Group Policy not applying shows as "Inaccessible"

[fiza]

I have downloaded the Chrome ADMX templates and set up a policy with a few user settings in it. I have attached it to a GP OU with users only in it. The policy does not apply and on checking Group Policy Results I see that it gets denied as "Inaccessible". I have checked the permissions and the test user has the right permissions and is listed in the Security of the policy. In GP Results the Denied GPO shows only its GUID, not its name (see screenshot).

 

Any ideas what is going on?

When you say the test user did you filter it to that user? if so did you remember to put authenticated users back in the delegated part for reading it?

I did filter it to just that user but I didnt know I had to put authenticated users back into the delegated part for reading it. I have never done that before and other policies work fine.

 

I will try adding authenticated users back in to the delegated tab and see what happens.

You never had to before, but last year a patch for security "fixed" it At least for 2012+ but guessing they probably added it back to 08 too

 

So now if you don't re-add auth users when you take it out the computers can't read it properly and throw a wobble.

Thanks Steve. That worked. I did read the KB about the patch but as it applied to 2012+ I didn't pay too much attention to it.

MS logic seems to be patch stuff even though it's "unsupported" but don't update notes! haha

 

At least it's sorted
