TC-1927

Hi @PhilNeal - wondered if we were one of the five or if our issues are related. Will DM yiu our school details now. Ta!

I've come back to it as it seems like the best answer. The targeting will only allow you to set day of the week and time slots with and/or functions. I can narrow it down, but it won't be 100% as we have a two-week timetable cycle and the lessons are in different periods in week 1 and week 2. Thanks!

BUMP! I've looked at: Group Policy Preferences Targetting - the printer is deployed via Print Management 'Deploy with Group Policy' rather than GPP Papercut Script - Can enable and disable the printer via scheduled task but staff need to be able to print to it without time restrictions (restrictions only for pupils) Applying a WMI Filter - I think this might be the best bet but I'm not sure how to go about getting it to combine a time and a date (using WMI Code Generator) Any help appreciated!

Had a reply from Capita - looks like it is a firewall issue for us. Back to our LA we go.

Hi I'm just wondering if there's a way of mapping printers to computers for only certain lessons, ie certain times a fortnight recurring. Has anyone done anything like this? I'm looking at GPP targeting editor and that has time/date items but it doesn't seem like the answer. Script that queries a timetable or similar?

Hi - Yes! Pretty much exactly as you say. We have tickets open with capita and our firewall provider (LA) at present, I would guess it's getting stuck in the firewall somewhere but neither side have given us an answer so far.

At primary level, the LAs tend to timetable technicians (or at least attend schools on a ticket based system). Secondaries mostly employ their own geeks as far as I'm aware!

Hello!

Thanks both - further googling seems to indicate I have some VMs to move...

Yes... should I not have?

Update - I found this article and disabled the second, unused NIC on DC3. It is now showing the correct IP in GPMC. However - the same error messages are present when I run 'detect now' under GPMC > status.

Yep, all static IPv4 addresses. Other than the above, connectivity between all DCs seems normal and TCP/IP works properly.

Morning Hope someone can help with this, I can't see anything relevant on technet! We rebuilt our domain over the summer and, by and large, it's gone well barring this one issue. We have inconsistent delivery of group policies to our clients (mostly ICT suites), resulting in PCs having to be gpupdate/restarted 2-3 times in order for users to receive the correct desktop environment. The event viewer on the clients show the 'Processing of Group Policy failed because of a lack of connectivity to one or more domain controllers' error (1129). The screen grabs below are both from 'DC3 (s2012r2)' - which is the one showing as 'inaccessible' in GPIS. We have three DCs at the moment - one of which was our test DC (s2012) from before summer when the new domain was in testing phase. I've labelled this as DC2 on the first screen grab below - its status shows as one server always processing no matter when I refresh the status report. DC3 also seems problematic, and it showing as a 169.254 address. I have full connectivity to the DC and can ping it from anywhere else on the domain, and I can ping out to other servers and workstations from it. It has Hyper-V installed on it so the adapter shows as vEthernet, but this is the same configuration as our baseline DC (DC1 - s2012r2) which isn't showing any errors in GPIS. The second screen grab shows the list of network adapters. I'm guessing GPMC on DC3 is looking at the wrong adapter for replication? How can I change this? Bit of a frustrating issue - hope someone can shed some light on it! Screen grabs: Thanks in advance!

Had a few users report this, you are not alone! Haven't had a proper investigate yet but will report back once I do.

Been there, they no longer stock this specific model. Cheers!
