



ComplexityEnabled : True

DistinguishedName : DC=accounting,DC=local

LockoutDuration : 00:10:00

LockoutObservationWindow : 00:10:00

LockoutThreshold : 50

MaxPasswordAge : 365.00:00:00

MinPasswordAge : 00:00:00

MinPasswordLength : 7

objectClass : {domainDNS}

objectGuid : 664309cc-463b-4a6d-8b82-ed807418ba5d

PasswordHistoryCount : 24

ReversibleEncryptionEnabled : False

If I wait a few minutes and run the Get-ADDefaultDomainPasswordPolicy again the ComplexityEnabled changes back to False.

Next I went to RSOP.MSC and checked Computer Configuration>Windows settings>Account Policies>Password Policy and this is the results:

Policy Computer Setting Source GPO

Enforce password history 24 passwords remembered Small Business Server Domain Password Policy

Maximum password age 365 days Small Business Server Domain Password Policy

Minimum password age 0 days Small Business Server Domain Password Policy

Minimum password length 7 characters Small Business Server Domain Password Policy

Minimum password length audit Not Defined

Password must meet complexity requirements Disabled Small Business Server Domain Password Policy

Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled Small Business Server Domain Password Policy

As you can see I get even different results through RSOP.

The account I am using is in the Domain Admins and Local\Buitin Administrators groups.

I just discovered that if I close Group Policy Management Editor and reopen it the changes did NOT stay, and the settings match RSOP.

Any help with solving this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Group Policy not synchronizing across member domain controllers and not applying to client computers as well

We have three domain controllers, the primary and two secondary domain controllers, Once we create group policies on the primary domain controller show to only to group policy console on the other domain controllers but they cannot be shown on sysvol folders, client computers as well cannot get group policy settings from the domain all the domain controllers are Windows Server 2019.

Error message below:

Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered:



The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\(domain name)\SysVol\(domain name)\Policies\{1C2E6929-A734-45C9-92A9-166D25A74015}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:

a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.

b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).

c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.

User Policy update has completed successfully.



To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.
