102 TopicsRecycle Bin GPO settings not working/implemented in Windows Server 2022.
Hi, folks. I leverage the following three settings under User/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/File Explorer to effectively disable the Recycle Bin and force prompting for deletions on all Windows Server hosts, yet on Windows Server 2022, they are having no effect. The description for each setting contains no hints as to whether they've been deliberately omitted from Windows Server 2022 (most likely) or this is just some kind of bug/accidental omission. I ran a cross-check using the local group policy editor on a Server 2022 host as I haven't specifically updated the domain templates to Server 2022, but it's the same outcome. Does anyone have any insight as to whether these settings have been dropped as of Server 2022/Windows 11?

I am a newly system administrator for an organization and I am trying to create a Group Policy that will allow specific users to download and use certain software like LogMeIn123 without having to use admin privileges. We don't want to give full admin rights, but only for this specific instance. I have done some research, but I am not sure the best way to set this up. The problem is our IT team consists of 3 members total and cannot be everywhere at once and this would be beneficial in key times. I have seen some people recommend using a login script, but I am not sure how to do that. I have also seen some people recommend using a third-party tool which is out of the questions for our organization. I am also open to other ways and ideas of having preforming this. Can anyone please provide me with some instructions on how to set this up? Thanks in advance for your help! Additional information: I am using Windows Server 2012R2. I have a list of the specific users that I want to allow to install LogMeIn123. I have the LogMeIn123 installation file located on a network server.24KViews0likes5CommentsConfigure RPC packet level privacy setting for incoming connections not show in group policy
Hi, it's about the group policy setting in windows server 2022, I have downloadedWindows Server 2022 Security Baseline.zip fromhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55319Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0 and importedSecGuide.adml andSecGuide.admx. I can see the MS Security Guide folder in local group policy editor, but there is no setting for "Configure RPC packet level privacy setting for incoming connections", I also try to find from All Settings, there is no such setting. Could you advice how to config it to let it show in the group policy editor or GPO. Thanks.Solved1.5KViews0likes2CommentsAdditional 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.Solved346Views1like1Commentsetting GP Link failure

We have users that roam between floors and we have one Group Policy handling the printer setup. So when the user is on Floor 1, they get printer A and B, but when they disconnect and go to Floor 2 they get printers C and D. and the default printer changes according to the floor they are on. The GP is setup so that if they are on a Floor 1 endpoint computer it gives out printer A and B. All of this is setup in one GPO and it is divided up by floors. I can simulate this problem on two computers setup at my desk lab. We used to use Server 2012 and it worked just fine. When the user would do a tsdisconnect, and connect back to their session, the printers would change per floor. I know it is the same session, because programs stay open. We went recently to Server 2022 and this stopped working. The printers from Floor 1 stayed and never changed to Floor 2 printers. So I dropped back on a test machine to Server 2016 and it works fine with that version as well. I have not tried 2019, but we had similar issues of it giving us "ghost sessions" that we couldn't kill, which is a whole other problem. It seems like since 2012 or 2016, the server family has some weird problems. I searched high and low for people with similar problems, but most people seem to "lose" their default printer, and I don't have that issue, I can't get it to change according to GPO. Thanks for an insight on this.484Views0likes1Comment
