I need to block Copilot using Group Policy. Currently, my primary domain controller is Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. Since the default option is not available in 2012 Datacenter, how should I proceed?

Unable to Block apps in windows 8.1 using GPO from Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller

Hi,

We are using Windows server 2012 R2 as domain controller. we have user specific GPO to restrict access to identified users.

we created a GPO for blocking apps in our windows 8.1 workstations. we used user configuration-> Administrative Templates -> Start menu and Taskbar-> Remove all programs list from Start Menu Set to 'enabled'. Here we didn't have any options to select actions.

Request your support to block apps using domain GPO.

Thanks and Regards,

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!

 

Make Second Domain Controller Primary

I have 2 domain controllers, Primary is Windows Server 2012 and the secondary Domain Controller is Windows Server 2022. Primary successfully replicates to Secondary without issues and visa versa if I make changes in Secondary. I want to decommission the Primary DC, I followed the steps to transfer all 5 FSMO roles to secondary and now secondary is supposed to be Primary.

All servers see the secondary DC and it is listed as a DNS in ipconfig/all. When I shutdown the old 2012 DC, I Could not access any of the servers with domain name only IP. I tried flushing DNS but that did not help. I turned old server back on and was able to access my servers again but some servers had issues with RDP but are okay now.

Did I miss a step to make the 2022 server a Primary DC so old one can be decommissioned? do I have to make any changes on DNS Management?
