We have an SBS 2008 environment with only one DC. I was on a Windows 7 client computer and I noticed in the event viewer that the Group Policy was not being applied. When I run "gpupdate" from cmd prompt, I get the following:
Updating Policy...
User policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encount
ered:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\repo
rtersink.local\SysVol\reportersink.local\Policies\{BAD2EE73-95F3-4A2F-9D3F-CBBB9
BE3C94A}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy s
ettings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be trans
ient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller
has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were enc
ountered:
To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html f
rom the command line to access information about Group Policy results."
Also under administrative events I see a bunch of 1058 errors. How can I troubleshoot this?
Additionally It seems to be only happening on Windows 7 machines, on the XP computers "gpupdate" is successful and there are no event id 1058's in the XP machines either
