RegistryPolicyFile: Conflicting Key When Setting Same Policy For Multiple Target Types about gpregistrypolicydsc HOT 5 OPEN

Hi @pyrostew, does using UserConfiguration for the targetType give the desired result for your issue?

from gpregistrypolicydsc.

I Tried with the User Configuration as well, but again can only have one instance of the resource because AccountName is not a Key parameter, so at best can only set one group. If the AccountName parameter could take an array of names that would achieve what I need.

I would have to test to verify but I think if UserConfiguration is the targetType the policy will apply to all users so it would be unnecessary to apply same policy to multiple accounts. Is your scenario that you want to apply a policy to User1, User2, but not User3?

Oooh I see what you mean, sorry I misunderstood your last comment!

I had assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the UserConfiguration would only set the account that is running the config...

I can't test at the moment, my environment is having other issues that I'm currently resolving.

I've managed to test your suggestion, and yes it did apply the configuration to all of the users. So my user case at the moment is fine. It still feels like there is a potential gap if a configuration needed to be applied to a number of specific users or groups. But I'll leave you to stew over the value of that.

Thanks for realigning my understanding!
