Ok, here is the deal. The problem happens because you have the "Plug and Play" service set by GPO. Sounds weird but have an explanation. When you set the "Plug and Play" service by GPO, the service is set with default permissions: Allow - BUILTIN\Administrators - Full Control Allow - NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM - Full Control Allow - NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE - Read The permissions granted to the "Plug and Play" Service do not grant the Licensing Service (sppsvc) the appropiate rights to access the Plug and Play service. So, you have 2 solutions A- Disable the "Plug and Play" service by GPO and let the default configuration works instead the configuration set by GPO. After that, make "gpupdate /force /target:computer" to update the computer policy without restart. B- Set the permissions in the "Plug and Play" service in the GPO to allow the activation. This issue happens in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. 1- Open the Plug and Play service in the GPO. Go to Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / System Services. 2- Open the service and click in Edit Security. 3- Add the "SERVICE" user with the following allow permissions. Query template Query status Enumerate dependents Interrogate User-defined control Read permissions Run "gpupdate /force /target:computer" to update the computer policy without restart. Best Regards |
