Hmm. I've just done what you have said and I pinged the laptop from the domain controller and the request times out every time.

Hmm, sounds like a plan. I'll try it on Monday.

You can set achieve this by using Group Policy Preferences. This article will explain the setup process. http://blog.migrationking.com/2011/06/how-to-create-gpo-mapped-drives-in.html

I've just checked on GP RSOP and it's not getting any domain policies. Just local ones.

The machine can browse all the shares. I'll updates you soon on the GPMC part.

I can ping myserver.domain.internal fine. I can also ping the DC by it's IP address. How do I check the ARP cache? Everything is on one subnet. No odd entries in the hosts file. Yes, my domain controller is everything (AD, DNS, WDS etc.). The DC is listed in the DNS zone. AD says pwdLastSet was 19th Feb 17. I'll try clearing local GPOs tomorrow. Need to leave now.

I've just removed all computers from DNS, removed the cache and restarted the DNS server but its still not working. There are no duplicates.

Yep. I've wiped it and reloaded it. I've also disabled IPv6 on both the Wireless and Ethernet adapters. Windows Firewall is enabled on the machine and is using the normal settings. It's on a domain profile. Even when I disconnect it from the domain and connect it again, still no group policies are applied. It's really strange. I still get the same error in the event viewer.

The laptop can resolve DNS servers (internal and external) and can resolve websites. I've set up static IP addresses for the laptop.

It's a laptop. It doesn't work if its connected via WiFi or via Ethernet.

Yep, pings work correctly. I use Immunet AV.

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with one of my machines. Its not getting group policies. When I run gpupdate /force I get the following error: Name resolution failure on current domain controller. I only have one domain controller that serves AD, DNS, Files and storage services, IIS and WDS. The machines DNS points to the DC just like all the other machines. I've even rebuilt the machine and changed its name but it still happens. All my other machines work fine. When I preform a nslookup of the domain name and the DC name the DNS request times out. Is there any way to fix this?

I've got it working. When I set my static IP and DNS server, I also set my DNS Domain and I also recreated the task sequence. One of those seemed to fix it Finally can rebuild this machine.

Both are set to everyone permissions so it should work. Yes, I can ping my domain controller and all other computers using the cmd.

I've just run it on a VM. I still get errors.

I've spent the morning trying to get MDT to work again. I've even rebuilt my deployment share but I'm still having the same issue. Every time I get an error saying 'The network path was not found'. I'm wondering whether it's just this machine having issues. The network is part of the reason I'm rebuilding it, the wireless card won't turn on and it's not picking up group policies(name resolution policy issues). I'm PXE booting, but I get the same when running LiteTouch from within Windows. MDT is the latest version and the OS I'm trying to install is Windows 10 1703 x64. Help would be very much appreciated

Hi, I'm looking at tightening up my security up a bit. Currently, the student and staff home shares have 'Everyone' permissions. I would like to restrict access to these. I have a security group for Students and one for Staff. I also have a 'Students$' and 'Staff$' share for home drives. Any recommendations on how to set permissions for these? Thanks

I've not used it but apparently JAMF Suite is good. Not sure if it would meet your needs.

Yeh, I know. I'll fix those tomorrow.

Think I figured it out. I was copying an EXE to my home drive and I forgot that they're not permitted I feel like a noob now

For some reason, Staff no longer have write access to any of their network drives. They just get this error I've not changed any permissions for anything recently. The last thing I changed was the quota of a home drive but I wouldn't expect that to break anything. The permissions for every staff home folder are set as: Help is very appreciated

SMB1 is the protocol that was used to distribute the WannaCry ransomware attack last year. You can read up on disabling it here.

Happy New Year!

Managed to get this sorted. The programs and features menu worked somehow
