How to apply Domain Group Policy to linked clones

**Parnell** · 23-10-2011

If you have an image that is not in the domain, and is assigned to the pool then this happens:

Start
Quick Prep
Machine rebooted and is in the domain
The machine is obtainable
User logs

Domain Group Policy machine was not at all applied for the reason that once you log off the machine will make an update or restore or whatever. So how ever apply computer policy?

You could generate a simple script to restart the machine and put it in a known place within the template.

Code:

Shutdown / r / f / t 30
Save as "C: \ Scripts \ Reboot.bat"

Then make use of the post-customization section of the configuration of the reference group of the script (type C: \ Scripts \ Reboot.bat). Thus, after any procedure of customizing the script is called, the virtual machine restarts and applies the Group Policy. Give me a shout if you have any query.

By the time I twisted a batch file (active configuration) to run when each client logs. We run the gpupdate / force. This pulls down all the objects GP, where the machine, which is significant for the cause that individual GP may desire to apply for the user (perceptibly).

You might have spinning machines, and a user logs in, all before the domain group policy has time to hit the machine (90 minutes or less 30, which windows me is not superior)

Scope of Group Policy is supposed to be applicable because the machine joins the domain provisions. The trouble was that the ESX server time was 4 hours behind the domain. When a new machine broke through VMTools was configured to use the ESX clock, so that the domain was initially rejecting the client (non-application of Group Policy).

When the machine was in the domain, the customer service's time was in tune with the domain. So at first it was the application of the domain. After setting the clock on ESX the right time, spinning machines and be "available" in the view with the Domain Group Policy that.

We come across comparable troubles with the redirection policy profile and some others. The declaration was to set up a local policy in the golden PC Config>> Administrative Templates>> Login>> Always wait for network at computer startup and logon. Enabling this policy of waiting for the group policy to update before the user connects to the machine.
