Why make GPOs when you can shove everything you need into the Default Domain Policy?

Super Soaker Party! posted:No? Here's a primer: This is loving awful, lord. Like there are some difficult/odd things in GPO (and in AD somewhat) that aren't immediately obvious and will require a little googling or trial and error testing to figure out how it works. Some GPOs don't apply how you think they will (based on the info MS gives you in the GPO blurb it seems like it will do A but instead it does B), but christ, this is like basic poo poo they are loving up.

And the worst part about it is that every single number in that list is either something I've seen from personal experience fixing other people's massive fuckups or in these threads. I.e. 100% true story. So that should give you some warm fuzzy feelings, and by warm fuzzy feelings I mean this is why we drink. edit: #4 happened to me literally 3 months ago. It was...you know that sinking feeling you get when you fall off a rollercoaster? Yeah kind of like that, oh and the rollercoaster is running Windows 2000.

Dick Trauma posted:Guess what I found here when I first started digging into the GPOs? I think it's actually somewhat worse to open it for the first time and find there are 50 GPOs, all active, with aggressively conflicting policies. You never know which GPO is load-bearing in this stack of cards, good luck unfucking it without destroying every workstation!

Running a ton of automated result-of-policy commands to tease out the winning set of GPOs for each user group, then set up a new set of GPOs in a test OU, add a VM or two there to test stuff with, then migrate everyone to the new OU overnight and pray to god you did your testing right?

I wish there was a way to organize GPO's without also changing their scope.

One of these days I'm gonna figure out a way to automatically analyze GPOs, RSOP everything, and then come up with a suggestion on how to consolidate everything. I'm gonna market it as GPO Unfucker, profanity and all, and make millions. Enterprise GPO Unfucker license for $100 Enterprise GPO Unscrewer license for $1000 + $10 per object Both products will be identical with the exception of the name and price.

Are you in charge of the new thread project? Dave laid down a few requirements from el Jefe himself. 1. The new thread needs to be where the old thread was, just move the old thread and put the new one there. I can tell you right now, he's not gonna budge on this one 2. Can we do this in Sharepoint? If not, can we get all the Sharepoint Admins added to the OP list of this thread? 3. I don't think he even cares about this one, he just won't give a list with less than 3 items, but "can it be blue?"

I heard sales promise a customer that the new thread will have six superstar stories and twenty YOTJs in less than six months. This would make for a really good thread that will beat our competition, so please include your best posters to meet this goal or we'll miss our bonus.

You guys, throw out everything you've said so far, it's all nonsense. My neighbor's cousin's son does project management and ran some internet forums for a while. I've already talked to the COO and he's going to talk to the board about bringing him in to run this. Dick you'll need to move out of your office ASAP in case this kid gets hired so he has a place to sit. You can either use the broom closet or sit at the receptionist's desk while she's on break. Also, my printer doesn't work, it says something about out of paper, but I'm not good with computers, can you come fix it? e: Oh he posted on some internet forums, he didn't run them. But he's getting his MBA so we should hire him anyway because he knows about Business Aunt Beth fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Dec 28, 2017 |

I've never made an OP on this forum but I moderated a forum fifteen years ago, had about 10 users. Shouldn't be that different and I think I can google everything I need. I've got 10 minutes available at 4:50 on Friday, should we save money and just do this thing in-house? ----------------------- RE: FWD: FWD: CC: Everyone, CEO, HR, President, Barack Obama, Lead Sales Rep of Competing Company Jaded Burnout posted:RE: FWD: Me too
