Save Password related settings removed from GPP and Tasks

Hi,

Security, Security...

I found now that Microsoft found that saving passwords is risky and removed this feature from the settings.

The direct affected settings are:

• GPP Drive Maps
• GPP Local Users and Groups
• GPP Scheduled Tasks
• GPP Services
• GPP Data Sources
• Scheduled Tasks

No words...

The possible solutions are:

1. workaround the issue with scripts
2. Uninstall the update KB2928120 or /and KB2961899

Enjoy the uninstall...

Unable to browse to \\tsclient\c path

Hi,

I tried to browse the \\tsclient\c path when connected via RDP with drive mapping in the client

I could not find the mapping, after a lot of searched it seems that the client had NoDrives restriction and if your drives are hidden you would not get mapped via RDP.

Link to microsoft page on registry restrictions

Link for GPO settings

All settings can be on user based (Registry - HKCU, GPO - User Configuration)

Link on how to tweak the GPO for different drives

Hope it helps...

UnLink GPO script

Hi,

All I wanted is to UnLink a GPO from an OU using a script, not a lot to ask google.
It seems that no one ever need to UnLink a GPO, only delete or link.
So I took the original DeleteGPO.wsf from the GPMC scripts directory and changed it a bit so it would not delete but only unlink the gpo.

Copy the content of the  frame to get the wsf script.



Also published it on my GoogleDocs due to the vbs.

Save it as UnLinkGPO.wsf into "C:\program files\gpmc\scripts" and you have an unlink gpo script.

The real place to use IE trusted sites via GPO

Hi,

Trusted sites in IE via GPO is a mess, there are several places to insert this settings and the main problem is that they will not work on all versions.

I have the perfect place to use it and I tested it with ver 6,7 and 8 and it worked.

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Internet Control Panel -> Security Page: Site to Zone Assignment List

Enjoy.
