Things that break group policy
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 trigger a group policy update, and may display information about what went wrong.
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
