Applying User GPO's

[lholland421]

Hi Guys, I am on the process of setting up windows 10 GPO and successfully set up WMi filters. i have a problem at the moment where the machine policy has been applied using my WMI filter. when i attempt to apply the user GPO using the same WMI the gpo doesnt get applied.

 

When i do a GPRESULT i can see the WMI for the machine policy has worked but i cannot see the user policy in the list at all. I would have thought to have seen it with a denied state or something. But nothing.

 

Has anyone had this before?

 

Would this have anything to do with Group Policy Loopback ?

 

Cheers

So you have computer and user settings in the same gpo.... what ou is the policy applying to?

I have an ou with computers in with "windows 10 machines policy" (with only computer config) applied to the machines that works.

I've then got a users ou with a "windows 10 user policy" applied to the users (with only user configuration) that doesn't work.

 

If I link the user gpo to the machine ou it works, but that's no good because every user that logs into that machine will get the same settings.

What you can do is have A computer policy with loopback that is security filtered to the users security group and Domain Computers removing the default Authenticated users and this seems to work for us.

 

For instance we have different BGinfo policies which is applied to workstations but staff have all different info i.e. groups, extension number etc. I've just applied the following for staff policy

 

All Staff

Domain Computers

 

And for the Student policy

 

All Students

Domain Computers

Thanks, I have done a GPO modelling test and it shows that the user policies should be getting applied but on the windows 10 machine when i run gpresult it doesn't even show the group policy at all.

 

Surely if the modelling test comes back okay it should be getting applied?
