LocalGPO support for W2012R2

General discussion

We use LocalGPO to configure our servers and it is great tool. We just tried to use it on W2012R2 and got an error message that said it was only supportd on WXP, W2003, Vista, W2008, W7, W2008R2, W8, W8 Server (Which I assume is W2012 because we are using it on W2012). In any case it won't run on W2012R2. Anyone know if this is going to be supported. I am assuming that MS will update SCM since that is where all the Security guides are now but will LocalGPO also be updated? Thanks.

Hi,

It seems like that there is no localGPO for Windows 2012 yet.

Here is a similar thread:

In addition, the below forum should be the right place for this issue:

We found a spot in the script where it checked for version and simply changed it to bypass the check. Then it worked fine. The W2012 Local GPO applied to W2012R2 just fine. I still would like to know if there will be an update to SCM 3.0 to add new templates for W2012R2. I would like to compare my current GPO to the MS recommended baseline for W2012R2 but the original question is no longer an issue.

Or you can make the OS check work by replacing (line 422):

If(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType <> "1") then
strOS = "WS12"

With
If(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2" or (Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3")) and (strProductType <> "1") then
strOS = "WS12"

More simply, you can comment out the call to "ChkOSVersion"

' Call ChkOSVersion

Just add ' to the top of line 278 and good to go.

I am working on a windows 2012 r2 system and changed the Call ChkOSVersion in the script.

It works but does NOT apply all settings like the Security Options.

Now i know why its not supported because it doesnt work a 100%
