Windows Server 2012 R2 GPM>windows setting> security setting >Account Policy missing
Hello, Ive been trying to figure out this issue with my GPO's, What I initially wanted to do was create a simple password policy. I go to the GPMC and edit the Default domain policy and open Comput...
Any how many Domain Controllers do you have? Does it show if you connect your Group Policy management console to another DC?
Could you try running regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wsecedit.dll (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/group-policy-areas-missing)? Perhaps a reboot afterward is required.
Ran the Regsvr and got this error Harm_Veenstra
- Still an issue,
I have since put it to the back of my plans. But still something i need to get figured out Any update for us?
- I'm from a Dutch company, but you can also report a ticket at a Microsoft partner if you have one nearby?
- Not 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.
- I'm out of ideas here myself too at the moment...
- negative, didnt work
- Creating a new GPO at Domain root level, does that give you the password policies folder in that?
- ok 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.
- It 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 🙂
- 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.
