Server 2012 DC + Server 2012 on the client side.

I have the following group policy in place:

The policy is applied when I run gpresult /r /scope computer:

Yet the drive does not show up. Also the LOG file is not generated per the "Configure Drive Maps preference logging and tracing".

Where else can I look?

  • You may want to include the output of gpresult that shows the policies applied/filtered for the User (not the Computer). – Greg Askew Jan 25 '16 at 15:45
  • It says it's "Filtering: Denied (Security)". I have set the WMI filter to just that specific computer I need. Could that be the reason? – JustAGuy Jan 25 '16 at 16:21
  • Oh man... I really should have seen that one coming... – JustAGuy Jan 25 '16 at 16:23
  • Filtering: Denied (Security) - If the user account does not have permission to read/apply the GPO, that would be the cause. – Greg Askew Jan 25 '16 at 16:23
  • @GregAskew That was it all along! You can post an answer and I'll mark it. – JustAGuy Jan 25 '16 at 16:23
  • But wait...that doesnt necessarily let me limit the GPO to just one computer. As far as I can see it means I must create a seperate OU just for this computer. am I right? – JustAGuy Jan 25 '16 at 16:26
  • It's a User policy, so the security filtering should be applied to the User account(s)/group(s) in scope. – Greg Askew Jan 25 '16 at 16:28

User account needs to have permission to read/apply the policy.

Did you make sure the policy is applied to the OU/Scope? I assume the user had logged off and back in?

You might also want to run rsop.msc on the workstation to see what is applied

I had WMI limited this policy to just the Computer I wanted.

Once I changed the WMI to "Authenticated Users" everything worked great. I might as well add that ALL Computers in that OU were affected by this policy as a result. So I took the Computer I wanted the policy to apply on and created an OU just for it. Then applied the policy and voila.

Credits to Greg who sent me in the right path.
