Adam, These are the extensions that are available when you install the PolicyMaker suite. Native (Microsoft) Group Policy extensions make up just 1/3 of these. The Administrative Templates extension includes hundreds of individual security and other operating system configuration parameters. Software Update provides Group Policy patch management using SUS/WUS data. Printers provides mapping of shared printers or connection of IP printers. The solutions possible with these extensions and the numerous policy types they include are innumerable. *Environment Variables *Local Users and Groups *Application Security *Device Restrictions *Wireless *Network Options *Drive Maps *Folder Redirection *Administrative Templates *Microsoft Disk Quota *QoS Packet Scheduler *Scripts *Security *Internet Explorer Branding *EFS recovery *Software Installation *Software Update *IP Security *Folders *Files *Data Sources *Ini Files *Windows Services *Folder Options *Scheduled Tasks *Registry *Applications *Printers *Shortcuts *Mail Profiles *Internet Settings *Start Menu Settings *Regional Options *Power Options One of the strengths of Group Policy is its ability to target groups of settings in a GPO to users and/or computers by site, domain, and organizational unit. Additionally, GPOs can be filtered by security group and WMI filters. PolicyMaker extensions add to this flexibility by implement per-setting targeting using a graphical drag and drop filter interface common to all extensions and settings. This allows administrators to create a much smaller number of GPOs and target contained settings more granularly. Filter classes include:]]>Anonymous User Wed, 27 Apr 2005 22:21:01 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/10-ways-to-manage-desktops-with-group-policy#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/antivirus/spyware-hunters#commentsAnchorTue, 26 Apr 2005 09:11:13 GMT
I think there is no clear winner, so I don’t know how somebody says spysweeper won hands down, that’s not true eventhough I love it, It was unable to push out some agents. but as I said in my previous comment the best are (order does not matter): Pestpatrol, CounterSpy and SpySweeper. But none of them can guarantee 100% removal of all spyware. By the way forget mcafee’s antispyware or aluria’s Antispyware are a waste of time and money and also can forget microsoft’s one, CounterSpy detects the same and more.

Adam, Thanks for your thoughtful response. Having worked with IT Pro (and predecessors) for many years, this is the type of in-depth discussion I would expect readers to appreciate the most. Group Policy is an expansive and valuable topic, and it’s hard to get enough depth even in a feature article. Generating discussion on the topic of what’s missing is a great approach to this problem. Please forgive me if I got the wrong impression regarding sponsorship of the article, but it’s easy to come to this conclusion given the contents of the “Interact” section at the top of the article (in both print and online versions). I assumed that was a paid position associated with the article – which of course was the cover story for the April print edition. My mistake. I don’t know a lot about the SL product, but from what I understand it’s dependent on KiXtart scripting, not Group Policy. There are many ways to accomplish management tasks in a distributed network – scripting, script generators, various utility products and tools, infrastructure investments such as ZENworks, SMS, Tivoli, Altiris, etc. Some of these claim to have association with Group Policy. However to actually provide new Group Policy features requires implementing Microsoft’s extensive specification for Group Policy Extension, including Group Policy Object Editor extensions, Resultant Set of Policy snap-in extensions, GPMC integration, and Client Side Extensions. This is how the Microsoft extensions work. It’s hard for me to come up with an example of desktop management functionality that cannot be managed easily using a Group Policy extension. Of course there is not a Group Policy extension to cover every conceivable management task, yet this is true of all management products. Should holes in native functionality be filled by non-Group Policy utilities if there are capable extensions available? That’s an individual decision, but one that should be made with an understanding of the options. In fairness, Brian did state that third party products (presumably extensions) are required to fill the holes in Group Policy – but that’s by design. Reusing my own analogy, one wouldn’t argue that IE was “too limited” because Microsoft didn’t provide all of the plug-ins. Just the opposite is true. Group Policy is practically *unlimited* because it’s extensible and the extensibility model is supported. This isn’t true of most other desktop management systems. Brian missed an opportunity to point out a legitimate limitation of Group Policy – it doesn’t support Windows NT 4 or Windows 9x desktops. As I understand SL predates Group Policy and supports these platforms. I assume he has a good product and I’m sure it can fill some of the holes left by native Group Policy even on current platforms. However, people looking for Group Policy solutions should be aware that there are in fact true Group Policy extensions that more than handle the issues raised. Therefore, I guess I should answer the other part of your question, “What are some specific examples of desktop management functionality that … can be done easily with a Group Policy extension?” That’s a mighty long list, and this is already getting too long – so I’ll follow up a little later.

The biggest problem with CounterSpy is that there ino proactive scanning. You end up having to schedule scans more frequently to get any kind of realtime scanning. Heck even Pest Patrol does this and it’s terrible at finding some spyware. Anyone in there right mind wouldn’t use Spybot or AdAware or even the MS antispyware in a enterprise network. WebRoot wins hands down. Too bad they weren’t. CounterSpy has a few plusses, but the fact that you can’t have realtime spyware scanning just kills it. WebRoot all the way!]]>Anonymous User Thu, 14 Apr 2005 11:27:13 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/antivirus/spyware-hunters#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/10-ways-to-manage-desktops-with-group-policy#commentsAnchorThu, 14 Apr 2005 07:14:16 GMT
Eric, None of our editorial articles are sponsored. We do talk to both Microsoft and other vendors regularly though. Both ScripLogic (Brian’s company) and DesktopStandard have made markets for themselves by providing functionality above and beyond what Group Policy can do out of the box. Since customers are paying for both of these products (as well as others), I think that’s clearly an indication that some users want more from Group Policy. That being said, our editorial purpose in posting the argument from Brian Styles is to start a discussion about Group Policy’s limitations. Your point about Group Policy extensions vs. ScriptLogic’s approach is a good one. Clearly, DesktopStandard solves many additional desktop management problems by extending Microsoft’s existing architecture. Brian obviously feels that Microsoft’s architecture isn’t flexible enough for his customers’ needs though. So, I pose this question to both Brian and Eric: What are some specific examples of desktop management functionality that either can’t be done using Group Policy extensions or can be done easily with a Group Policy extension? ]]>AdamThu, 14 Apr 2005 07:14:16 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/10-ways-to-manage-desktops-with-group-policy#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/10-ways-to-manage-desktops-with-group-policy#commentsAnchorFri, 08 Apr 2005 21:04:15 GMT
Whoever you are... You have a right to your opinion. However, given that the article appears to be sponsored by Brian’s company, and that his "comments" were fed in by the editors, it was more than appropriate to point out that the deficiencies in Group Policy that he raises are either non-existent or properly addressed by third party *Group Policy* plug-ins. Apparently Bob felt the same way.

Bob, Thanks for the plug. Clearly Group Policy is the most widely utilized desktop management technology system – and the beast feature of Active Directory. As far as I know the only scoping limitations are that machines must be Windows 2000 or later, and for central management they must be joined to AD. Everyone with an Active Directory network is already using Group Policy. Unfortunately some people miss out on the rich possibilities by focusing entirely on the extensions that are provided with Windows. That’s like complaining that IE can’t view a PDF file. Group Policy is an extensible architecture by design. The 11 extensions that ship with Windows XP include security settings, software deployment and more. However, when we introduced the first product based on this specification, a whole new world of true Group Policy was opened up. Our PolicyMaker suite includes a total of 23 extensions (e.g. printers, drive maps, patching, local users and groups management, power options, least privilege security, Outlook profiles, and much more), and each supports the full specification – including GPMC integration, backup and restore, planning and logging modes, delegation, and more. There are no servers or services to install, it all works inside the existing architecture. We implement a number of common features in our extensions, including drag-and-drop XML import/export, 25 categories of graphical per-setting filters (no limit to granularity), per-setting documentation, environment variable integration, extension-level delegation, and much more. Our customers find that Group Policy provides the ideal combination of flexibility, power, control, and operating system integration – a combination that cannot be found in scripting, script generators, or utility products.

I believe that GPOs (and DFS) are some of the most under utilized, most powerful options in AD. I have recently begun using a product which has made GPOs signicantly more powerful! Policymaker by Desktopstandard. I did look at some competing products which will go unnamed. If you have not looked at this product you should, as it includes a BUNCH of functionality that by definition, should have been included in the GPOs. Outlook settings, Word settings, pushing out printers, mapping drives etc. It has absolutely blown me away.

Of the five products tested only one is a major vendor in the field. While the product evaluations were interesting, I think the comparisons are flawed. One product was in beta testing while another product was based on an enterprise version that didn’t exist yet (DynaComm i:scan). Comparing mature products to unreleased products seems like an imbalanced test. Still, the testing procedures were sound and the information interesting. -Mauricem]]>Anonymous User Wed, 30 Mar 2005 12:29:19 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/antivirus/spyware-hunters#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/antivirus/spyware-hunters#commentsAnchorWed, 30 Mar 2005 12:06:56 GMT
A waste of my time to read. There is nothing in this article telling me what the PC was infected with, nor what was missed by each product.

Another point that should be included concerning Counterspy Enterprise is that the product does not support terminal services. The author makes no mention of it although it stands out like a sore thumb on their download page.

How about InterMute’s SpySubtract Enterprise. Easily the best as far as my testing goes. I believe when you do a bkaeoff you should test all of the products. It is easy to see why the Sunbelt product won this test as the other 4 tested are very weak.Does Sunbelt invest in your you company?

Hi, I came across thissite while i was looking out for a solution to my problem on Remote desktop sharing. I’m able to connect Remote Machine operating on Windows XP through my server (Windows 2000 Server). But if i try to connect to another machine running on windows 2000 professional or server i am getting an error. It says that the remote desktop sharing would not have been enabled on the machine or there could be some network problem. I have been looking out for a solution since this morning and in almost every site i see i find a solution for machines based on windows xp. ie right click my computer -> properties -> Remote and then enabled allow remote access. But in windows 2000 based Operating Systems we do not have this. Does this mean that we cannot access Windows 2000 based systems with Remote Desktop connections. Has any of you come across such a problem. If so what corrective measures did u take. It would be greatful if any of you could give your suggestions. You may mail me at ragesh_ks@yahoo.co.in Regards Ragesh]]>Anonymous User Wed, 30 Mar 2005 01:59:05 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/remote-computing/open-up-your-remote-connections#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/10-ways-to-manage-desktops-with-group-policy#commentsAnchorTue, 29 Mar 2005 21:24:17 GMT
Brian Styles of ScriptLogic also has some thoughts about Group Policy. He hopes to hear your thoughts and share more of his with this article. Brian’s comments: Policy based control over desktop settings are a great starting point to standardize and streamline the user’s environment. They employ the ability to make changes on multiple machines with a single administrative change. However, Group Policies are simply not enough for comprehensive desktop administration for two reasons: (1) limited scope of administrative ability and (2) limited granularity of distribution. The scope of administration Group Policies master are limited to OS- and (some) application-specific settings. Third party solutions are required to handle the multitude of other aspects that are required by the administrator to control the users environment. Like the administrative scope, granularity of policy distribution is also extremely limited in that you have only users, groups, computers and OUs to use to differentiate policy deployment. OUs and object types are only a few of the long list of methods you can use to categorize and identify users. It should come as no surprise to IT professionals that ScriptLogic would have an opinion on Group Policies given that ScriptLogic has made a business out of developing intuitive management solutions in the areas of desktop administration, Active Directory and Group Policy management. Now it’s your turn to give us your feedback. Share with us your experiences of using Group Policies to manage Windows clients and feel free to post your questions. We’ll be monitoring your feedback and posting replies. - Brian Styles]]>AdamTue, 29 Mar 2005 21:24:17 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/10-ways-to-manage-desktops-with-group-policy#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/configuration/etherpeek-4-0-1-for-windows#commentsAnchorThu, 24 Mar 2005 03:15:04 GMT

Hi all, I would like some precision about driver install, on which I could not find any clear hint on the internet. Does Sysprep.exe install all the drivers specified in te SysprepMassStorage section before rebooting and MiniSetup then just picks up the right one and delete the others when detecting the hardware ? Or does Sysprep just delete all installed drivers and Mini-Setup searches the sysprep.inf file for appropriate drivers for the installed hardware ? Thanks a lot for any hint...

It was mentioned in the article that you cannot schedule Defrag to run automatically on Windows2000. You can’t execute dfrgntfs.exe from a command prompt, you can’t use a batch file, and you can’t use the task scheduler to schedule the process. We did find a VBScript on the Internet however that will allow you to do this. To implement: 1. Copy the attached file to a location of your choosing. (since I could not attach the file, feel free to contact me and I’ll send you a copy (briand@kaplantrucking.com) 2. Rename the extension to ‘vbs’. 3. Open Task Scheduler and set up a new scheduled task to your liking to kick off this file. Basically it opens Disk Defragmenter and sends keys to the application. I altered the script to defrag the second drive on the list. This was necessary because when Dell made my computer they created it with a 55meg Unmounted, FAT volume. This volume appears first on the list of drives. If your computer is not configured the same way you will need to comment out that code from the script. The code is commented and finding it should not be a problem. ]]>briand@kaplantrucking.com Thu, 02 Dec 2004 03:43:46 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/don-t-nag-just-do-it#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/don-t-nag-just-do-it#commentsAnchorWed, 01 Dec 2004 12:37:38 GMT
As a workaround for the "Compress old files" problem, use the registry editor to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files then do one of the following: a) delete the key in its entirety; or b) invalidate the GUID in the "(Default Value)" key by adding the word "Disabled: " in front of it (or any other word that makes sense to you). If for some reason you don’t want to use .reg files to delete/re-add the key, this allows you to quickly enable/disable the option, without the risk of losing the GUID. As always, don’t forget to backup your registry, or at least that key, before you make changes.]]>RobinWed, 01 Dec 2004 12:37:38 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/don-t-nag-just-do-it#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/group-policy-management-tools44102#commentsAnchorSun, 28 Nov 2004 05:48:52 GMT

I must agree that there is a lot more out there before i would feel i have a secure Terminal services / remote desktop connections. At a minimum i would have expected a mention of changing the default port in key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\"PORT > 3389" and the security policy computer configuration > windows settings>security settings > local policies > security options > "Interactive logon: do not display last user name" If you don’t disable this any happy passer connecting to RDP will have half the entrance key to your system as your ar happely giving it to him.

You forgot the last part of the process: how this updated version of Office gets onto users’ computers. The answer is that each user whose PC was installed from the administrative installation point needs to perform what Microsoft calls a "recache reinstall". It’s not as bad as it sounds; it’s just this command line: Msiexec msifile REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb+ If you have an application deployment tool (like Novell ZENworks or Microsoft SMS), you can push this command to PCs with that version of Office. In answer to woodruffmj, my understanding is that a recache reinstall does not need a Windows Administrator. And one last note: Office System 2003 offers a completely new alternative for installations: local caching. If you use this feature (and it’s on by default), then you don’t use a traditional patched administrative installation point; your users use OfficeUpdate (what Microsoft calls "client patches") instead.]]>SandeMon, 13 Sep 2004 11:23:09 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/administration-tools2/keeping-office-current#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/administration-tools2/keeping-office-current#commentsAnchorThu, 02 Sep 2004 09:52:07 GMT

MSKB 837642 describes why automating Cleanmgr doesn’t work with Windows Server 2003. According to Microsoft, it’s because sageset doesn’t create the needed registry values. I’ve tried manually creating the StateFlagsxxxx registry values, and that seems to work OK. You can also contact Microsoft for the specific hotfix that’s supposed to fix this. Hopefully it will be addressed in SP1. By the way, I’ve often found in WinXP/2003 that cleanmgr does not purge files in the Recycle Bin if they’re owned by a different user than the account underwhich cleanmgr was run.]]>MICHAELSat, 21 Aug 2004 17:25:50 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/don-t-nag-just-do-it#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/user-management-and-profiles/managing-user-profiles#commentsAnchorMon, 02 Aug 2004 12:36:46 GMT

Works great!!!]]>Sys Admin Thu, 01 Jul 2004 12:43:56 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-systems/quota-management-tools#commentsAnchorFri, 18 Jun 2004 01:53:11 GMT
Is it really have Quota advisor install in Windows Server 2003?]]>jimFri, 18 Jun 2004 01:53:11 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-systems/quota-management-tools#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorTue, 15 Jun 2004 13:03:30 GMT
Did anyone find a solution for this. We also want to use Remote Assistance, and it seems to be working on some systems but not others. I’m pushing the change out using a company-wide GPO, so it should work for everyone. I’m baffled.]]>Paul Steele Tue, 15 Jun 2004 13:03:30 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorMon, 14 Jun 2004 13:22:35 GMT
I finally found the solution after weeks for the error in the topic starter. With an un-solicited you first need to start the sessmgr.exe. You can do this by settings the services "Remote Desktop Help Session Manager" to Automatic. And if you would like to keep your existing logon session, please start it manually after changing the Startup Type. Wooo Haaa!

This is a question for desktop redirection: What happens when a user is a member of Group A and Group B but you only want the user to receive desktop settings for Group A?]]>Brian Hart Wed, 09 Jun 2004 23:51:49 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/user-management-and-profiles/using-intellimirror-to-manage-user-data-and-settings#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-systems/geographically-distributed-clustering#commentsAnchorWed, 09 Jun 2004 19:16:18 GMT
I agree with John Toner. Even though your article is helpful and informative it’s really about replication tools that leverage mscs. When I look for information about geography distributed clusters I’m looking for shared disk scenarios over long distances (active active or active passive). If you have any information or know how on this type of implementation please share it with us.]]>Rafael Cruz Wed, 09 Jun 2004 19:16:18 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-systems/geographically-distributed-clustering#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/don-t-nag-just-do-it#commentsAnchorThu, 03 Jun 2004 10:40:57 GMT
You mention little about the File Compression utility except in today’s market it’s really not needed. This is so true. The process, however, takes too long to complete to where I cancel it instead. Is there a way to turn off scanning for files avail for compression?]]>markThu, 03 Jun 2004 10:40:57 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/file-management/don-t-nag-just-do-it#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorWed, 02 Jun 2004 17:00:42 GMT
The reason why you guys get this error message is that group policy has to be applied to the TARGET machine not to the computer that you are trying to send "Remote Assistance" request from. If you set "Offer Remote Assistance" (Solicited Remote Assistance can be left alone) to "enable" in Group Policy of TARGET computer it will work just fine. Don’t forget to close and open again "Offer Remote Assistance" Wizard in Help and Support Center after you have made changes to group policy, otherwise it’s not going to work.]]>PortnoyWed, 02 Jun 2004 17:00:42 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorThu, 27 May 2004 07:44:50 GMT
Same error here. No solution yet. I’m trying this feature for weeks now. I’ve created a hugh document on this issue, read every newsgroup post, forums, kb, technet, google, etc... No answer. I do know that Service Pack 2 will change some structure to RA, but I doubt the above problem gets a adequate solution.]]>MindfluXThu, 27 May 2004 07:44:50 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorWed, 26 May 2004 10:49:16 GMT
Miriam and Jim, Did you use Group Policy to configure Remote Assistance? The article states "The Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Remote Assistance\Offer Remote Assistance setting presents functionality that’s available only through Group Policy". You can use Local Policy to configure this if you aren’t using company-wide Group Policy.]]>Ed Roth Wed, 26 May 2004 10:49:16 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/group-policy/remote-assistance-in-the-corporation#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/storage-management/disk-imaging-solutions#commentsAnchorWed, 26 May 2004 09:10:51 GMT
