GPP is server only and requires client side software correct? Anyway to do achieve the same results managed IE Zones without disabling user access in a AD environment?
Hi, Quick question. If I try and add additional sites with the same zone number it states that this is not allowed. Can the links be broken up with ; , or something similar? Each url will appear listed in that zone then. I have a question, when you apply this group policy, users cannot add trusted website anymore by themselves. Did you know how to manage that? It covers two methods.
The first method will remove the option for the end user to edit or change the security zones, the second will allow the user to add or remove sites. I found this extremely helpful and thank you for posting this. I added about 10 sites to the list using the method above but they are not showing up.
I checked to make sure the policy was being applied correctly and it is being applied; it is making it impossible to add to my trusted sites, but the list is empty. With IE 9, the GPO would do the opposite, it would add the sites but the end-user could still add more. If several Group Policy Objects are linked to an organizational unit, their processing is synchronous and in an order that you specify.
This order means that the local Group Policy Object is processed first, and Group Policy Objects that are linked to the organizational unit of which the computer or user is a direct member are processed last, which overwrites the earlier Group Policy Objects. This is the default processing order and administrators can specify exceptions to this order. A Group Policy Object that is linked to a site, domain, or organizational unit not a local Group Policy Object can be set to Enforced with respect to that site, domain, or organizational unit, so that none of its policy settings can be overridden.
At any site, domain, or organizational unit, you can mark Group Policy inheritance selectively as Block Inheritance. Group Policy Object links that are set to Enforced are always applied, however, and they cannot be blocked. In the context of Group Policy processing, security settings policy is processed in the following order.
During Group Policy processing, the Group Policy engine determines which security settings policies to apply. The Security Settings extension downloads the policy from the appropriate location such as a specific domain controller. The Security Settings extension merges all security settings policies according to precedence rules.
The processing is according to the Group Policy processing order of local, site, domain, and organizational unit OU , as described earlier in the "Group Policy processing order" section. If multiple GPOs are in effect for a given device and there are no conflicting policies, then the policies are cumulative and are merged. This example uses the Active Directory structure shown in the following figure.
The resultant security policies are stored in secedit. The security engine gets the security template files and imports them to secedit.
The security settings policies are applied to devices. The following figure illustrates the security settings policy processing. Password policies, Kerberos, and some security options are only merged from GPOs that are linked at the root level on the domain.
This is done to keep those settings synchronized across all domain controllers in the domain. The following security options are merged:. Another mechanism exists that allows security policy changes made by administrators by using net accounts to be merged into the Default Domain Policy GPO. If an application is installed on a primary domain controller PDC with operations master role also known as flexible single master operations or FSMO and the application makes changes to user rights or password policy, these changes must be communicated to ensure that synchronization across domain controllers occurs.
After you have edited the security settings policies, the settings are refreshed on the computers in the organizational unit linked to your Group Policy Object in the following instances:.
Security settings can persist even if a setting is no longer defined in the policy that originally applied it.
All settings applied through local policy or through a Group Policy Object are stored in a local database on your computer. Whenever a security setting is modified, the computer saves the security setting value to the local database, which retains a history of all the settings that have been applied to the computer.
If a policy first defines a security setting and then no longer defines that setting, then the setting takes on the previous value in the database. If a previous value does not exist in the database then the setting does not revert to anything and remains defined as is. This behavior is sometimes referred to as "tattooing".
Registry and file security settings will maintain the values applied through Group Policy until that setting is set to other values. Both Apply Group Policy and Read permissions are required to have the settings from a Group Policy Object apply to users or groups, and computers.
The Authenticated Users group includes both users and computers. Security settings policies are computer-based. To specify which client computers will or will not have a Group Policy Object applied to them, you can deny them either the Apply Group Policy or Read permission on that Group Policy Object. Changing these permissions allows you to limit the scope of the GPO to a specific set of computers within a site, domain, or OU.
Do not use security policy filtering on a domain controller as this would prevent security policy from applying to it. In some situations, you might want to migrate GPOs from one domain environment to another environment. The two most common scenarios are test-to-production migration, and production-to-production migration. The GPO copying process has implications for some types of security settings. Certain policy data might be valid in one domain but might be invalid in the domain to which the GPO is being copied.
So copying GPOs is not as simple as taking a folder and copying it from one device to another. The following security policies can contain security principals and might require some additional work to successfully move them from one domain to another. GPMC also offers migration tables, which can be used to update domain-specific data to new values as part of the migration process. GPMC hides much of the complexity involved in the migrating GPO operations, and it provides simple and reliable mechanisms for performing operations such as copy and backup of GPOs.

Hi, i made some progress, the script can be used from Computer Client like Win10, and he dont need to import Active Directory modules, also dont need to enter config. Brandon Lee wrote a new post, Redirect user profile folders documents, pictures, etc.
For a long time, roaming profiles and folder redirection were the standard means under Windows for making user files available on different devices. Now that more and more users work on the road or at home rather than in the office, this technique is becoming increasingly obsolete. An alternative to such environments is to redirect profile folders to OneDrive. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 20 hours, 57 minutes ago.
