Managing 'Security Settings' in Active Directory GPO using C++ - c++

Need help with modify 'Security Settings' in AD's GPO.
The 'Administrative template' settings are stored in corresponding ADMX files. I'm able to change these settings using IGroupPolicyObject in C++.
I couldn't find the actual storage of 'Security Settings' in Windows / Active Directory.
I am trying to get the list of settings along with any/all properties programmatically. Any leads are appreciated.
Please check the below screenshot as a reference to Security settings.

C++ VS2015: Property pages are sharing settings?

I have a VS2015 c++ project I'm trying to set preprocessor settings for.
When I open the configuration manager and change the configuration to "Debug" and then set my preprocessor setting, when I click "Apply" and then switch the configuration to "Release", release adopts whatever I set the debug setting to.
Basically, VS is refusing to let me set different settings for different configurations. Is there some "share settings" option I've accidentally enabled somewhere? How do I get VS to stop sharing settings between configurations?
I managed to get property page settings to respect their configuration by adding "condition" tags to the .vcxproj file for those settings.
So
<AdditionalDependencies>math.lib</AdditionalDependencies>
became
<AdditionalDependencies Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|x64'">math.lib</AdditionalDependencies>
Now when I open VS and switch between configurations, the settings respect their configuration.
However, if anyone knows why VS isn't automatically adding these conditions itself I'd love to hear why.

Sitecore advanced upload option is missing from admin panel

I was trying to upload an image using Sitecore [Version 6.5] media library to my existing sitecore website. I see the Advance Upload Files option is completly missing. Later, I tried to install a default sitecore instance and I see the Advanced Upload option is there. But it is completely missing to the existing sitecore website.
Here, is the snapshot of my site where the Advanced upload option is completely missing:
And here is the snapshot of my default sitecore site where the Advanced upload option is there:
To fix this, I tried to change couple of configuration files. But still the same issue. The Advanced upload files option is completely missing. Did you face the same type of issue or if you know how to fix this issue, can you please share your thoughts. Or if I need to change any of the configuration files, then can you share your thoughts about that change of any of the configuration file?
Thanks
Upload files (Advanced) button is hidden in 2 cases:
Folder does not use Media Folder template. Just check your folders - maybe they use standard Folder template instead of Media Folder.
Upload.Classic setting is set to false. Open /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx and look for Upload.Classic value. When it's set to true, Sitecore uses flash upload instead.
If none of above is the case, maybe you have some custom code which hides Upload files (Advanced) button from you editors.

WebStorm Deployment menu options greyed out?

I have decided to use WebStorm it seems good however most of the time if I go to Tools - Deployment the upper menu options are greyed out? I can configure and I can go to Options but I cannot download from the server? I can open the remote host just fine and scroll through documents that way but from what I understand WebStorm loses a lot of functionality if you develop this way.
I have no Git and am just working by myself so this workflow is fine for me right now.....if I can download from the server!
In my Deployment Menu from Tools all of the tests work and I can autofind my folder and all that. Whats going on?
Here is the Mappings section:
Your Local path has to be part of your current project (root or a subfolder).
The deployment path a folder of your server where it should be stored - if it should be stored on the root it is just a slash: '/'.
If your connection is successful you should be able to select a folder with the dialog (on the right).
Make also sure your server is marked as 'default' which is your default connection for this project - based on that link.
The projects has been indexed by WebStorm so you can easily refactor and other fancy stuff.
Every project has a root folder with a config folder .idea.
For those that are convinced their mappings are set up the right way, here's one key thing to check. It seems like their SFTP usage does not follow symbolic links (on the remote) correctly. And you can see that if you go to the Mappings tab and click on the "..." for the Deployment path - when it shows the list, symlinked dirs do not show up. By avoiding symlinks in the path, I was able to get the upper part of the Tools/Deployment menu to be active again (non-grey)
I was using PyCharm Pro 2017.3

How to programatically change a project's product version as displayed in Control Panel

I have read how to programmatically change a project's product version which deals with using the Resource editor to update the appropriate sections of a project's resource file. But the version information under discussion is what appears in the resource file and is available from Explorer by
Right-clicking the .exe or .dll.
selecting Properties and the Details tab.
But this version does not correspond to the version displayed in the Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs. I've changed my resource file version, but Add/Remove programs lists my application as being v1.0. Where is this version information maintained?
If you are using Install shield for creating exe then you can specify your product version their,later this version no will be displayed in control panel.

Setting TeamCity agent.work.dir from Custom Build

I'm setting the teamcity.build.checkoutDir configuration parameter via the 'Run Custom Build' dialog as I want to control the build location.
When looking at the 'Build Parameters' page of the build, I can see the teamcity.build.checkoutDir parameter is correctly using my set value, but the 'Actual Parameters on Agent' value always remains set to the default checkout path.
I've tried setting the Version Control Settings->Checkout Directory to Custom Path and the teamcity.build.checkoutDir parameter still does not use my custom setting.
Please can someone help me with this?
Many Thanks!
You can't change the value of teamcity.build.checkoutDir. All the teamcity.build.* variables are read-only.
You can change the checkout directory by editing the VCS root settings.
Edit the build configuration
Select Version Control Settings
Next to Checkout Directory choose 'Custom Path' from the drop-down.
You can also set a custom path by using custom client mappings for the VCS.
