Re: Group Policy Delegation



Hello Customer,

Thank you for kind update.

I'm glad to hear that things are working correctly for you now. Thank you
very much for sharing out your resolution.


Per my research, your resolution is good. Meanwhile, GPO will apply on
different accounts and different computers depend on several reasons:

a. Where the GPO link to. If it links to domain.local, it will apply to all
computers include SBS. If it links to Domain Controllers, it will only
apply on SBS server. You can see the Links box under the Scope tab of each
GPO.

b. Security Filtering. You can see it under Scope tab too. It will let you
which groups, users, or computers will apply this GPO. You can modify the
list as your request.

c. WMI Filtering.

| I trying to I am trying to control the local windows firewall on the

| programs to be disabled.
|
|
| I double checked my settings and tried a different approach. I added
| the computer name to the deligation list then added the Apply Group
| Policy check for it alone.
|
| It worked!
|
| I tried once more to apply the policy to Authenticated users and
| brought down the entire corporation. (oops)
|
| After removing the policy and enabling the company to work, I checked
| the Domain controller firewall. It is dissabled, because a alternate
| firewall is being used by the server. I enabled it for a second and
| found the same problem as in having the policy enabled, So I added the
| server to the list and denied the right to Apply Group Policy for the
| Firewall GPo. When I enabled the policy for Authenticated users it
| worked properly.
|
| I guess my question is this...
|
| Is it considered "Standard Policy" to remove the Domain Servers and/or
| Administrative accounts from All policies in general or policies like a
| firewall policy?
