Chuckster Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 In Win 2008 R2 I used the GPMC to edit a GPO that contained the software restriction policy. Now, when trying to view the report in its HTML format I get an error. An error has occurred while collecting data for Software Restriction Policy This error impacts the following settings: Software Restriction Policies Software Restriction Policies/Security Levels Software Restriction Policies/Additional Rules The following errors apply to all of the above settings: When I check this on a Win 2003 server it won't display the report. When I edit something so insignificant within the GPO, it works and everything is back to normal. However, the quoted problem remains on 2008 R2. What's gotten 2008 R2 to not display things right? Any ideas? I've attached a screenshot to show you it doesn't display things right.
linkazoid Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 We have the same problem.... So do alot of others... RSAT for Windows 7 - error viewing group policy settings for software restrictions
MYK-IT Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Same problem here, usings a Windows 7 client to manage the GPO on a Windows 2003 domain. Seems to be a common problem once you start to search for this issue online.

RSAT for Windows 7 - error viewing group policy settings for software restrictions I don't have a Win 7 machine to install this on. Seems like you can't install it on the server, can you?
EJWill Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Luckily it just seems to be a cosmetic error, as all the settings are still shown under 'Extra Registry Settings'.
Chuckster Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Even if it's a cosmetic error, some folks might not know what changes they made because extra settings isn't self-explanatory.
EJWill Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Even if it's a cosmetic error, some folks might not know what changes they made because extra settings isn't self-explanatory. You can still open up the GPO and read the SRP list from within that. Sorry you already mentioned you could do that, misread your first post Edited March 31, 2010 by EJWill
