Group Policy
25 TopicsSingle GPO vs. Multiple GPOs
I am pretty new to setting up Group Policies. Is it better practice to have mulitple GPOs rather than one GPO. For example, should I have seperate GPOs for mapped drives, windows updates, mapped printers, etc. or is it okay to make one "big" GPO with all these paramaters? Thank you very much!6.2KViews1like1CommentAdditional Group Policy Objects in AD than expected
There is 1 additional Policy Object in the Active Directory (DOMAIN\System\Policies) that does not have a matching Group Policy Object nor in \\Domain\Sysvol\Domain\Policies What is the appropriate method to remove the object from the AD? I suspect this object may be an issue creating minor problems on my domain.Solved442Views1like1Comment
New GPOs not creating in SYSVOL Policies folder after move to DFS Replication
I moved to DFS replication from FRS last week to allow installation of Server 2022 DCs. All OK appeared. DCDiag and such after showed all OK and DFS event logs not showing any issues except when one of the DCs that is on a ship goes outside reception, I don't think this issue is DFS though. New GPOs that are created show in Group Policy Management but a folder is not being created in the SYSVOL \ Policies folder with corresponding Unique ID as normal. Viewing on the same DC where GP Management confirms it is connected to and can see the GPO drilling even down C:\Windows\SYSVOL_DFSR\... the GPO folder is not there. On PCs applying GPO scoped it gives back "the processing of group policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\domain\sysvol\domain.local\policies\*unique ID*" What am I missing here? I have checked all event logs I can figure related, dcdiag showing OK still, no DFS issues noted nothing like event 2213 or DFSR stopped..? Stopping me being able to continue with work just about now. Is there any bug or something the process when GPO is made the account can't create in that folder or something after moving to DFS from FRS?Solved5.1KViews1like4Comments
