Today I created a user policy in an OU where Loopback Processing was applied and where Security Filtering was set to my account to test the policy. The policy didn’t show up in the RSOP data (gpresult /h report1.html) and the policy was not getting applied. Solution: Give the Domain Computers (or the group with the computer accounts from the OU) permission to read the GPO. Because of Loopback Processing, the computer account will be used to read the GPO, instead of the user account. You can still give the Domain Computers permission to read the GPO only, and add a user or group to the Security Filtering section to make sure that the GPO will be applied to that group or users. Cheers!

In my previous post PowerShell Profiles - The profile.ps1 file I showed you my profile.ps1 file. In this post, I’ll show you a way to structure your base file, so that you can use it for your functions and aliases. Make sure that you always use max 2 files. The first file is your profile.ps1 file and the other file is this _PSH_BASE.ps1 file. If you use like 3 or 4 files, it can take a couple of seconds to load your PowerShell session. ...

Welcome to this blog series about PowerShell profiles. I’m using PowerShell profiles for a couple of months now to make life a lot easier. To start this blog series, I would like to show you my Profile.ps1 file. It’s located in “C:\Users\\Documents\WindowsPowerShell”. Because I use my PowerShell profiles at multiple locations such as my work notebook, home computer and sometimes at projects, I need to make sure that my PowerShell script home is always right so that the rest of the PowerShell profile is able to load successfully. ...

**Microsoft heeft tijdens het Microsoft Ignite evenement een nieuwe feature van Windows 10 getoond, genaamd Continuum.

I had a small issue with my Remote Desktop Services Lab environment. I wanted to add a by my PKI infrastructure signed certificate to the Remote Desktop Roles. I created a certificate template like in this post. When I was importing the certificates into the wizard, the certificate looks fine because the state after selecting the certificate says “Success”. When you reopen the screen afterwards, it was like no certificate has been selected. I was able to see the certificate in my browser, so the selection was successful. I wasn’t able to find out what was the problem on the internet, but I fixed it to change the certificate template. ...

I have an Intel NUC with 8 GB as media center and Hyper-V host for a test domain controller. I attached 2 physical external disks (1x 2,5" USB 3, 1x 3,5" USB 2) and created a storage pool. A couple of weeks later, I bought a new 2,5" USB 3 disk with 1 TB to replace the older USB 2.0 disk. That disk is a lot quieter than the older one. ...

I updated my Dell Latitude E6540 BIOS to A10 today. After updating, the screen stays black after rebooting. If you reboot your PC, your resolution has changed and the drivers are not working anymore. Opening the AMD Catalyst Control Center gives the error “AMD drivers are not functioning properly”. Solution: go to the Dell website. Click the Support page and type your Service Tag. Download the newest AMD and Intel graphics drivers. I installed the AMD driver after installing the Intel driver. You don’t have to delete the old driver. Reboot after installing the 2 drivers. Your notebook should work as before.
