  2. GPO Override Policy Not Working

    Following up with class in which we are making an Google Chrome Settings Override GPO for a local group -- added it at the group level; not the higher domain level. This should override the domain's (high-level) GPO that prevents downloads, prevents incognito
    mode, and restrict access to netflix.com. This is according to Windows' Group Policy API documentation (Overriding and Blocking Group Policy).

    When looking at the group's "Group Policy Inheritance" tab in the Group Policy Management tool from the Server Manager (Wins 2012), I am seeing that the override GPO takes precedence over the previously applied restrictive settings from the higher domain
    policy. This is what we want.

    However, when logged into a domain client -- with the credentials of the intended local group member -- the local group policy is not listed in Chrome://policy. The browser is still blocking netflix.com, downloads, and the use of incognito mode.

    I restarted the client computer many times and ran the gpupdate /force script and successfully updated the policy several times. I also went as far as to enforced the GPO in the inheritance table for the local group taken precedence over all other GPOs.

    Nothing is happening. HELP!

    Deploying Powershell Script via GPO on Win Server 2008 R2

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm trying to deploy a PS script via GPO.

    I've tried to deploy it as a logon script and separately as a startup script.

    It does not seem to execute the script.

    When I try to run the script on my own machine I receive the following message:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by

    a policy defined at a more specific scope. Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective

    execution policy of RemoteSigned. Type "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List" to view your execution policy settings. For more

    information please see "Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy".

    At line:1 char:46

    + ... -ne 'AllSigned') { Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass }; & '\ ...

    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: I am unable to deploy a policy via GPO for forcing a lockscreen :)) [Set-ExecutionPolicy], SecurityException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExecutionPolicyOverride,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetExecutionPolicyCommand

    When I elevate the permissions to admin, it works and I can run the script manually on the machine.

    Is there any way in which I can deploy this so that it runs with elevated admin permissions?

    Or is there something I need to change or add in order for this to run?

    Thanks
