Group Policy
147 TopicsGroupPolicy/Registry issue
My MDR product is having an issue with scanning the registry of our hosts. It times out and causes performance issues, essentially bringing down the host. I opened a case with their support and we narrowed the issue down to this reg key: Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects There are hundreds of sub keys, each with their own sub keys. It seems each time group policy is applied to the host, 2 new keys are created, a machine and a user key. As a test, I deleted everything under the main key and rebooted. After logging back in, 2 new keys had been created. After a day I checked again and there were a dozen or more. Now after a few weeks we're back up to hundreds. Does anyone have any ideas as how to automatically clean up the older entries to keep the number to a minimum? Or is there a way to stop this behavior?

Setup AVD with FSLogix several months back and profiles had been loading fine. About a month ago, profiles stopped loading and the logs show "Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced." This is in regards to connecting to the profile share path. If I manually try to go to that path, I receive the same error. The accounts do have a password, so it shouldn't be anything to do with a blank password. There are no sign-in time restrictions enforced on these accounts. What's left is a "policy restriction", which is kind of vague. Things I've tried: update to latest FSLogix verify permissions on profile storage enabled these in local policy: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options ‘Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only‘ = disabled Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation ‘Restrict delegation of credentials to remote servers‘ = disabled I have a ticket open with MS support for 3 weeks now, but thus far they've been completely useless.835Views0likes16Comments
