[Samba] Win7 vs. Win10 GPO Editing

[Kacper Wirski]

Hi,

My guess is this:

RSAT reads policy definitions either from central store (first) or from 
local (if first not found). It might be the case, that one of the 
policies templates was changed between windows 7 and windows 10 and now 
windows 7 runs into errors. Your error shows that it's trying to look 
for policy definition in the local store (c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions).

You can google for "central store for policy definitions" and You should 
come up with tons of how-to's and specific guidelines. The basic concept 
is this:

You create on Your DC inside SYSVOL PolicyDefinitions folder like in 
this example: 
\\contoso.com\SYSVOL\contoso.com\policies\*PolicyDefinitions* There You 
copy most current version of policy definitions (e.g. from Your windows 
10 client local store or just download latest from microsoft resources). 
Your windows RSAT client should then read policy definitions from this 
central store and this way it won't matter much which client starts GPO 
management, because all policy definitions will be consistent.

Central Store is also especially useful when You add non-microsoft 
policy templates like e.g. google chrome GPO's.

Hope that helps with Your issue!
