User Config \ Windows Settings Missing Extensions

Al

I'm running XP Pro SP1.
I installed the 2003 Server Adminpak.
I installed GPMC.
Under User Config \ Windows Settings I only see Remote
Installation Services.
I am missing Folder Redirection, Security Settings and
Scripts.
I can see the missing extensions from a coworker's
workstation but not mine.

Can anyone help with this? How can I correct this?
 
If your co-worker logs onto your machine can he see everything on the same
policy?

If you uninstall GPMC from your workstation and view the Group Policy using
dsa.msc from your workstation can you see everything?
 
Okay, my co-worker logged in and he also cannot see the
missing extensions.
I uninstalled GPMC and used DSA with the same results
(extensions missing).

Any ideas? Thanks David!
 
Open GPMC.msc on your co-worker's machine and right click the domain, select
Change Domain Controller and verify the "Current domain controller" listed
is the PDC Emulator. If it is a different DC, reinstall GPMC on your
workstation and focus GPMC on the same DC. Verify the extensions are
present. If they are all there then check the FRS event log on the PDC
Emulator and its inbound replication partner and see if it is getting
errors.
 
Okay, I verified the DC via my co-workers GPMC and it is
the PDC Emulator.
I reinstalled GPMC on my box and verified that it is
using the same DC.
I still cannot see the Extensions.
I only have delegated rights to our OU and not the DC so
I don't have direct access to the FRS event log. If you
think that is my next step, I can try requesting an
export of the log. Hopefully our domain admins will help.
Should I ask for it or focus on something else?

Thanks again.
 
So far it sounds like it is isolated to your workstation.

You stated you can see the extensions from your co-worker's machine. When
you do this I'm under the assumption you are logging him off and then
logging on with your own credentials.

If you go to any other machine do you have this problem? I was able to hide
these by adding a Restrict_Run value to some extensions in my registry.
Open the registry on your machine and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft. See if you have a "mmc" key
defined with the following subkeys:

{88E729D6-BDC1-11D1-BD2A-00C04FB9603F}
{803E14A0-B4FB-11D0-A0D0-00A0C90F574B}
{FC715823-C5FB-11D1-9EEF-00A0C90347FF}
{40B66650-4972-11D1-A7CA-0000F87571E3}

If these CLSIDs are listed and a Restrict_Run REG_DWORD value is set to 1
then these have been disabled in your profile.

If this restriction does not follow your user account to other machines, and
users who are not restricted on their machine get restricted on your machine
you might check gpresult output to see if this is being applied to your
computer. Otherwise, see if these entries were placed into the ntuser.dat
of the Default User profile.
 
Here is an article discussing what CLSID belongs to which extension.

The problem is on my machine and yes I logged on to my co-
worker's machine and was able to view the extensions.
Under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft
I do not see a key for MMC (neither does co-worker box)
I searched the whole registry for "restrict_run" with no
hits.
I also searched the extension strings that I am missing
and do get hits but none have restrict values set.
I ran gpresult from mine and my co-workers machines,
compared the results and they all match up.
I don't know how to view the contents of the default user-
ntuser.dat file, but in searching the registry I didn't
see any restrictions.
If there is a way I can view the contents of the Dat file
I'd be willing to try it. Anything else I can try?
Thanks
 
Hi Al,

Before trying to load ntuser.dat from the default user profile you might
want to check permissions on the following registry keys let's see if there
is a system-wide setting that might be causing this.

If you are a member of a particular Global Group in the domain that has
Delegated rights find out if that groups is listed in the Administrators
group (or some other local admin type group) of your co-workers machine but
not listed on yours.

I altered Permissions on the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{803E14A0-B4FB-11D0-A0D0-00A0C90F574B} (Security
Settings) key and it did not display in the snap-in.

If your delegated group is listed in the correct local group, verify
permissions on both keys for each extension are the same and that you have
Full Control to these:

NOTE: The keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) should have the "Allow
inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" checked and
the following permissions assigned, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) will inherit
its permissions from HKLM as long as HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT has "Allow
inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" checked.

Administrators = Full
Authenticated Users = Read
Creator Owner = Not Defined
Everyone = Read
Server Operators = Read
System = Full

Verify HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT has "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to
propagate to this object" checked.

make sure to select the Advanced Security option of "Replace permission

Hi David,

My registry didn't match yours in that I didn't see the
CLSID key under either of the paths you mentioned. I
built myself a new workstation and it's working there, so
I gave up and re-imaged the "bad" workstation.

I do appreciate your efforts though! I just couldn't
spend more time on it.

Thanks again.

Glad to help.

A rebuild is probably the best thing. If you did not have a CLSID then
these errors were probably just the beginning of things to come.

Just as a test I deleted
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{803E14A0-B4FB-11D0-A0D0-00A0C90F574B}and
Security Settings were not present in group policies. This would apply to
all users logging onto the system.

It happened recently with my systems and the quick fix was to re-register
the .dlls responsible for those extensions, i.e.

regsvr32 wsecedit.dll gptext.dll fde.dll appmgr.dll

BTW, re-registering appmgr.dll removed the huge hole in the
Add/RemovePrograms list.
