I want to enable Notifications on the Windows 2016 and 2019 servers using the Group Policy or Registry Editor on my Active Directory server. Can you guide me how i can enable the Notifications? While trying to enable Notifications through the settings, it shows "Some settings are managed by your organization". I am the IT guy for the organization and i want to enable Notification on all the servers in the domain.

    Hi Amaan,

    Sure, I can help you with that. To enable notifications on Windows Server 2016 and 2019 using Group Policy or Registry Editor, you can follow these steps:

    Using Group Policy:

    1. Open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) on your Active Directory server.
    2. Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) or edit an existing one that applies to your Windows Server 2016/2019 computers.
    3. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Security > Notifications.
    4. Enable the "Configure Windows spotlight on lock screen" policy and set it to "Enabled".
    5. Enable the "Configure toast notifications" policy and set it to "Enabled".
    6. Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the changes.

    Using Registry Editor:

    1. Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) on your Windows Server 2016/2019 computer.
    2. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications
    3. Create a new DWORD value named "NoToastApplicationNotificationOnLockScreen" and set its value data to "0".
    4. Create a new DWORD value named "NoToastApplicationNotification" and set its value data to "0".
    5. Close the Registry Editor.

    After making these changes, you should be able to see notifications on your Windows Server 2016/2019 computers. If you still see the "Some settings are managed by your organization" message, it may be because of other Group Policy settings that are applied to your computers. You can check the Group Policy settings that are applied to your computers by running the "gpresult /r" command in a Command Prompt window.

    Best regards,

    Qiuyang
