A false value zero [0] instructs the extension to discontinue further processing of all Drive inner elements while a true value one [1] instructs the extension to ignore the unsuccessful result and continue processing additional Drive inner elements.
The extension then moves its focus to the next Drive inner element and the process repeats until the XML file reaches the Drives closing outer element. The following figures correlate which components of the user interface control or shows the various elements and attributes in the XML file.
Group Policy client side extensions enable Group Policy to process a variety of different tasks because each client side extension is responsible for processing its portion of data stored in a Group Policy object. The Group Policy Drive Maps client side extension is one of many extensions included in the gpprefcl. Therefore, the implementation of each Group Policy client side extension may be different.
The goal of this extension is to manage drive letters associated with network specific shared folders and visibility properties of driver letters remotely mapped drives or physical. The extension comes registered on the Windows operating system by virtue of CSE specific metadata stored in the following registry location. The information stored in this location is consistent on all computers.
Therefore, restoring the information on a computer where it is missing is relatively easy using the export and import feature of the Registry editor. The Group Policy service invokes this client side extension when it encounters a Group Policy object configured with Group Policy Drive maps. When activated, the extension must locate its configuration file. When Group Policy invokes the client side extension, it provides to the extension information that enables it to process its portion of Group Policy.
This information includes operational information that describes the current processing context such as if the processing is background or foreground, is the processing occurring over a slow link, or is the processing for the computer rather than the user.
Also included in this information is a list of the Group Policy objects that were removed from the scope of application and the list of Group Policy objects that were changed.
Each entry in the list of Group Policy objects provides to the client side extension provides information about the Group Policy object in question. Client side extensions use the options field to determine if the Group Policy object is disabled or if the Group Policy object is. The Group Policy object version number increments with saved changes to the computer and user portions of a GPO, respectively.
Client side extensions can use the version number to determine if any changes were made to the computer or user portion of a GPO.
Remember, the common name of a GPO is its unique identifier; not its display name. The file system path provides the root location of the files associated with the Group Policy object. These collection of files typically are used by one or more client side extensions as the data store for group policy settings. The link type field provides information about the container to which the GPO is linked such as computer, site, domain, or organizational unit. The extension field provides a list of the extensions that are configured in the Group Policy object.
The display name is the name of the GPO that is displayed in user interfaces and reporting tools. The out-of-scope list contains a list of GPOs that applied to the user or computer on the last application of Group Policy but no longer apply on this application of Group Policy.
The list of changed list contains a list of GPOs that include changes for one or more aspects of the Group Policy object. The extension reads the operational information to understand what type of Group Policy processing Windows is performing: user or computer. How the processing is occurring: foreground or background. This enables the client side extensions to make operational decisions based on this processing characteristics.
The extension uses the lists of Group Policy objects to complete its portion of Group Policy processing. The extension logs any errors reading the Group Policy objects and continues processing until it reaches the end of the list.
The extension cycles through the list of Group Policy objects in the list starting with the first entry in the list. The extension collects the prerequisite information about the current GPO. From this information and its own information, the extension builds file path location to the configuration file. The configuration file location path begins with the extensions history path.
The history path is a local data store of the last successfully applied data configuration files for each Group Policy object. The root of the history folder looks similar to. Windows protects the history folder with the hidden attribute; therefore, by default, it is not visible from Windows Explorer or from the command line. The history folder contains sub folders, where each folder is named to the globally unique identifier GUID of a corresponding Group Policy object.
Each Group Policy object folder within the history folder contains sub folders where each folder is named to a corresponding security identifier SID of a user who has logged on to the current computer. The complete path to the history file for the Group Policy Drive Maps extension is. This creates a full path, including file name, to the configuration file.
The extensions opens this file and reads the entire contents of the file into memory and then closes the file. The configuration file contains an outer element with multiple inner elements where each inner element represents a separate drive map preference item.
Each inner element includes a Properties element that holds the respective elements configuration information. The extension begins by settings its focus on the first inner element. The extension scans the current inner element for the removePolicy attribute.
An inner element without a removePolicy attribute or an inner element with a removePolicy attribute value equaling false zero [0] causes the extension to move to the next inner element.
An inner element with a removePolicy attribute equaling true one [1] indicates to the extension that it must remove the settings in the current inner element. The extension uses the settings from the current inner element and its associated Properties element to undo, or remove the settings. The extension accomplish this by forcing the processing to use the Remove action regardless of the action configured in the current inner element and continues this cycle until it has processed all inner elements in the configuration file.
The extension then moves to the next Group Policy object in the list and processes it in the same fashion until it has processed all GPOs in the out-of-scope list. The extension begins processing the new and changed GPO list.
From this information, the extension builds file path location to the configuration file. The extension reads the entire configuration file into memory. The extension evaluates the outer element for the disabled attribute. An outer element with a disabled attribute equaling true one [1] indicates the all inner elements are considered disabled. The extension discontinues processing any part of the current configuration and moves to the next Group Policy object in the list.
An outer element without a disabled attribute or with a disabled attribute value equaling false zero [0] continues processing by evaluating the inner elements,. The extension evaluates the current inner element for the disabled attribute. An inner element with a disabled attribute equaling true one [1] indicates the inner element is disabled. The extension discontinues processing the current inner element and move to the next inner element.
An inner element without a disabled attribute or inner element with a disabled attribute value equaling false zero [0] continues evaluating the inner element for item-level targeting information. The extension scans the current inner element for a Filters element. The Filters element is an optional element that holds the item-level targeting configuration information for each inner element.
A Filters element existing within the inner element indicates the extension must evaluate one or more Boolean criteria before processing the inner element configuration. A false result from a Filters evaluation forces the extension to ignore the current inner element and move to the next inner element.
A true result from a Filters evaluation indicates the extension should continue processing the inner element and action configured within the current element. Action processing occurs once the client side extension has evaluated all other criteria that would instruct it to bypass processing outer or the current inner element. Action processing correlates to the action configured in each inner element reminder an inner element represents a single preference item. The four actions the Group Policy Drive Map extension can process are create, replace, update, and delete.
The create actions represents a configuration where the extension creates a new mapped drive based on the configuration in the current inner element. Any failure attempting the impersonation results in the extension aborting its processing and to return the underlying error code that resulted in the impersonation failure.
The core phase of create action processing is to use the configuration information read during the prologue phase to create a mapped network drive for the current user. A true value determines the desired configuration is for a specific drive letter. The extensions starts by ensure the drive letter is normalized in all lower case and that its syntax matches [driveLetter:]. Any failures encountered during normalization cause the extension to abort and to return an invalid argument error.
An unsuccessful response from the Windows API instructs the extension to abort its processing and to return the underlying error code it received from the Windows API. This explains why mapped drives for administrators and some users are not always visible in Windows Explorer. Then, the extension discontinues impersonating the current user under the restricted token and returns impersonating the user using the full token.
The extension continues processing by applying the configured label to the newly created mapped drive. The extension needs to determine the first available drive letter before it can map any network location.
The extension determines a letter qualifies as available first by using the WNetGetConnection API to determine if the current letter in the list of letters is mapped to a network drive or associated with a physical device. A drive letter not mapped to a shared folder instructs the extension to check if a previously available drive letter was already saved. If the extension already knows of the first available drive letter, than it performs no other actions on the current drive letter and starts the evaluation over again using the next letter in the list.
If the extension is unaware of any previously saved available drive letter, then ensures the current letter is not associated with a physical device. A drive letter associated with a physical device is not eligible as an available drive letter. The extension performs no other actions on the current drive letter and starts the evaluation over again using the next letter in the list.
A drive letter making to this part of the process has passed all the criteria needed to become the first available drive letter. The extension completes its iteration through the drive letter list and validates a free drive letter exits. Otherwise, the extension is aware of an available drive letter and must now connect the shared network folder to the available drive letter.
An unsuccessful response from the Windows API instructs the extension to abort its processing and return the underlying error code it received from the Windows API.
Any failure in requesting a restricted token for the current user instructs the extension to abort its processing and to return the underlying error code that is the result of the failure to when requesting the restricted token.
To this point in the process, the extension has successfully created a mapped network drive using either a specific drive letter or a first available drive letter. The extension ignores any failures that may occurs during drive label processing.
The Group Policy Drive Map extension can show or hide drives using two configurations. It can hide or show a single, specified drive letter and it can hide or show all drive letters. The extension processes all drives first and specified drive last.
Thus, the outcome of configuring both results in the specified drive configuration have precedence over the all drives configuration. Otherwise, the extension begins the hide or show drives process by changing to the security context to System. Any failure in changing to System security context causes the extension to abort its processing and return the underlying error responsible for the failure.
The extension then processes hide or show settings for a specific drive letter. The extension retrieves the NoDrives registry value from the following registry hive of the current user. We call this 'Personal' drives. We also have a public drive which uses the above script and works perfectly. Is there a way to map the drive to a specific folder which is different for each user using their username? I followed the steps here.
Disconnect from the session and logged back in, and still does not seem to run the program on logon. I also modified the Local policy to run the script on Logon but it does not run it. If I double-click on it, it works and maps the drive, but it does not do it upon Logon.
