If it's deeper in your tree, yes.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:My best suggestion would be to have wifi allocate from a different IP block (it should probably by vlanned off from the rest of the network anyway) and set up the adapter priority so the wired connection takes priority. I believe that should happen automatically anyway because Windows gives priority to the connection with the higher link speed. Also lol if you're not setting your WLAN in some kind of jail.

Is there anything in particular differentiating those machines? Have you tried hooking a logger to a mirror port to see what's actually going on?

FISHMANPET posted:Yeah, I did this, it didn't work, I went to lunch, talked to the head Windows guy that said it wasn't possible, came back from lunch, and the policy had applied itself. But yeah always leave time for new policies to replicate. Force replication and gpupdate if you're in a hurry.

So deploy a shortcut to a list of AD printers and let users choose? E: look at bangers being all useful and thorough!

gallop w/a boner posted:This doesn't answer your question; but under what circumstances do people map a home drive using a method like this, rather than by just filling in the home drive field for the user object in ADUC? I have always just used the home drive setting in there and found that it mapped happily without my specifying anything anywhere else.

And on, you know, the actual AD printer objects?

Mierdaan posted:Somewhere in SHSC's history there was a guy who posted about his job, where everyone had laptops. If IT walked by your laptop and it was unlocked, they posted a note reminding you to lock it. There was no second note - IT would confiscate your laptop and you'd have to get it back from your manager after explaining why you couldn't follow simple instructions. Hell we would even pull that prank on coworkers at customer premises. No one forgot twice.

Pretty sure your script could check for pending reboots instead: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-PendingReboot-Query-bdb79542

You build GPO's with groups of settings that belong together, for whatever reason.Caged posted:I tend to have each GPO achieving a 'thing' - so if I want to set the power policy on my desktops then all the various settings are one GPO. This makes it easy to toggle on and off since you aren't going to change anything else when you do that, and it's a lot easier than having to remember that 5 GPOs together achieve one objective.

Lord save you if you test in production for complex changes, but the way to test is to copy whatever you have and makes changes. When you want to implement, link the copy. Boom.

From what I remember what really kills GPO processing is group-based and WMI filtering. And I've always encountered the weird loving random setting here and there when diagnosing slow startup.

Spudalicious posted:So we have a 2008 domain that's hosting exchange, a fileserver, and a few other servers. It is primarily email as of right now, but we're looking to start joining up our myriad environment to the domain to provide centralized services. Right now our domain is a domainname.local, which is no good. I've never really tried changing a domain name from .local to our actual .edu domain name and I was hoping someone had done a name switch like that and could offer some advice.
