    Cannot reactivate Offline files feature in explorer via GPO

    The answer to the riddle appeared to be very simple : the Default Domain Policy GPO had its "Enforced" flag active. So it took precedence over any GPO executed afterwards, even if they were Enforced as well. The first Enforced GPO executed always wins... So after removing the Enforced flag on...

    Within our Default Domain Policy there is a setting to disable the Offline Files feature for workstations : Machine Configuration > Network > Offline Files > Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature = Disabled Prohibit user configuration of Offline Files = Enabled. User...

    Copy directories (+ contents) with WILDCARDS in source dir name

    FOUND IT! No xcopy, xxcopy, robocopy... but a simple .VBScript ! For the example in my first post, this would look like: [COLOR=green]Const OverWriteFiles = True Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.CopyFolder "D:\Data\ABC*" , "D:\test" , OverWriteFiles[/color green]...

    Copy directories (+ contents) with WILDCARDS in source dir name

    This would only copy any FILES starting with "ABC". I really want all files (no filter on those), but residing within the DIRECTORIES with names starting with "ABC

    Copy directories (+ contents) with WILDCARDS in source dir name

    Robocopy, XCOPY and all that stuff apparently refuse to accept wildcards in the source directory. I am looking for a way to copy entire directories, of which the names start with a certain pattern. This implies the use of a wildcard. e.g. Robocopy d:\data\ABC* d:\test\ /s The idea being that...

    Custom ADM template and registry-based GPO

    Thanks, Neil I couldn't find any option in the default group policies to disable this feature. On the other hand, as I mentioned, I'm not sure what the correct path in the KEYNAME should be, to have this "feature" behave like a True Policy. I have been searching for info about where exactly...

    Custom ADM template and registry-based GPO

    After some research, I found the answer on this website: http://www.petri.co.il/adding_new_administrative_templates_to_gpo.htm The KEYNAME is indeed \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour but to avoid the "There are no items to show in this view", and subsequently the...

    Custom ADM template and registry-based GPO

    My basic problem is I want to disable the XP-nag "Windows XP Tour". The corresponding registry key would be: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour However, when specifying this as KEYNAME in a ADM-file, adding the template to a policy, will create new category Nuisances...

    Add/Remove Programs not working

    I had the same problem (most likely caused by some virus indeed), and got it back to work by copying Mshta.exe from C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386 to C:\WINNT\System32. You might also find it in C:\WINNT\System32\dllcache , but make sure you unmark "hide protected operating system files" in...

    Folder Redirection GPO runs before script has ended.

    I forgot to mention: I assume the CONTEXT under which the home directory is created, is the USER's credentials ? And what if the group USERS has no permissions on the folder HOMESHARE ? The thing is, I would like to avoid having to create the home directories for all users upfront, as there are...

    Folder Redirection GPO runs before script has ended.

    Baddos, What are the default permissions on your share HOMESHARE ? Especially for the group USERS ? You can mail me a screenprint if you want... (p.vanos@hivt.ha.be) I observed that the home directory is NOT created at first logon, while the drive letter H: and the path are correctly entered in...

    Folder Redirection GPO runs before script has ended.

    I have 2 GPO's in the same OU. One general GPO has a LOGON-script, that is supposed to create a homedirectory if it doesn't exist yet. The problem is that the second GPO that takes care of Folder Redirection (My Documents and Application Data) is running and completed way BEFORE the script has...

    Roaming profiles with different PC configuration types.

    bcastner, thanks for your reply. Link was very useful, although still have issues with redirections not taking place for some reason. I opened on that subject a separate thread in the past (thread931-783739). In the Step-by-Step Guide to User Data and User Settings, there was a very interesting...

    Roaming profiles with different PC configuration types.

    When a given user with a (mandatory) roaming profile has to access Windows 2K Professional workstations with different software configurations (on a domain with W2003server with AD), how can I make sure that the applications loaded on that particular PC are available to this user ? I suppose it...

    Query about Roaming profiles in an NT 4 domain

    Couple of things to try: 1)Make sure that folder My Documents is located on a share on some server. This is by default located in the profile, which can then grow very big. 2) Same for pop3- mailboxes like Outlook Express, that are kept within a folder in the profile. Also you might want to turn...
