    StorageSense GPO


    I'm looking at deploying Storagesense via a GPO to clear out old profile data, and temp files on potentially thousands of PCs. On the 2-3 machines I've applied it to so far it appears to have made no difference to overall disk use. These are machines with upto 150 user profiles - many of which haven't been touched for multiple years so should fall well into the cadence and file ages I've set for removal. The below is from a gpresult - so you can see that the policy should be applying. I have changed the cadence FROM "every day" to "During Low free disk space" to see if that made a difference,

    :)

    GPO for Quick Access

    Dear All,

    Is there anyway to set GPO to pin the following default folder to the quick access menu and prevent them from being deleted by the user ?

    • Desktop
    • Download
    • Documents
    • Videos
    • Music
    • Pictures
    Thanks

    StorageSense GPO

    Server 2003 GPO questions

    I solved my problem!
    My first issue was the installation files that weren't running. I fixed this by enabling windows installer through the "allow select windows applications to run" option in the GPO. My second issue was turning off the GPO on the fly. Unfortunately, there is no option within the GPO editor that allows for this. However, I did create a .bat file which I can run that will insert specific registry key values that will render the GPO ineffective. I also created a "re-enable GPO" .bat file that I run after I am through making the changes, this will bring the GPO back up.
    Thanks so much for your help Batou1986! *Toast :toast:
