hi there
the (new) computer is connected to a domain
logging in with the local user there are no problems
logging in with the domain user, two issues that were present in the
old computer are back:
- “There are currently no power options available” when I click on the system shutdown button
That’s a group policy setting from the domain. See, for example,
https://www.prajwaldesai.com/disable-or-prevent-shutdown-option-using-group- policy/
- disk C: is not displayed in the explorer (but regularly accessible
writing C: in the address bar)
That’s group policy, too. See, direct from Deepest Microsoft, just as an example:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/group- policy/using-group-policy-objects-hide-specified-drives
According to google, both are known issues since a long time ago, both
have a thousand solutions to try, none seems to work
The question:
since connecting as a local user everything works fine, I can limit the problem to the domain user; the company sysadmin (the domain
responsible) says they don't exist settable policies to produce these effects, suggests "check the profile", so I ask you: what to check and
where?
Someone set these as group policies at the ADDS level. You’d need ADDS
admin access. You also need ADDS admin access to check your profile, not
least because you need access to Active Directory Users & Computers. See,
for example,
https://www.windows-active-directory.com/ad-user-properties-profile-tab.html
If you have that level access, killing a group policy is not a problem.
