Group Policy

Group policy on windows controls windows settings for the domain.

It's used for the following

  • Determing logon rights for pc's hooked into the shopbot and laser cutter
  • setting registry keys for certains fotware licenses
  • disabling power saveing

Basic Troubleshooting

If you notice something wrong, the following command will 

   gpupdate
   gpupdate /force
   gpupdate /force /sync

Time desync

If the computer's time is desynchronized from AD: 

   net time /domain /set /y

and try gpupdate again

Garbage in sysvol

I don't know if this actually fixed anything, but try running the following commands as root on the Domain Controller 

   samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --reset-well-known-acls --fix
   samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset
   samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix
