RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Custom .ADM (Code Included)

Really... Hmm. Printers are generally profile specific, and the issue you're having sounds like it is user specific. Are you seeing the GPO get applied (verifying the registry settings) but they aren't working, or is the registry not being changed at all?

 

As far as permissions, I believe GPO's are applied as localsystem - so there shouldn't be a perms problem.

 

Not 100% sure what to tell you - other than verify the registry is actually being changed.

Unfortunately not in this case Roger :-(

 

Although, I do appreciate the advice.  This particular printer is automatically created from an installer, which in turn creates the printer object underneath the HKLM hive.  This allows for every user that logs into the workstation to have the printer automatically created, but unfortunately there is a bug causing the properties of the printer object to point to the %USERPROFILE%\Temp folder of the user that installed the client.  Hence, insufficient rights when the user attempts to print to the printer object, which is why I'm trying to design the GPO to change the value in the registry to point to a folder all users have rights to (C:\temp).

 

Would this inconsistency prevent the .ADM from functioning properly?

Printers are per-User configurations, not per system wide in general. Try this as a CLASS USER

In the process of building a custom .ADM file for controlling specific registry keys.  The problem I am having is that it does not seem to be modifying the key when the GPO is applied/enforced.  I've been pulling my hair out all morning I can't seem to see any reason why this would be happening and I was hoping someone would be kind enough to enlighten me :-)

 

Maybe there is a permissions issue with GPO in the subkey I am trying to modify?  I don't know...

 

TIA!
