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.
Mohammed Adel

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

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.

Failed to create an IDataAdapter object. This provider may not be fully supported with the Execute SQL Task

I executed a simple query inside an execute SQL task -
SELECT col1, col2
from thetable
where code = ?
order by id asc
Exec sql task - ADO.NET connection
parameter "code" is an int32 in SSIS and int32 in parameter mapping of exec sql task.
It works fine in SQL server, but in SSIS it causes the error -
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT col1, col2
from thet..." failed with the following error: "Failed to create an IDataAdapter object. This provider may not be fully supported with the Execute SQL Task. Error message 'Incorrect syntax near '?'.'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with
the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
How do I fix this error ?

Thanks. I think it was sqlclient. I changed it to OLEDB to avoid that issue. Btw, what is this "provider" ?
Hi blastoSO,
To check which provider is used by the current ADO.NET Connection Manager, you can open the “Configure ADO.NET Connection Manager” window, and check the “Managed Provider” option of each Data connection.
In an Execute SQL Task, if the managed provider is “System.Data.SqlClient”, we should use the rule for the ADO.NET connection type in the following table. If the managed provider is “System.Data.Oledb” or “System.Data.Odbc”, it actually uses the OLE DB provider
or ODBC provider, so we should use the rule for the OLE DB or OBC rule in the following table:

Errors (libGL error: failed to open drm) in Gnome Startup & StartUp

Hi,
I started installing ArchLinux and want to use Gnome but got some error messages on start up.
My System is a Thinkpad T400s with Intel GMA 4500MHD.
I have installed:
pacman -S gnome xorg-server dbus xorg-xinit xf86-video-intel
from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel my graphic chip is supported.
X Server works ("Xorg -retro" and "startx /usr/bin/xterm" is working).
xinit gnome-session
Starts Gnome around a Xterm (seems to be so).
In this Xterm window there are a lot of messages with errors I don't track down:

Report works in CR10, on enterprise server error: Failed to open a rowset

Hi,
I created a report, which works fine in Crystal Reports (designer).
After uploading the report to the enterprise-server it don't work anymore.
I use the same database and the same parameters, but get the following error:
Failed to open a rowset. File D:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Enterprise 10\Data\procSched\FDMPLS082M.reportjobserver\~tmp14f4559568a82d0.rpt.
For other reports it works fine.
Edited by: Joris Stoop on Aug 25, 2008 11:25 AM

Does the server have the same database DSN named the same? Also, you may want to try installing CR on the server and see if the report works there.

*ERROR: failed to open file " export directory path /ABAP/DATA/SAPSTR.LST

Hello experts,
I am doing system export.
as per the system copy guide I follows all steps.
when I tried for export preparation.
I got following error in "/tmp/sapinst_instdir/ERPEhP4/LM/COPY/DB6/EXP/CENTRAL/AS-ABAP/PREEXP/R3ldctlExport.log"
ERROR: failed to open file "/db2/PRD/sapdata4/export_prd/ABAP/DATA/SAPSTR.LST"
/db2/PRD/sapdata4/export_prd is my export directory.
but I found that the "SAPSTR.LST" is not exist in the location.
also I don't find any log regarding this error.
how to resolve this? please guide.

Hi Rupesh,
In continuation of previous mail, there is keyboard problem hence spelling mistakes.
Various possible solutions:
Report SMIGR_CREATE_DDL has to be executed before starting export preparation.
OR
Download llatest kernel patch and apply them in /spmnt/<SID>/exe
make sure download latest patch R3ldctl file and R3load from SAP Marketplace and apply them in to /sapmnt/<SID>/exe.
Make sure export dump folder should be in local drives (in windows) or local filesystems i.e.do not use network drives (windows) or NFS (in case of unix).
FInally check permission by using chmod 777 in exportdump folder in case of unix.
Regards

NZ Library Error: Failed to open the wallet

I installed Oracle Http Server (Apache 2 distributed with Oracle 11g database software) in the same server (but in a different Oracle home) where I had installed Oracle 11g. The installation was fine. However, I haven't been able to start the Http Server at all. When I checked all the logs, I finally found the following error. What do I need to do?
NZ Library Error: Failed to open the wallet
Thanks.
Andy

I know it has been a long time since anyone has posted on this thread but I am hoping that Jay_Kard might get notified.
I have had almost exactly the same problem. I have about 50 reports that are available to users through InfoView, they have been around for a year or more. Suddenly a few weeks ago two of them stopped working, the users get the "Failed to make the connection" error.
I am using Crystal Reports 11.5 and Crystal Reports Server 11.5 with an ODBC connection to a SQL Server 2005 database. The 2 reports that are not working both use a series of dynamic prompts for the users to enter report parameters, but so do the others that continue to work well. Before reading this thread I had already tried a lot of the suggestions from this thread, I can't get anything to work. The ODBC DSN on the server is set up and named exactly like the DSN that I use for development, I have rebuilt the dynamic prompts used on these reports, I can't get these 2 reports to work.
One other odd thing is that I, with admin rights to all reports in InfoView, can view these failing reports both from Crystal and from InfoView following the same path as my users to access the reports. I don't know if that will help anyone figure out the problem.
Jay, if you happen to read this I would love to know if you were able to get your problem resolved, I may need the same solution.
Thanks.

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open Address Book database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just yesterday, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open Address Book database”. I think this error was caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system yesterday.
I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my address list, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the Address Book database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. I do NOT have an export file of the Palm address book or other databases. However, I do have five levels of backup history on my external Maxgor backup drive.
Specifically, on my current c drive I have files in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Handspring\WR\address
            address.bak                  5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
            address.dat                   5/24/2011
            Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
            Unfiled.ABA    3/28/2008
On my most recent backup of my system, there are the following files:
                        address.bak                 5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
                        address.dat                  5/12/2011
                        Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
                        Unfiled.ABA      3/28/2008
I have not listed the four older backup versions.
I haven’t tried any corrective measures yet (I don’t want to make matters worse) and am hoping that someone can guide me along the right path.
Is it possible for me to just rename the “current” address.dat file to something like address.SAV and then copy the Address.dat file file with date of 5/12/2011 into the current directory. Will the software then just use the older version of the data, or must I do something else.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the speedy response. However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me. All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function. Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database. Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?
So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop. I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop. However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
I have some questions now:
(1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)? If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
(2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database? Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
Thanks for your help.

Link error: Failed to open external module

Newbie question #2... I'm in chapter 5 of the tutorial, just added the button to calculate min and max values of the sinewave. I get two link errors when I try to run the program.
2 Project link errors:
Failed to open external module
Failed to open external module
If I comment out the MaxMin1D function and fudge the min and max values the program runs.
Any ideas?
The function I added is as follows which appears to be identical to the sample in the tutorial.
int CVICALLBACK FindMaxMin (int panel, int control, int event,
       void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
   ssize_t min_index;
   double min;
   ssize_t max_index;
   double max;
//   max = 5;
//   min = 3;
   switch (event)
       case EVENT_COMMIT:
           MaxMin1D(sine, 100, &max, &max_index, &min, &min_index);
           SetCtrlVal(panelHandle, PANEL_MAX, max);
           SetCtrlVal(panelHandle, PANEL_MIN, min);
           break;
       case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
           break;
   return 0;

I searched for analysis.h, found it and copied it to the same folder as sample1.c and the program now links and runs.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the configuration (not smart enough to know where to search)???
Thanks

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open To Do List database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just a couple days ago, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”. I think this error may have been caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system the day before.
I really don’t care about the To Do List data since I really don’t use it --- in fact, I haven’t used it in many months. However, I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my contacts, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the To Do List database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
Just guessing, I saved the todo.dat and todo.bak files by renaming them, and then renamed the todo.bak file to todo.dat. Then I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop application, but it failed with the same error “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”.
I also tried renaming all of the todo files so that none had a name of todo.dat or todo.bak. The result is that the Palm Desktop software still will not start up.
I think I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1, at least that is what the help text file seems to tell me.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you.

Your on the correct path by saving the data by renaming the files. But to resolve this error we need to remove the data all together. Since you no longer need this data if you just delete it then it should not matter. If Palm Desktop is giving this error but will not open I doubt that the data can be recovered in any event.

Post relates to: Palm Vx

I've seen a lot of people post a message that's basically like the problem I'm having. I'm sending this to everyone who had the same general type of question in hopes that my fix might cure your problem also.
My Palm Desktop (4.1.4) would open correctly the first time after installing, but after doing a hotsync it would crash every other time it was opened (using a Tungsten E). I'm running Windows XP Professional, and it would give an error saying "Windows XP has encountered an error and needs to close", or something like that.
I did the usual. Removed the program and reinstalled, which didn't work. I also went through the tedious process of uninstalling the software, then removing every registry entry by hand that referenced the Palm or Pocketmirror, which also didn't work.
I searched through the support files on palmone.com and found something that gave me an idea. It talked about removing a corrupted file to fix problems with the datebook. I hadn't been getting any errors pointing to a specific problem, but on a hunch I deleted the entire address folder out of the Palm directory. That did the trick!
A corrupted address book in the Palm Desktop software was keeping it from running. The problem was how to fix the corruption, which I eventually found on a menu option in the Palm Desktop software.
Below is the fix that worked for me. Caution! Only do this if you have all of the current info in your Palm, because it will erase what's on your Palm Desktop.
1. Go to your Palm folder on your pc (default install location is c:\palm) and open the folder for your user.
2. Delete the address, datebook, expense, memopad, note pad and todo folders.
3. Open the Palm Desktop program.
4. Do a hotsync.
5. Important! Don't click on anything else in the Palm Desktop after doing the hotsync. If you change to one of the areas that has corrupted data, it will immediately crash.
6. Right after doing the hotsync, click Tools on the top menu in the Palm Desktop, then Options. Click on the Tools tab and then click Check Now to fix the corrupted data.
7. Click OK.
That should hopefully get you running again. Let me know if that worked for you.

Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

Hi,
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
DC:windows Server 2008 R2
Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
There have 3 suggestion in this article:
1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
Doesnt's work.
2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
UDP 192.168.20.3:137 *:*
3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
We are not using IPV6.
This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
Please help to check this issue.
Thank you very much.

Hi Guo Ying,
I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
Final Resolution is as follows:
You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

Sorry my mistake, I double checked, the one I uninstalled is ODAC 10.2.0.2.20 and not ODAC 10.1.0.4.
But I have that error.
