Hi Guys.

At work, i have a situation where....

The 'run command' box in the 'start menu' has been disabled using group policy. But one user has the run command on the start list. How is this possible? They are not part of any administrator group and only have access to the programs list and nothing else.

Cheers!

Perhaps the policy is not being applied correctly to their account?

Open up a command prompt on the users PC, type in gpresult and hit enter.

Check that they're in the correct policy groups. If they're not then go into AD and reassign them.

If all that fails, then delete the user's profile from the local machine. Restart. Then pull down a new copy from the server by logging on as them.

cheers.

I deleted the profile and it worked.

Hi,

Did you try forcing the policy to update on the workstation using GPUPDATE /FORCE in the run command?

This would have been my first thought also.

Glad you got it sorted though.

 

Gpupdate is one of best friends along with Run As and .old

 

Ah "Run As" a personal favorite of mine, especially when using remote assistance

 

Remember also that if the user is very savvy, he can normally use reg files (run regedit /s filename.reg from the command line) to change back the settings in group policy. Most people won't know to do this but it's something to consider.

 

Would of done that first.
