Group Policy Backup failed

GPO Complete backup is failed, tried single GPO backup too.
The Error message is shown below,
GPO: Admin IT...Failed
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.

Hi Frank,
      We have done Teaming for the server. Its HP Proliant DL 380 G7. From than we are not able to take the GPOs backup. 
As per the below information from the Sandesh. Please check the Point No 2.
the url for this details description ("https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7c7bf4f4-0165-45c8-9ec6-1744440484e3/the-processing-of-group-policy-failed?forum=winserverDS") 
Also ensure the correct dns setting on DC:
1. Each DC / DNS server points to its private IP address as primary DNS server and other remote/local DNS servers as secondary in TCP/IP properties.
2. Each DC has just one IP address and single network adapter is enabled.
3. Contact your ISP and get valid DNS IPs from them and add it in to the forwarders, Do not set public DNS server in TCP/IP setting of DC.
4. Once you are done, run "ipconfig /flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns", restart DNS and NETLOGON service each DC.
Do not put private DNS IP addresses in forwarder list.

Sandesh Dubey.

  • Win 2K8 R2 - Group Policy Management - Failed to Open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. The network path was not found.

    New to Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration.
    I setup this Windows 2008 R2 Server on a Dell 2950 Poweredge server and have been migrating users off of an old NT style domain running on Samba 3.6 on CentOS.
    I have the domain setup (nicholas.sacredheartsaratoga.org), added users, and have moved users / computers over to the new domain and working.
    When attempting to setup Group Policy Objects, I continually get the "Failed to Open Group Policy Object" Error.  This is driving me nuts and seems to be a 49 error.. which I have done a ton of research on but none of the suggested fixes seem
    to be working.
    I've been working at this for a couple of weeks and really need this fixed to be able to set GPO's correctly.

    I was trying to put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\SelfServicePlugin\SelfService.exe" into the startup folder for members of a specific group. That file exists, it's there, I've put the short cut to it manually into Startup and it works. This

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, this event is most likely related to permissions. We need to make sure that users can access the shortcut file. 
    Besides, which startup folder do we use?
    As stated in the following thread by Darien, Windows has two Startup folders:
    Windows has two Startup folders.
    One located in
    c:\users\xxxx\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup.  This one is owned and controlled by the interactive user; therefore, he or she can write to this folder.
    The other one is located at
    c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup.  This folder is a system folder in which interactive users must provided elevated credentials.
    Startup Folder

  • Group policy error: Failed to open group policy object on this computer.

    Hi all,
    I received this message when i tried to look at the local group policy setting on one of my machines (Windows XP SP3), which is joined in my domain.
    "Failed to open group policy object on this computer. You may not have appropriate rights.
    Details:
    Unspecified error."
    note that I am local admin.
    It's all started when I was troublshooting WSUS connectivity and i looked at the WinsdowsUpdate.log, the WSUS server was <Null> & WSUS status server <Null>, I tried to force the domain GP by using GPupdate /force, it went fine and asked to
    log off, but nothing changed in the WindowsUpdate.log still <Null>. Then i tried to look at the local policy setting.
    I searched the internet nothing related to my case.
    Thanks in advance for advising.

    I guess reinstall windows is the solution, I also found one log "event id 1096", related to "registry.pol" it was corrupted.

  • Group Policy Shortcuts Fail: The system cannot find the path specified.

    The executable I'm pointing to is under C:\Foldername\file.exe
    I know it's there, I tested it, I pasted the very same path into the run dialog, it works. The path is correct, so why can't group policy find it?
    I even tried putting the exe in the root of C:\ and pointing the shortcut there, it can't even see it there. Is it blind? I can see it. I'm looking right at it.

    I fixed it myself. Turns out Microsoft's error messages are obnoxiously non-helpful. The error was referring to the icon path not the target file path.  I had to select programs from the drop down list and then set the path.
    It would help if Microsoft would document this a lot better, and perhaps enhance their event log errors so that they don't send people on confusing wild goose chases that drive people insane.

  • Group Policy Printers failing - Windows 8.1 Enterprise

    Been struggling with this for years, across the past several versions of Windows.
    Currently we're on Windows 8.1 Enterprise, deployed in a lab environment. I'd like to get the entire lab connected to a shared printer for any user who logs in.
    First of all, which Group Policy option should I be using? Computer or User? Policy or Preference? There seems to be four different ways to deploy a printer. It is a shared printer on a 2008R2 server.
    Second, I've been using a User Preference for the time being with "update" as the command. It will work most of the time, but every now and then a user will log on and see no printers. Event logs show entries that range from "printer unavailable"
    to "name is incorrect", which is all weird. No printer configurations have changed. Other times a user will see a printer but nothing will happen when they go to print. Still other times, and I've only seen this since we've been on Windows 8.1, a
    user will see 60 or 70 printers in Devices and Printers, all with the same name, and none of them working.
    This is a heavily used lab, with dozens of users logging on and off each computer every day. I'm just trying to determine the most reliable way of giving each user a printer. Thanks for anyone who can help.

    Hi,
    I suggest deploying your computer under User configuration with GPP. Printers deployed under the user configuration will allow easier management. You can configure printers to set themselves as the default. You can also change a printer preference (such
    as duplexing) without redeploying the printer. If you use print queue management software (like Print Manager Plus), you must use a user side printer. The downside is the printer installation will be slower. Every new user logging onto the computer will have
    to wait as the printer installs.
    Please clear previous GP for deploying printer and check suggestions here:
    GP Preferences: Add a new printer, set as default
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2009/06/24/gp-preferences-set-a-default-printer.aspx
    After deployment, please check the gpresult by running following command and see if it is deployed properly:
    gpresult /s ComputerName /user Domain\UserName /h c:\gpreport.html
    Note: Here, ComputerName is the name of the computer that you want to log policy results for and Domain\UserName indicates the user that you want to log policy results for.

  • MSI Group Policy install failing because of administrator rights problem

    I have succesfully installed the desktop manager software 4.6 on my PC using the MSI from the CD. I am a domain administrator, when I try to install the same MSI on other users in the domain through group policy who are not administrators the software will not install. I have checked and the policy is definately being applied and it says on logon that the Blackberry Desktop Manager software is being installed but no icon or program group is created.
    I don't want to give users administrator rights as the users are not allowed to install software on their PC. Normally software installs through group policy without a problem. I don't want to have to go around to each PC and install manually if I can avoid it.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Someone else would really need to answer this, but i have my own simple solution we use here.
    Create a share file eg //138.218.137.22 etc etc for the user to go to. In here save a copy of the desktop manager. Get them to click and drag it to their desktop and install the file from there. (do not install the file directly from the shared drive)
    Is the cd version won't work, get the install.exe from the blackberry site..
    If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
    OR
    If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

  • Deleted Policy from sysvol location by mistake - Group Policy Infrasturure Failure - 2008 R2

    Hello, I accidentally deleted a GPO Policy from the Policies Folder in the sysvol location. I was sure that it was not being used but was somehow causing an errors when i ran an rsop on my test machine.
    Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
    The system cannot find the path specified.
    Note:  Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy.  Consequently, status information for the other components is not available
    Getting it from Backup would take too long.
    There are no auditing on the DC and cant work out how to recover it now. Is there anyway to get this back? I have checked the other DCs but couldnt find the exact policy ID before replication.
    Thanks

  • Group Policy Guru? Group Policy and Windows 7 erratic and inconsistant.

    (*If you don't feel like reading everything, skip to the bottom two paragraphs for my questions)
    I've had a premier call open with MS since August. This week I had a Microsoft Technician in-house.  Though we eliminated some possibilities, we're not really closer to a cause or solution.
    Every time we work with an expert, I get a different explanation to describe the situation we are viewing.
    Quick summery of the issue:  We've been using Group Policy to manage most Windows XP and 7 settings for years, but starting the middle of last year, we began having clients with machines where some or all group policies would fail to apply. 
    These could be long assigned policies, new polices, or changes to policies.  It would never affect everyone or even a majority at once, and the resolution is never the same.  Sometimes a GPUDPATE /FORCE sometimes fixed automajically the next day,
    sometimes (but very rarely) longer.
    Troubleshooting History:
    What we found in early troubleshooting, that these machines, had errors in Event Viewer for Netlogon, Time-Sync, and Group Policy.  The other issue we noticed, was that our GPRESULT /H reports were missing security groups and the denied section was
    nothing but SSID's.  The first issue pointed me to:
    Event ID 5719 and event ID 1129 may be logged when a non-Microsoft DHCP Relay Agent is used
    I installed these Hot Fixes.  No change to any of the errors in event viewer, or to our Group Policy problems.
    Initial work with Premier Support found that Netlogon, Time-Sync, and Group Policy, were failing before loading of the network stack.  The suggestion was to apply the group policy setting "Always wait for the network at computer startup and
    logon".  At the time, this seemed not to work.  The policy was set on a test bed of laptops and desktops, and no changes in behavior were seen after 3 days.
    Windows 7 Clients intermittently fail to apply group policy at startup
    For some time after this, we were collecting GPSVC and NetTrace logs for Premeir Support, trying to document and troubleshoot the problem.  Eventually we got fed up and asked our TAM to call in a pro to get this resolved.  We were sent an engineer
    for 3 days.  For three days we banged away on this issue.  We verified AD and replication health, we tried numerous fixes and workarounds.  I learned 3 different desriptions of how Group Policy works, and in the end we thought we had a workaround
    using the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" because of a single success late in the day.  On day 3 we tried replicating this fix, and quickly realized that the same issue we were having preventing other GPOs to apply,
    were also preventing our "fix" GPO from applying.  So we went the route of using a registry entry.  I also had a problem that even though it was making the process more consistant, it was still taking 3 reboots for a Computer Policy, assigned
    to a computer object via Security Group, to fully take affect on a computer.
    I used the registry methods in the above article.  It didn't work, no sign it was having the same affect the GPO had had.
    Our support engineer claimed this was the proper method, but that path wasn't even close in a Windows 7 SP1 registry, and after creating all the keys that were not present, it still didn't work.
    Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon - AzureWeb
    We ran out of time, our engineer returned home.
    I can understand how these errors indicate a problem applying Group Policy at boot.  But to me it doesn't explain why it doesn't correct post boot, and after a GPUDPATE /FORCE and a reboot.
    It also doesn't explain why we were working fine for years, then all of a sudden DHCP is being outrun by background services.  (By the way logging showed DHCP wasn't significantly delayed, out boot process was actually excellent, health wise.) 
    Why all of a sudden is this not behaving optimly?  No changes to network design or function.  No changes to the domain since 2008 R2 was installed in 2011.
    Today I'm reading through all these KB's and articles again, and took some time to read:
    [Forum FAQ] Common steps to start troubleshooting Group Policy
    application and it's links below.
    We ran though all of that before and during the 3-day onsite.  It's not getting us any closer to the cause or a solution.
    I found and begin some deep reading in this link today.  It has some additional information I will try to use next week:
    Group Policy Basics - Part 3: How Clients Process GPOs
    The one unanswered question I have is this.  How is group policy supposed to apply to a computer, when that policy is applied to a AD Security Group, in which the computer object is a member?
    Before we began having this problem, we would assign a computer GPO, then ask the user to reboot.  If it were a user GPO, we'd ask the user to log off, or reboot.  Either way, if we allowed a few minutes for AD and FRS replication, the user would
    log back in with that new policy in affect.  A new imaged machine would boot with all the GPO's linked to that domain and assigned to "Authenticated Users", already in affect.  Admin groups would be present in administrators, proxy settings
    would be set in Internet Explorer, etc.
    Now I'm aked to beleive this was never the case from Premeier Support and Microsoft Engineers.  That those policies require the equilent of a "GPUPDATE /FORCE" that was executed by the Local_System account.  That 3 reboots may
    be nessessary for a group policy to be applied.  One for the AD Security Group to be applied.  One for the Computer Policy to be applied.  And a final one for the policy in the GPO to be applied to Windows.
    Can someone confirm or correct this information please?  It's imperitive to my troubleshootng.
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

    That key is empty on all of my machines I have checked today.  Working and problematic alike.
    GPRESULT logs, when ran as me, historically would show the group polices applied, denied, and the AD group membership all by name.  About 6 months ago I noticed this changed.
    Now they show the applied GPO's by name, a few of the denied GPO's by name, most by SID, and only 2 to 3 AD groups, though PowerShell shows all the AD groups assigned.  This happens after several AD security and distribution groups are added to the
    machine (Radia software distribution uses Dist groups to assign software).
    A check showed no groups with long legacy Kerberos keys.
    When we make a change to AD Security Group membership, to assign or deny a Group Policy, is usually when we encounter this problem.  It will usually fix itself in 24 hours of the machine being left up and running.  But no amount of GPUPDATE /FORCE
    and rebooting will cause the changes to take affect.
    During this time, the Group Policies will show assigned to the computer in the GPRESULT log.
    Yesterday I began looking into Spanning Tree configuration on our network being a possible cause for the boot up issues.  I'm waiting on responses from our Network group to confirm our configuration.

  • Installing Flash Player V 10.2.153.1 Via Group Policy

    Recently i tried to upgrade our existing flash player V10.2.152.32, to V 10.2.153.1 Via Group Policy.
    But the group policy keep failing, during the investigation phase i have enabled logging to try to troubleshoot the installation steps, and possibly find a solution, but so far am clueless on a solution. I have included the installation log please help.

    Please note that i have unloaded the antivirus and conducted the installation with no luck.

    Today i have tried installing flash manually via the web interface that worked fine. im not sure now if the MSI file provided by adobe is faulty. can someone please explain.
    Manuall install is not a solution for me as i have over 300 machine that i need to deploy flash to.

  • Software Installation - Group Policy

    I created a group policy objects to include software installation of both Adobe Flash Player ActiveX and NANPI but they did not update both on several systems that I tested on.
    UNC Path to both MSI files are good and I checked permission, it should not be any problem for these systems to access both MSI files. My goal is to update existing Adobe Flash to latest version and to install them if any system do not have them. 
    I do not understand why Group Policy failed to update Adobe Flash ActiveX and NANPI version 14 to 16 on both systems.

    Application Event Log is showing this:
    Application Management Group Policy
    General
    Failed to apply changes to software installation settings.  The installation of software deployed through Group Policy for this user has been delayed until the next logon because the changes must be applied before the user logon.  The error was

    Do you have any idea what this can be causing this problem? 

  • Event ID 1053 - Group Policy

    Recently encountered this error, following some FRS issues with SYSVOL and our NETLOGON folders (event id 13508, if anyone's interested). These replication issues have been resolved, but there is an issue with clients applying group policies. The computer side
    of the policy applies every time, no problem. The issue is to do with user policies.
    If a user logs on to a machine they were using prior to our replication issues, they receive all the relevant policies and the machine is locked down, as expected. If they log on to a machine they've never logged on to before, they don't receive any user group
    policy settings and the event viewer lists error 1053 (with the machine being wide open to their assault).
    Event 1053: The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the user name. This could be caused by one of more of the following: 
    a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller. 
    b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
    Running a gpupdate /force doesn't apply these policies, only presenting this error...
    The processing of group policy. Windows could not resolve the user name.
    This could be caused by one of the following:
    a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller - We're quite confident this isn't the problem.
    b) Active Directory Replication Latency (An account created on another domain controller has no replicated to the current domain controller) - Checked this, all accounts have been replicated. 
    Upon producing a GPreport I receive this error:
    Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
    The specified account does not exist. 
    Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available.
    Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in the console or the application event log for events between 13/11/2014 14:06:30 and 13/11/2014 14:06:32.

    Thanks,

    Hi J,
    Looks like this could be an access/permissons issue. Could you just confirm a couple of things though:
    Use nslookup to
    confirm you can resolve addresses of the domain controllers
    Use ipconfig /all on a user PC to make sure you are hitting the correct DNS servers
    Assuming this is all okay (which I'm sure it is), take a look at
    this thread with a similar issue. In the end it was determined that several necessary ports were not open on the DC, which resulted in errors with group policy.
    Have a read of that and let us know how you get on. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment, it feels like this might be a "trial and error" problem!
    Regards,

  • Error Message when logging on "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied"

    Since the move to Windows 7 we have started getting this error above when people login at random times and on random machines, at first we thought it was only a select few users, but now it seems to have occurred to about 20 different Staff members working
    at the school. Also of those 20 odd users it has happened to them on a few occasions.
    What we know
    We know this problem is only occurring to staff with Roaming Profiles, it seems like somehow the profile is not Synchronizing with the Servers File Share that houses the profiles, which causes the NTUSER.DAT file to become corrupt and go from being around
    2 – 3 MBs to 256KB (In all cases where a user has had this issue there NTUSER.DAT file has been 256KB)
    Current Resolution to the problem
    When a staff member contact us with this problem, we fortunately have Previous Versions working on the profiles folder on the server, so we are able to restore their NTUSER.DAT file from 1 to 2 days before it became corrupt, which then seems to allow them
    to log on fine
    What we have tried so far & suggested so far
    After some research on Google, we found the following thread on EduGeek
    http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/78733-windows-7-user-profile-failed-error-again.html#post700415
    Which suggested that the problem may lay within registry, so we implemented the Script that was posted on the website, however this has not seemed to make any difference
    In the early stages when only 5 – 10 staff seemed to be having the problem, we believed the issue could be with just certain AD accounts. It had not seemed to happen to any recently created AD accounts so we thought it could be a corrupt attribute on
    the user so we delete one of the staff AD accounts that had the problem and creating a brand new one, however within about 2 – 3 weeks that staff member had the issue occur again
    Leading on from point two, we also thought the problem could be with people using multiple computers, logging on in 2 places and not logging off properly, but unfortunately the staff member referred to in point 2 only uses the one computer in reception.
    Another potential cause that we figured might be the route of the problem, was it could be specific computers that are not communicating properly with the server, which could be causing this problem to occur, but we have no real way of testing this,
    as the staff generally log onto 3 – 4 different computers throughout the day and in different location
    We log a call with EE and they just pointed us to various websites that we had already checked and wasn’t much help.
    In Summary
    This error has now occurred with about 20 members of staff, we currently only use Windows 7 at our Senior School & Moving to Windows 7 at our Prep School in the Summer
    holidays, we would like to find out the route of this problem ideally before then, as we could potentially be doubling the amount of staff with the problem after the move. Has anyone else seen this problem or have a brain wave on how to solve it?

    Hi Dudleya,
    First of all ,I would suggest to check the permissions of the NTUSER.DAT registry hive .Here is a link for reference :

    Please refer to this link and add the registry keys to have a check .Please backup the registry keys before you made modifications to them.
