Setting up a new GPO to prevent access to the control panel.

The first thing you have to do is open the Group Policy Manager. With this in mind, press the Win+R combination and run the following command:

gpmc.msc

Before continuing, it is important to make a clarification. When creating a group policy, there are two areas of application. In the first place you can create a group policy at a general level for all users. To do this, select the Default Domain Policy option. On the other hand, you can create a policy for a certain group of users. With this in mind, select the particular organizational unit. This time we will create the policy for the organizational unit. With this in mind, right click on it. Then click on Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here:

Then assign the name to the new policy.

Back to the previous screen, you can see the new policy already created.

Editing the policy values.

After creating the policy it is time to edit it so that it meets the objectives. With this in mind, right click on it and then on Edit.

Then select the next route: User configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Control Panel. Once there, double-click on Prohibit access to the Control Panel and PC settings.

You must then enable it to enforce the ban.

Back to the editor, you can see the rule actually enabled.

At the end of the day we learned how to prevent access to the Control Panel using GPO in Windows Server 2019/2016. In this way it is possible to increase control over the safety of the system. I hope I have dispelled your doubts. Stay tuned for the latest news and technology tutorials. Bye!

Managing GPO to turn off the screen.

If you are inside Windows Server, you can manage the group policies. In this way, the settings will be applied to all members of the domain. The first thing you have to do is go to the Server Manager. Once there, within the Tools menu, click on Group Policy Management

Then, display the domain and right click on Default Domain Policy. Finally, press Edit.

Then follow the next route: Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Video and Display Settings. Once there you must select the option according to your desktop or laptop. In any case, the policy to edit is the one corresponding to Turn off the display:

Please right-click to edit the policy. The first thing you need to do is to Enable the policy. And then set the time frame for shutting down the screen.

How to create a GPO to block the user session due to inactivity

Windows 10 users can edit a GPO to manage the shutdown of the display. With this in mind, press the Win+R combination and execute the following command:

gpedit.msc

Now please follow the next path: User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Personalization. Once there, double-click on Enable screen saver.

Now, double-click on it to edit it. Then enable the rule. Press OK to continue

Now proceed to edit the rule Screen saver timeout

Once again, enable the rule and set the time frame

To finish the configuration, select the rule Password protect the screen saver.

Just enable it!

Please note that using this method, changes are set at the local level. If you wish to modify the policy of a domain, repeat the steps, but this time using Group Policy Management.

Conclusion

Ultimately, we have seen how to turn off the screen using GPO on Windows 10/Server 2019. This way, you can manage the power consumption of a computer or domain members. All right, that’s it for now. Please stay tuned for more information on Windows 10 and Windows Server. See you later!

How to export security policies. Graphic mode

It is likely that at some point you will modify some element of the security policies. In such a case the most recommendable thing is to export the configuration. This way, you will not have to restore them manually. Since it would be enough with importing them to return to the original state. So first press the Win+R combination and run the following command:

secpol.msc

The local security policy console is immediately displayed. Once there, please right-click on Security Settings. Finally, select the Export Policy option:

By default, Windows 10 will store this file in the following path: C:\Users\coolr\Documents\Security\Templates. However, you can choose a different location. Please assign the name and save the backup.

How to import local security policy. Graphic mode

To import the security policies, we must go back to the local policy manager. With this in mind, repeat the process from the previous point. Once there, right click on Security Settings and then on Import Policy.

Then go to the file location and press open to start the process. Finally, restart the computer to complete the task

How to export the local security policy. Command Prompt Mode

The first thing you have to do is open a command prompt and use the following syntax:

secedit.exe /export /cfg X:\file.inf

Please remember to replace the letter X with the path where you will be saving the file. And of course, assign the name to the file. In my case, the command was like this:

secedit.exe /export /cfg E:\bck.inf

How to import security policy with CMD

To import the security policy, please use the following syntax:

secedit.exe /configure /db %windir%\security\local.sdb /cfg X:file.inf

Once again, modify the parameters as in the previous section. In my case it is:

secedit.exe /configure /db %windir%\security\local.sdb /cfg E:bck.inf

Finally, we have seen how to import or export Local Security Policy in Windows 10/Server 2019. Consequently, we will be able to restore these policies at any time. Or simply export it to another computer. This is all for the moment, before saying goodbye I invite you to see our post on how to check the status of the domain controller in Windows Server. See you later!

Using the Server Manager to create a GPO backup.

To create a backup of the GPO, we will use the Server Manager. Once there, please open the Tools menu, and from there select Group Policy Management.

A control console will be immediately deployed. First select the domain. Then select the Group Policy Objects section. Once here, it is possible to make a backup of all the group directives. With this in mind, right click and then select Back Up All

Another option is to support a specific GPO. With this in mind, double-click on it and then on Back Up.

In either case an assistant will be displayed. Once there, you must select the location where the backup will be saved. You can also enter a brief description of the task.

Once the Back Up button is pressed, the backup process will begin.

After a few seconds, the backup will have been successfully created.

Restoring a GPO backup on Windows Server 2019/2016

In the scenario that some policies are flawed, then it is possible to restore the backup. In this way, we can return to the original state. With this in mind, double-click on Group Policy Objects and then on Manage Backups.

The policies that have been endorsed will be shown immediately. Please select the damaged GPO and finally press the Restore button.

After a few seconds, the GPO will have been successfully restored.

In this simple way, we can always count on the availability of our group policy objects on Windows Server. This represents an increase in system security. By backing up and restoring Group Object Policies on Windows Server, we increase the level of control over the server. Okay, that’s it for now. Before I say goodbye, I invite you to see our post about blocking emails from specific senders in Microsoft Outlook. Bye!

How to configure applications to start automatically using GPO.

As mentioned, we will be using the Group Policy Manager. With this intention, press the Win+R combination and execute the following command:

gpmc.msc

The Group Policy Manager will be deployed immediately. Please display the domain in the corresponding section. Please note, this action will apply the policy to the entire domain. However, for group-specific apps in particular, then you must select the organizational unit. Then, select the users and the policy applies there.

Then, right click on Default Domain Policy. Then select Edit.

Then follow the next path:

• Computer Configuration
• Policies
• Administrative Templates
• System
• Logon

Once there, please double-click on Run the programs at user logon.

As you can see, the policy is disabled by default. In the first place, click on Enabled. This will enable the Show button. Please click on it.

In the next window, you must enter the executables of each program. In addition, you can enter not only your own Windows programs but also corporate applications from third parties.

Back to the previous screen, just press OK to set the changes. And that’s it! From now on, every time you start the server, the previously selected apps will be executed. In addition, you can use the gpupdate /force command to force policy updates.

Conclusion

In this simple way, we have seen how to run applications on Windows Server startup with GPO. Therefore, we hope to improve the productivity of the administrators. In addition, this allows us to automate changes and save valuable time. All right, that’s it for now. Before I go, I invite you to join our group at Telegram. Bye!

Prerequisites

• The local network must be structured in Active Directory. That is, at least one of the servers must have the Active Directory installed. To know how to do it, take a look at this post.
• The computers to be managed must be linked to the domain. In addition, their users must use their domain credentials to log in to the computers.
• You need permissions to edit Group Policy in your domain. Consequently, the user has to be part of the Policy Administrator group.

Let’s create a Group Police Object on Windows Server 2019

In the first place, enter the Dashboard Server. Once there, please click on Tools. Then click on Group Policy Manager.

A window with the group policy manager will be displayed immediately. Please note that these steps are simple, but should be followed in their order. Well, in the left column you must select the previously created forest. Immediately below, is the assigned domain. Please right click on it, and select the option: Create a GPO in this domain and Link it here.

Then assign the name of your preference to the GPO.

Finally, you can see the GPO actually created. In addition, you can see all the settings that have been made.

Conclusion

In this simple way, we have seen how to create a GPO on Windows Server. This tool is an excellent option to manage multiple computers connected to the directory. This allows to assign tasks and general behaviors. This way you avoid having to configure each computer individually. In later posts, we will continue to delve into these policies. All right, that’s it for now. See you later!

Mapping a drive means that you want permanent access to a shared folder created on another computer. Windows OS will assign a drive letter to the network drive and it can be accessed just like any other local drive connected to your computer.

Mapping network drives with group policy preference is very easy and it does not require any scripting knowledge. Also, We can use item-level targeting to map drives based on specific conditions like group membership, OU, operating system, etc.

In this example,  We will use item-level targeting so it only maps the network drive for users who are a member of the specific security group.

For this guide already I have created.
Two users with the name HR User1 and HR User2
One security group name HRUsers. (HR User 1 is a member of this security group)

One shared folder on a domain controller (\\WD19DC1\HR Data)

Step:1 Create a group policy object to map a network drive:
Open the Group Policy Management Console.

In the Group Policy Management Console, right-click on group policy objects and select new.

Specify a proper name (Map Network Drive using Group Policy Preference GPO) to the new group policy object.

On the group policy object right-click and select the edit option.

Navigate to User Configuration → Preferences → Windows Settings → Drive Maps.

Right Click Drive Maps, Select New –> Mapped Drive.

On “General” tab specify the details as below:
Action: Create.
Location: \\WD19DC1\HR Data.
Label as: HR Data.
Use: H. (This is going to be the drive letter)

On “Common” tab. Select “Run in logged-on user’s security context and item-level targeting check boxes. Click on targeting button.

Click on New Item. Select “Security Group” and then select the security group you want to target.

Click on ok button. (In our case it will be HRUsers security group).

Click on Apply and ok button to close the new drive properties.

This completes the GPO settings. Close group policy management editor console.

Step:2 Link group policy object:
In the Group Policy Management Console, right-click on the Domain/OU where you want to link the group policy object.

Select “Link an existing GPO”. Select the GPO (In our case it will be Map Network Drive GPO).
Click on ok button.

Step:3 Test the result:
On the client computer, Login with the user who is a member of HRUsers security group that we have added in the item-level targeting to verify that our policy of mapping drive using Item Level Targeting GPO is deployed or not.

Verify that mapped drive using item-level targeting is deployed successfully by accessing the mapped drive naming HR Data (H) .

Log off from user account HR Users1 and log in as an HR user2 (who is not a member of HRUsers security group).

Verify that mapped drive is not present under file explorer.

It works perfectly fine for us.
Now, any user we put in the HRUsers security group will get this mapped drive.

Prerequisites

There are a few prerequisites for this method of deployment to work, but the requirements are ridiculously easy to meet. First off, this method of deployment is for network printers or shared printers.

Any printers installed locally on a client PC and not shared are not an option for deployment via Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Also, your clients need to be running Windows 7 or above, and last but not least, you need an Active Directory (AD) installation that can run Group Policy Preferences (GPPs), introduced with Server 2008. Also, for this article, I’ll assume you are already comfortable setting up a network printer and creating a printer share and have already done so.

We’ll be using GPPs to configure and control the printer deployment options. If you’ve never used GPPs, you’re in for a treat. It’s one of the best features Microsoft has given admins for really getting creative with Group Policy deployment criteria.

Computer vs. User Deployment

The image below shows that GPPs live inside a GPO. There are separate preferences sections for the Computer Configuration and the User Configuration. Both sections have many of the same options, but there are differences. I highlighted the Printers section in each GPP. So why two sections? How do I know which one to use?

Group Policy can deploy settings to computers or users. The same is true for GPPs. For printing, you can choose to deploy a printer to a computer or by individuals and groups; the difference comes down to how you want to manage your printers.

Deploying a printer via GPPs to a computer will install it for all users that log in to a client computer and only on that computer. Conversely, a deploying a printer via GPPs to a user will only install it into the profile of the user you specify. However, installing printers per user will install them everywhere that user logs in.

You should install a printer reserved for the executives via the User Configuration; manage a printer needed for all users of a computer via the Computer Configuration. Here’s the interesting part though—you could deploy the same printer using both methods if you needed to, but it may get a little challenging trying to troubleshoot issues. So I don’t recommend you do this.

Printer configuration

Getting started deploying printers with GPPs is a very straightforward task. The first thing we need is a Group Policy to work with. I expect you understand how to link a GPO to an organizational unit (OU) and target the GPO correctly. From there, you need to decide if you want to deploy printers to users or computers. Most of the printers in my network are deployed to groups of users rather than to computers regardless of who is logged in. For this scenario, I would use the User Configuration section of the GPO.

Adding a printer to deploy is a wizard-driven process. You’ll add one entry for each printer you wish to deploy. Since I want to deploy to users, I open my printer deployment GPO and drill down to the preferences section of the User Configuration. Then I right-click on the Printers option in the left-hand side of the window. There are three choices for deployment: Shared Printer, TCP/IP Printer, and Local Printer. I’ve set up my printers to use shared names, so I will select the Shared Printer option.

In the dialog box that opens, you’ll configure all the options for the printer. There are two tabs of configuration options. First, we’ll work on the General tab, which has three fields to configure.

There are three pieces of information needed to add a printer to the GPO: printer path, printer update action, and who will receive the printer installation. Let’s walk through each one.

• Printer path: This is the shared path of the printer, and you’ll add the info to the Share path entry of the dialog box.
• Action: This field controls what will happen when the GPO runs on the client PC. There are four options here: Create, Replace, Update, and Delete.
  • Create and Delete do exactly as you would expect. Selecting one of these options tells the GPO to create the printer if it isn’t already installed or delete the printer if installed previously.
  • Update causes the GPO to update any printer info since the last time the GPO ran on this machine.
  • Replace will cause the printer to “replace” the installed shared printer every time the GPO runs. Let me explain further.

For printer installs, Create, Update, and Replace are the logical options, but what’s the difference between those choices? The Create option will install a printer once and then ignore any updates on subsequent GPO refreshes. Update will install a printer if it is missing (the same as Create) but also update any changed information since the last refresh. Lastly, Replace will delete a printer and reinstall it on every GPO refresh.

When would you use the Replace option? Printer migrations!

I use Update for all of my printers. However, if I change the path of the printer from an old server to a new server, Update creates a second printer with the same name but a different path. Replace fixes this by effectively deleting the print queue and reinstalling each time the GPO runs.

This is not a great option for everyday work, but for migrations, Replace is the best option for deleting old printer queues and replacing them with the newer versions. There is an option to set a printer as a default printer, but I usually do not set that value. Instead, I let the end users decide which printer they want to be their default.

Item-level targeting

Once you have configured the printer path and the Action, you need to configure who will receive this printer. Item-level targeting describes the selection criteria, and you can find it on the Common tab.

The common tab has some often-overlooked options I want to bring to your attention. I mentioned item-level targeting, which has its own checkbox and button. We’ll need to check the box to enable the option to select who gets the printer. But before we explore this option, I want to point out the checkbox for Run in logged-on user’s security context (user policy option). This checkbox is critical for deployment.

GPPs run under the local system account. This box tells the GPO to install the printer as the logged-on user rather than as the system. If you do not check this box, the printer install will fail because the local system account doesn’t have privileges to the shared location of the printer path.

This checkbox has burned me many times, so I want to make sure you always remember to think about this option when deploying printers, mapped drives, or shortcuts that point to network locations.

Finally, let’s review how you can “target” the printer for a subset of users. I’ll start off by saying that last sentence is actually not 100% correct. If you refer to the picture below, you’ll notice two choices: Security Group and User. These will probably be how most admins deploy their printers, but they’re certainly not the only choices you have.

There are many options for selection criteria, such as by OU or IP address range. You can get very creative with how you deploy your printers. I’ll walk you through deploying to a group of users.

Selecting the Security Group option  presents me with a second dialog box that lets me enter a group name. This is standard AD lookup stuff and probably looks familiar.

Once you have selected a valid security group, click OK twice, and the dialog box disappears. At this point, you have configured the printer for the deployment. I will mention that there are other options in the Targeting Editor window for making really complex selections, but I’ll leave that for you to explore on your own.

You can configure hundreds of printers to deploy from one single GPO if you prefer. This is all because of the granular control you can apply to each printer via GPPs. When you configure a few more printers, your GPP panel will look like the image below.

Conclusion

I have walked you through the most important options you need to configure to deploy a printer successfully to a group using GPPs. These options are super powerful, and I encourage you to explore the options to see how they can help you configure client PCs and servers in ways you may have never considered. If you have any follow-up questions about how to deploy printers, please leave a comment below. Thanks for reading, and I hope this becomes a useful guide you can refer back to any time you need a refresher on printer deployment options.

Edge integration with cloud services at an early stage

The latter aims to replace Google services with their Microsoft equivalents. This includes setting up Bing as the standard search engine, synchronizing user profiles via Azure instead of Google Cloud, or using SmartScreen instead of Google Safe Browsing.

In a further step, Microsoft wants to integrate services that are particularly appealing to companies. Examples include logging on to Azure Active Directory with support for conditional access and integrating the Information Protection DRM service to prevent users from printing or copying specific pages.

An enterprise tab is also planned, which automatically displays content from an intranet, frequently used web applications, or documents from Office 365 when opened.

The integration of most of these services is underway and will be available in upcoming releases. At some point, the Windows 10 security feature “Application Guard” will run the browser in an isolated VM to prevent malware from infecting the system.

Due to its management features, Microsoft has already declared the current preview to be Ready for Business. The focus is on the administrative templates that are now available, so that companies can manage the browser using group policies. In the future, the settings available for GPOs will also be offered as CSPs for Mobile Device Management.

ADMX from the Chromium project

One might be surprised that Microsoft was able to provide more than 180 GPO settings for the Chromium-based browser right away, since the predecessor only had about 50 after several updates.

However, a comparison with Chrome’s group policies shows that Microsoft did not develop the GPO support for Edge itself. The ADMX template is essentially from Chromium, and Microsoft has only added or changed a few settings.

Microsoft did not or was not allowed to completely remove those settings that were tailored for Google services. Hence, the template still contains settings for Google SafeSearch, YouTube, and Cast.

The settings follow Chrome’s logic, which is atypical for group policies, because some of them only define default values that can be changed by the user. The configuration by GPOs is normally mandatory, whereas the Group Policy Preferences are meant to set modifiable default values.

This design by Google is obviously a tribute to a multi-platform browser that should be managed with similar settings across all operating systems.

In order not to lose track of the many settings admins might have configured through group policies, Edge provides a detailed list, which can be found using the URL edge://policy

Again, this is not an invention of Microsoft. Rather, all Chromium-based browsers have this feature (in Chrome you enter chrome://policy). In addition, the ZIP archive with the ADMX templates contains documentation in HTML format like Chrome, and the file is called microsoftedge_policy_list.html.

Deployment via offline installer

Microsoft advertises the availability of an offline installer as another business feature. Private users receive a setup program by default that downloads the required binaries from the Internet. The MSI package contains all the files required for the browser. It also allows silent installation via group policies, SCCM, or similar tools.

As you can easily see, the new Edge is a Win32 application and no longer a UWP app. The implementation as an app turned out to be a major mistake. As such, it has not been available on older versions of Windows or on Windows 10 LTSC. Because of its dependence on Windows 10, Edge’s market share has remained low so far.

It can be safely assumed that the Chromium-based browser will be shipped with the operating system in the future. But if you are still working with older versions of the OS, you can install Edge yourself. Previews for Windows 7 and 8.x are already available. Microsoft also offers the browser for macOS; Edge already runs on Chromium under Android.

Installation into the user profile

From Chromium, Edge also inherits a peculiarity that admins don’t like much. If users lack administrative rights, the setup will install the browser in their profile. This allows them to bypass the company’s standard browser.

However, if you install Edge as an administrator under the directory %ProgramFiles%, the setup removes the private installations on this computer.

No more updates using WSUS

Due to Edge’s multi-platform orientation, Microsoft uses a unified mechanism for updates like the one already used in Chrome.

If admins do not want to have another auto-updater in their network that receives the bits for each individual computer separately, they can disable it via a GPO. Microsoft provides its own ADMX template for the management of updates.

However, it is then up to the companies to keep the browser up to date by distributing the latest MSIs. This is especially important when security issues have been fixed. Compared to Internet Explorer, this means a step backwards because the legacy browser can be automatically updated via WSUS in a corporate environment.

Switching between languages

The decoupling of Edge from Windows is also evident in another feature. Chromium-based Edge allows the user to switch between different languages. Normally, a Windows application should automatically adopt the regional settings of the operating system.

In a browser, switching between display languages can lead to unwanted problems because the value for ACCEPT_LANGUAGE in the HTTP header also changes. Many websites then automatically present their content in the language specified there.

Internet Explorer mode

As an additional feature for companies in the current preview, Microsoft names the Internet Explorer mode, previously known as IE Enterprise mode. Its purpose is to redirect web pages to the IE if they cannot be displayed properly in a modern browser.

To do this, you create a site list in XML format and load it via a GPO. The URLs stored there will be opened automatically by Internet Explorer in the future. This process is transparent for the user, the page will simply open in a new tab.

Why Use QoS Policy?

As traffic increases on your network, it is increasingly important for you to balance network performance with the cost of service – but network traffic is not normally easy to prioritize and manage.

On your network, mission-critical and latency-sensitive applications must compete for network bandwidth against lower priority traffic. At the same time, some users and computers with specific network performance requirements might require differentiated service levels.

The challenges of providing cost-effective, predictable network performance levels often first appear over wide area network (WAN) connections or with latency-sensitive applications, like voice over IP (VoIP) and video streaming. However, the end-goal of providing predictable network service levels applies to any network environment (for example, an Enterprises’ local area network), and to more than VoIP applications, such as your company’s custom line-of-business applications.

Before you create a QoS policy, it is important that you understand the two key QoS controls that are used to manage network traffic:

1- Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)

You can create QoS policies that define network traffic priority with a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value that you assign to different types of network traffic.

The DSCP allows you to apply a value (0–63) within the Type of Service (TOS) field in an IPv4 packet’s header, and within the Traffic Class field in IPv6.

The DSCP value provides network traffic classification at the Internet Protocol (IP) level, which routers use to decide traffic queuing behavior.

For example, you can configure routers to place packets with specific DSCP values into one of three queues: “high priority”, “best effort”, or “lower than best effort”.

By default, Windows traffic has a DSCP value of 0.

2- Throttle Rate

You can also limit an application’s outbound network traffic by specifying a throttle rate in QoS Policy.

A QoS policy that defines throttling limits determines the rate of outbound network traffic. For example, to manage WAN costs, an IT department might implement a service level agreement that specifies that a file server can never provide downloads beyond a specific rate.

Configuration Steps

Open Server Manager, click Tools and then click Group Policy Management.

Right-click on the domain name, and then click Create a GPO in this domain and Link it here.

In the New GPO dialog box, in the Name text box, type DSCP VoIP GPO, and then click OK.

Now In the navigation pane, right-click  DSCP VoIP GPO, and then click Edit.

Expand the Windows Setting section of the Local Computer Policy and right click the Policy-based QoS selection

Now In the navigation pane, under Computer Configuration ⇾ Policies ⇾ Windows Settings. Right click Policy-base QoS and select Advance QoS Settings then go to the DSCP Marking override tab. Check the Control DSCP marking checkbox and select Allowed and Click OK.

Again, right-click  Policy-base QoS, and then click Edit.

In the Policy-based QoS configuration pop-up provide the desired Policy name.  Then choose the desired value in the “Specify DSCP Value“.  This is the value with which you would like to mark the packets sent from the server. 

Choose the desired value in the “Specify Outbound Throttle Rate“. Once these values has been defined select  the Next button.

Select “Only applications with the executable name:” and type in name of the application like “CiscoJabber.exe”. Then click next.

Apply the policy to any source and destination IP address. And then click next.

Change “Select the protocol this QoS policy applies to” to TCP and UDP, since you need both marked, and allow from any source and destination port since there is a very wide range needed. Then click “Finish”. Now test.

Similar to GPO’s priorities, QoS policies have precedence rules to resolve conflicts when multiple QoS policies apply to a specific set of traffic. For outbound TCP or UDP traffic, only one QoS policy can be applied at a time, which means that QoS policies do not have a cumulative effect, such as where throttle rates would be summed.

In general, the QoS policy with the most matching conditions wins. When multiple QoS policies apply, the rules fall into three categories: user-level versus computer-level; application versus the network quintuple; and among the network quintuple.

By network quintuple, we mean the source IP address, destination IP address, source port, destination port, and protocol (TCP/UDP).
