Ah, ok i see.
I dont understand how policy is being read.
But as far as making changes to the policy; and for it to retain those changes for user, is not.
aswell as the Account policy tab is missing from the security settings .
hmm what do you think about DFS and WINS services stopped, I just came across that. Id assume distributed file system would have a hand in dealing with the sysvol folder? im not sure about WINS service.

Any update for us?
- Jan 12, 2023I'm from a Dutch company, but you can also report a ticket at a Microsoft partner if you have one nearby?
- KACC5Jan 12, 2023Copper ContributorNot a problem, would you happen to have a local support agent. Or someone affiliated that we can have come in office an take a look in person.
- Jan 12, 2023I'm out of ideas here myself too at the moment...
- KACC5Jan 12, 2023Copper Contributornegative, didnt work
- Jan 11, 2023Creating a new GPO at Domain root level, does that give you the password policies folder in that?
- KACC5Jan 11, 2023Copper Contributorok yea we have,that service disabled. What would you suggest regarding something like this. I was hoping it would be something fairly simple, like an oversight that I wasnt aware of, but it seems we've tried most most solution.
- Jan 11, 2023It depends... On older versions of Windows Server, it's File Replication Service as default (Switch to DFS how-to here https://www.mcs.support/guide-to-migrate-frs-to-dfsr-using-dfsrmig/ ) WINS is not needed anymore unless you have a very specific reason 🙂
