Administrator Guide

Check Group Policy settings
When the deployment process creates the Active Directory organizational unit (OU) for Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, it blocks
polic
y inheritance on the OU. If your domain has Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that are congured at a higher OU or domain level with the
No Override option enabled, these policy settings apply to servers in the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp. These policy
settings may interfere with the deployment process and cause deployment to fail. In this case, Dell recommends that you disable the No
Override option during stamp deployment.
IMPORTANT
: The recommendations and guidelines in this document are based on industry best practices, CPS Standard
architecture requirements, and Dell EMC lab testing. If not followed, the functionality and or management of the solution may
not work as designed or expected, and problem resolution may be limited, delayed, or not viable.
Known policy settings that cause deployment to fail include:
• The following policy settings under GPO_name\Computer Con

– Accounts: Administrator account status (if set to Disabled)
