Firewall Controlled By Group Policy
Nov 14, 2006
I have a home machine, running XP PRO, SP2. I am attempting to set up a small home network for the files transfer wizard and for internet usage. Internet usage was a snap, but I am having issues transferring my old files due to the Windows Firewall being controlled by a Group Policy. I have tried running gpedit and it is not recognized. I have no group policies that I have ever installed, and this is the first time that an ethernet card has ever been installed on this machine. Again, until now, I have not ever even heard of a group policy, let alone created one. It's driving me batty. I have searched all over for a solution, including Microsoft, but to no avail. Can anyone please help me?

I still cant get it to work. Do you have anymore Ideas. NOTE: in the
Enviormental Variables there was no PATH string. Only a PATHEXT one. I did
not touch this one. I added a PATH string with the following line
%SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%system32WBEM which I believe
is correct. Still no MMC or Group policy editor.
The MMC still gives me the same error. I still cant get into the group policy editor or MMC. I tried yours and wesleys Ideas.

I have a problem when using AD, when I go to edit the default group policy it pops up a box telling me....
"
the following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has been truncated
"
There is then a load of texted underneath that relates to the specific string. When you hit the OK button another one appeares and they just keep coming

My company has implemented a group policy that locks Windows after 15 minutes of inactivity. However, i have a system that I only use for monitoriing and I hate having to continue to unlock it. Does anyone know of a way to have a phantom task take place that makes the system think its not idle?

I am trying to link to a printer in my home network, but I do not have access rights to the host computer. I have tried turning off the firewall, editing the registry using "DiableGPO", and various other unsuccessful attempts. The machine I am trying to connect from is a laptop using Windows Vista, and the host computer is a Gateway desktop with Windows XP SP2. The "gpedit.msc" file is not found on the host computer.

On WinXP Pro I can access "gpedit.msc" to change the QoS bandwidth to speed up my DSL connection. Unfortunately gpedit is not available on WinXP Home. Is there a way to change it through the registry?

Windows XP Pro has a great program called Group Policy Editor that allows system administrators to modify the settings to a great number of windows features. TO start the program up follow the directions below. 1. Open the start menu and click Run2. Type gpedit.msc3. The Group Policy MMC appears4. Click through the different nodes of the tree to see all the hidden features of Windows XP that you can edit without touching the registry.Examples: Changing IE displays

I have Windows XP Pro, SP2.
In Windows 98 I knew the name of the file that was the Policy Editor but I've searched and thought and I can't come up with the name of the file that is the Policy Editor or Group Policy Editor in XP. I know there is one because in Tweak UI, you can go into About>Policy>Run Group Policy Editor. And it runs.

I am using eTRust EZ firewall and just recently started having problems with it and the effect on my pc. First, it wouldn't let me select allow or ask under the access internet or trusted column under the program control. Now, it won't let me access the internet if the program control is turned to low, medium, or high. The only way for anything to get to the internet is if the setting is turned off

I cant find any information on how to to do this but I really thought it was possible. I want to place a link on my EUs desktop to a shared folder on a server. I though it was possible through group policy but I cant seem to figure out where the setting is. So, is it possible to do this through a GPO or any other way to do it without going through all the EU PCs and doing it manually.

All of a sudden I can not download any programs, music files etc. I just get the above message in my Mozilla Firefox download screen. The same thing happened when I tried Internet Explorer.
I am running Windows XP and using Firefox 3.0.1. The problem is that Download blocked by Security Zone Policy, I have gone into the Internet section of control panel and reduced the zone protection to the minimum. I have turned the firewall in McAfee off. These actions did not have any effect. I am not aware of any other program on my computer that would cause this to happen. I use Sypware Doctor, but I disabled that also. My computer is set to load Windows updates automatically and that would be the only software updated I might have loaded.

I am a local administrator on two computers on a domain. I have compared all the terminal services local policy line by line on both computers and also RSOP.MSC on both computers are exactly the same. I checked all the areas in the registry for fDenyTSConnections and they are all set too. One computer gives me: The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively.

Is there documentation somewhere that will tell you what you cannot do on a WinXP Pro PC if you don't have Administrative access / logon (a member of the local dministrators group)?
I know there are numerous things you cannot do, but I would
really like to see a list of the restrictions.

I noticed that i'm missing nearly all tabs on properties, only general and summary tabs are visible. So at least security and compatibility tabs are missing and i need them. I noticed that when i go to Local security policy settings on Control panel>Administrative tools i get this error: and i think these problems are connected. So i need to fix that error and get the properties window working right again. Im administrator and running XP pro SP2.

This will most likely be a "here we go again" type of thread, but I have not found any newer developments on this.Have a Dell Lattitude D610 laptop, running Xp Pro, SP2. Recently, I inadvertantly changed the net settings to workgroup, to set up a home network. Once this was done, I can not log on to the machine.History: this is a work laptop, however, the HD is mine (had viruses, so the company gave me a new HD). The two HD's were both from a master image Obviously, I could send the HD back to the techies at work, however, this is a 5 year old HD that we are talking about.I tried ophcrack to get the admin password, but none was found. There was a guest account, with no password, but it would not work.

I have 2 machines running XP Prof SP3. One of the machine (a Dell 1520 Laptop) was factory loaded with XP SP2 and then upgraded to SP3, the 2nd (a Lenovo Y510 Laptop) was freshly loaded with XP SP3 (slipstreamed).Both machines periodically show DCOM errors in the event viewer indicating the the user "NT Authority/Network Service" does not have sufficient launch/activiation privileges for a component service. I have followed numerous threads (some KB's directly from MS too) showing how to locate the specific service, add the user (if necessary), and enable the local/remote permissions.The problem I have on both these XP SP3 machines is that there is no user group object for "Network Service" so I can't add it under the add permissions screen. In the advanced screens I see several options that interestingly include these separate choices (amoung others):Has XP SP3 redefined these internal users, and are there any new solutions/workarounds for XP SP3?

I would like the Group similar taskbar buttons option only to apply to IE, but have a seperate button for each open word document. Is this possible? Also, how do I completely disable the add new hardware wizard. It
always pops up when I turn on my computer and tries to install a driver for my printer. None of the many methods and "workarounds" described online did anything to stop it.I have no desire at all for this feature, I can install drivers myself,and want to completely disable it.

I have a client that had a home network setup with a domain.He has recently taken all the workstations off the domain and has switched them all over to a workgroup.On one of the workstations he can no longer log into windows with his normal admin username/password.There is nothing in the options drop down that will allow him to log onto the local machine either. How would changing a workstation from Domain to Workgroup have caused this problem?Im not sure what to tell my client other than reformatting and reloading XP as he cannot get into Windows at all.
