Group Policy issue - Bandwidth detection failed

Hi
We have a major issue affecting multiple users (>100) where they are unable to login to the machine.It looks like core windows services do not start such as DHCPClient, EventLog, UserProfileService.
Looking at the events on the pc I can see the following events:
Event 6314
Group policy bandwidth estimation failed. Group policy processing will continue. Assuming fast link.
Event 6323
Group Policy dependency (Network Location Awareness) did not start. As a result, network related features of Group Policy such as bandwidth estimation and response to network changes will not work.
I can see the NLA service started but I am worried alot more machines will become unusable. A change was made to group policy regarding searching items in the start menu
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar
Do not search files

Do not search Internet

Remove Games link from Start Menu

Remove Network icon from Start Menu

Remove Run menu from Start Menu
Disabled
Remove the networking icon

Remove the volume control icon

Remove user's folders from the Start Menu

The clients are mostly Vista SP2 with some Windows 7. DCs are Server 2008.
Any help in resolving this much appreciated.

Hi,
>>Group Policy dependency (Network Location Awareness) did not start. As a result, network related features of Group Policy such as bandwidth estimation and response to network changes will not work.
Network Location Awareness service is a needed service for processing group policy settings since Windows Vista. It helps check the network location of the computers and helps detect slow link when processing group policy settings.
Before going further, does this happen to all clients in our environment? Please check our network configuration and make sure that the clients are able to correctly communicate with DCs. Besides, we can try to reinstall network
adapters to see if it helps. Moreover, please further check event logs to see if some other error events were logged.
Here, we can also try to clean boot our clients to troubleshoot if this is caused by some third party services or applications.
Regarding how to perform clean boot, the following article can be referred to for more information.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
In addition, if everything goes clean, we can try to delay the application of Group Policy at startup by following the procedure described in the Resolution section in the article below to see if it helps.

  • "Group Policy Registry" (CSE) is failing with EventID 7016

    Hi,
    I'm stuck at troubleshooting the group policy processing on a W2k8 R2 Terminal Server. On this machine the CSE Group Policy Registry Component is failing with ErrorCode 11. (I'm sorry but the editor does not allow me to insert xml yet)
    I was not able to find any source in technet or msdn regarding Group Policy Registry ErrorCode 11 nor able to get any further debugging operable, that gives me more hands-on-details on this problem. Furthermore I was not able to determine the GPO causing
    the CSE failing, neither with RSOP nor Eventlogs.... With the group policy modeling wizard i just get "GP Registry failed" listed in Component State Overview with the subtle message "An attempt was made to load a file with an incorrect format."
    How can i get to the bottom of this?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Event ID 7016 can be caused by the fact that there is issue with the gpprefcl.dll build installed on the client machines.
    To fix the issue, we can try applying the following hotfix to update the build of gpprefcl.dll.
    Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2 may stop responding at the Welcome screen after you enter the user credentials to log on to the computer
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2526870/en-us
    In addition, the following hotfix can also be worth taking a look.
    Some Group Policy preferences are not applied successfully on computers that are running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979731/en-us
    Hope it helps.

    Hi,
    Based on the description, the Sysvol is replicated by FRS service.
    >>some policies at the main DC are not updated like same policies in second DC.
    In this case, we can do a non-authoritative restore on the main DC.
     To do so:   
    Click Start, and then click
    Run.
    In the
    Open box, type cmd and then press ENTER.
    In the
    Command box, type net stop ntfrs.
    Click Start, and then click
    Run.
    In the
    Open box, type regedit and then press ENTER.
    Locate the following subkey in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup
    In the right pane, double-click
    BurFlags.
    In the
    Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type D2 and then click OK.
    Quit Registry Editor, and then switch to the
    Command box.
    In the
    Command box, type net start ntfrs.
    Quit the
    Command box.
    Regarding reinitializing File Replication Service replica sets, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Group Policy - Issues deploying software packages through GPO

    Hello everyone,
    I am having issues successfully deploying MSI packages through group policy.  I have set my computer account up in its own test OU in my domain, but yet the software will not deploy.  Example, I'm trying to deploy AVG Anti-Virus and make sure it
    is installed on each and every PC in my domain.  As for the GPO, I set it up as an assigned package and pointed to the location of the package with the UNC file path (visible to both the DC and my computer that is part of the affected OU)
    On the domain controller, I get these messages in application event logs:
    Beginning a Windows Installer transaction: \\hs-dc2\software\avg\installavg.msi. Client Process Id: 9048.
    Ending a Windows Installer transaction: \\hs-dc2\software\avg\installavg.msi. Client Process Id: 9048.
    This shows up when I refresh GP on my computer.  I run gpresult /h GPReport.html and get the following message:
    Software Installation failed due to the error listed below.
    Fatal error during installation.
    Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in the console or the application event log for events between
    The software is in a share on the domain controller that is visible from my computer, and permissions are set where "Everyone" has read access.  I have tested the package on my computer and it installs
    correctly if I do it manually, so it's a good package. 
    I'm at a loss.  I am admitedly very new to GP management, but I'm pretty sure I have covered all my bases here.  I humbly ask for any and all help that you all can provide.
    Thank you all very much, have a great weekend!

    > Magnolia_Schools.exe
    What's that???
    > \\hs-dc2\software\avg\installavg.msi
    > <file://\\hs-dc2\software\avg\installavg.msi> /qb addeploy=1
    /qb ADDEPLOY=1
    Uppercase matters (:
    A bissle "Experience", a bissle GMV... Wenn meine Antwort hilfreich war, freue ich mich über eine Bewertung! If my answer was helpful, I'm glad about a rating!
    I should have explained, my apologies.  The InstallAVG.msi is the package I have GP deploying.  it is a package that AVG wrote for us that goes in, uninstalls the two previous antivirus softwares we have on our network if it is present, and
    then wraps it to run magnolia_schools.exe which installs the AV software.  I am uninstalling AVG now and will try reinstalling with
    \\hs-dc2\software\avg\installavg.msi /qb ADDEPLOY=1 and report back.
    also, the only logs I found that were around the time of the install attempt were such as these:
    1: 2905 2: C:\windows\system32\appmgmt\MACHINE\{06ee0d46-cd5f-4216-a09f-2aeb573aa5ba}.aas
    1: 2905 2: C:\windows\system32\appmgmt\MACHINE\{06ee0d46-cd5f-4216-a09f-2aeb573aa5ba}.aas
    Does that tell you anything?
    I will say this, if this means anything...now that AVG is installed, the event logs are changing from an error %%1603 to this:
    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 : %%1274
    The removal of the assignment of application exe2msiSetupPackage from policy Install AVG failed. The error was : %%2
    So it acts like it's at least seeing that the package is installed...and reacting differently, correct?
    Thanks so much

    Hi,
    Before going further, I have to admit that I made a mistake and Paul is right.
    >>But i am not able to change the security settings in IE like adding sites in Trusted sites its grayed out.
    If we don’t want to allow users to change this setting, we can configure this setting via native policy and the following blog can be referred to as reference.
    Internet Explorer 10 – Add Sites To The Trusted Sites Zone With Group Policy
    http://johnfail.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/internet-explorer-10-add-sites-to-the-trusted-sites-zone-with-group-policy/
    If we want to allow users to change this setting, we can configure this setting via GPP Registry.
    Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.
    Add Trusted Sites Via GPO but still allow users to add trusted sites

  • Windows 7 DNS and Group Policy Issues

    Hi,
    We have several suites of Windows 7 domain connected PC's.
    In one of the suites I have been called into look at 3 different PC's where the users have not got mapped drives, desktop backgrounds, internet connectivity - because their group policies have not applied.
    When I look at the error logs I find DNS 1014 errors, and Group Policy 1054 errors.
    I have looked at the logs on the switches, and there is nothing on them - Could a pupil pulling the network cable out cause these errors?... Possibly they could have put it back in before I got back in the room.
    The user logs off of the PC and back on again and are fine, as are the users that logon after them.
    We have 2 DC's/DNS servers, which I would have thought would be able to cope with the load here.
    Please let me know what you think the likely cause could be.

    Hello John555444,
    What is your current situation?
    Is this issue resolved?

  • Urgent Group Policy Issue - not applying despite saying it does

    Thank you for this urgent help. Auditors checking this out tomorrow morning.
    We have a GPO that sets the eventlog audit settings for success or failure security events. The scope is set to Authenticated Users.
    When I run the group policy wizard in GPMC it shows the settings applying to one of our servers in that OU.
    When I run gpresult/z from that server it shows the policy applying to that server.
    But when I go into gpedit.msc the security audit settings are all set to "not defined" and they are grayed out so I can't edit them manually.
    As a test I set the GPO to deny applying to that server. I ran gpudpate/force on the system and then gpresult and it shows the GPO now not applying. But the settings are still set to not defined and still not editable. they are not being set by any other GPO.
    In the event logs I only see three GPO errors but they are unrelated. A separate GPO is having issues creating user accounts. No other GPOs apply.
    Quick help would be fantastic.
    Server runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 (I can edit GPO but not the domain ones and I don't have access to the domain controllers).

    OK, After several hours I figured it out. Turns out there's bugs and odd functionality.
    If someone ever tested the 'advanced audit settings' (which I did in the same GPO at some point) then it sets a registry key to disable the use of the older basic audit settings. But when you stop using those advanced settings in your GPO it doesn't remove
    that registry bit. So I used the GPO to undo that setting. This was the first step. This is found Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > "Audit: Force audit policy subcategory
    settings (Windows Vista or later) to override audit policy category settings" to DISABLED.
    Even though this is done, sometimes the GPO files on the domain controllers don't remove the old audit settings. So in the comments of another thread I found out you may have to go to
    \\domain-fqdn\SYSVOL\domain-fqdn\Policies\{your-policy-id-where-this-setting-was-originally-set}\Machine\Microsoft\Windows NT\ and delete the Audit folder which is left behind due to some odd bug. If you don't do this even after doing the next step the
    next gpupdate will bring that security setting above back down.
    Next you have to reset your audit settings on your PC to the defaults. Unfortunately there is no way to do this. Auditpol /clear does not accomplish this. The only way to do this is to take the audit settings from another working system, export them and
    then 'restore' those same settings to the affected server. To do this:
    1. On 'working system' run cmd.exe as administrator and export the audit settings to a folder like this:
    auditpol /backup /file:c:\working-auditpol-settings.txt
    2. Copy that file to the broken system such as the C:\ drive and run this on the broken system:
    auditpol /restore /file:c:\working-auditpol-settings.txt
    Open GPEDIT.MSC and verify the audit settings are back to normal. Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Audit Policy
    Then run gpupdate/force on the formerly broken system. Close gpedit.msc and reopen and verify the settings were not overwritten. If you skipped the sysvol audit folder deletion step they may come back.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Strange DNS, Group Policy & Active Directory Issues - Can't track down root issue!

    For the last few weeks, we've been getting complaints, from our developers, about not being able to authenticate on various systems.  The issues were hit & miss but still problematic enough to warrant our looking into it.  It seems to be getting
    worse...  I now have new servers that aren't getting group policy updates.  They may get some, like the list of local admins but won't pick up NTFS permissions for folder-access.  Those that pick up the AD group full of local admins have trouble
    authenticating members of the group.  Some were showing event log entries regarding authentication issues due to being unable to contact an AD DC.  We reloaded that DC but many of the issues still persist.  At this point, I'm running
    out of places to look for ideas.  I've spent the last week looking up Event Log IDs and looking though their meanings and possible remedies but, again, the issues persist.  It doesn't seem to matter what the OS is.  We've been seeing
    this on 2008, 2008-R2 & 2012-R2.
    Here are some examples of events I'm seeing.  I can't figure out the root cause(s).

  • Event 4098, Group Policy Local Users and Groups

    Hello,
    A few of our computers on the network are not replacing the local "Administrator (built-in)"account with our administrator account we set up through Group Policy. I recieve the follow error message from the Applicaiton Logs. I'm
    not sure if this error is a PC issue instead of a Group Policy issue, because Group Policy seems to be working fine on our other PCs. Any suggestions/ideas would be helpful. Thank you.
    Error message: The computer "Administrators (built-in) preference item in the "Security Policies {CD8199AF-99A8-41F8-8D28-C92DD9C57A51}" Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070526 The specified group policy
    already exists.' This error was suppressed.

    Hi,
    It seems that you have configured this security policy already, you can try run GPupdate /force command and then check if all security policies are applied in your computer:
    Resultant Set of Policy
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772175.aspx
    you can use this command to retrieve the specific group policy:

  • After migrating a windows 7 machine using ADMT Group policy shows the the computer is from the new domain but user is from old domain

    We have migrated machines using ADMT tool but we have found some window 7 machines Group policy issues.  We see that the computer GP is getting from the new domain but the users profile still has the old domain GP information.  Any help on
    removing the old GP objects and forcing the new domain User policy would be great.  We have tried the basic troubleshooting gpupdate /force reboot etc.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delayed response.
    First, please verify whether these domain users you mentioned belong to old domain or new domain.
    If they belong to old domain the GP is right with no problem. If they belong to new, try following suggestions.
    Please test these steps in one of the problematic computer. If it worked, then go on for others.
    To avoid unexpected problems, please backup your register keys before following steps:
    Open regedit.exe, and delete following keys:
    HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft Key (looks like a folder).
    HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft Key.
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects Key.
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies key
    Exit the registry and restart.
    Note: HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER

  • Group Policy Startup Script Applies My Policy But Does Not Run The Acual Scripts

    I have created a basic batch file with msiexec.exe to uninstall a program on startup and then another separate .bat script to install the same program but the newer version. The software I'm referring to has to be completely uninstalled BEFORE
    I install the "newer" version of the same program, it cannot just be overwritten. If I run a gpupdate /force on the client computer and restart, the scripts run as they are supposed to and everything works but the problem is that I can't get it to
    run on first boot on a computer that has been turned off for months, even after multiple reboots it still doesn't run the scripts. The 3 policies apply to the different computers/users but the scripts don't run. I manage a theme park that is
    only open 4 months of the year so the rest of the time the in park PC's are turned off. I have created my OU as "POS Computers & Users" which has all of the computers and users that will take this policy. I also have 3 Group Policy
    Objects attached to this OU in Group Policy, 1 is the program uninstallation .bat script policy that runs on startup, 2 is the install .bat script policy that runs after the uninstallation script, and 3 is the Default Policy for the OU. I already have the
    "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon", "Run startup scripts visible"enabled, "Run startup scripts asynchronously" disabled, and "Run Logon Scripts Synchronously" enabled for all 3 of the
    policies. They are all "link enabled" and security filtering is set to only the OU I mentioned earlier so that it doesn't affect anyone else. I have the link order set as the script I want to run first as the last and the one I want to run last first
    because from what I understand inheritance is from bottom to top. The install file is accessible by everyone with full permissions on our "Shared" drive so I know its not a permissions issue because it runs after a gpupdate /force with a restart.
    The scripts are in the proper folder for the policies they are attached to and permissions are fine.
    Here is my uninstall .bat script (msiexec.exe /X{14324A6A-BDD1-4F40-8E77-664C8AEEA251} /forcerestart /qb-! ALLUSERS=1 REMOVE=ALL)
    Here is my install .bat script (msiexec.exe /i {\\kksrvad\shared\Gatemaster\NewGatemaster.msi} /qb ALLUSERS=1)

    Can't be done in a login script.
    This is a Group Policy issue and not a scripting issue.  You do not have a script.  You have a command saved in a batch file and you are using a GPO.  Not a scripting issue.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller

    We are setting up a new AD environment  with one AD/DC running DNS services,  and a secondary DNS server configured with secondary zone. The problem is that none of the machines in the the domain are getting GPO.
    When I run a gpupdate /force from a machine, I get the following output:
    "Updating Policy...
    User Policy update has completed successfully.
    Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were enc
    ountered:
    The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to
     a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would
     be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group
     Policy has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for sever
    al hours, then contact your administrator.
    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."
    While the system event log outputs the following:
    "The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy
    has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for several hours, then contact your administrator." 
    All the machines that were joined to the domain are able to resolve in forward and reverse lookups, ping the DC and ping each other so  I dont understand how the error can be resolved.
    Here are few things I have tried:
    1. I came across this KB which checked ok for me: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241515
    2. Made a copy of the default GPO, applied to a OU with one machine, and made sure to remove any GPO links from above
    3. Enabled the following  two local Group policies on a test member:
    GP slow link detection
    Startup policy processing wait time
    4. Modified firewall to allow everything on both member and DC
    5. Verified DSN logs, SRV records, access to sysvol ( added authenticated users to sysvol)
    I have yet to figure out the reason for this issue. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

    1. I checked the NIC, it only has one IP. and I followed your article. I set the primary DNS to its own IP and the secondary DNS to the loopback ip
    2. This is a new DC and DNS server. I dont have old records yet. I also check the DNS event logs. No errors
    3. I made sure the member server is pointing only to the only DC/DNS server
    4. Here is the output from the dcdiag....  everything passed except, the Netlogons part. I'm not sure what means or how to fix it yet:

  • 11.5.2.602 Group Policy Installation issues

    Consider the following scenario:
    BigCorp wants to deploy a limited amount of software to their MS Windows desktop service, such that they can provide a rich browsing experience at login after a machine is joined to the domain.  To facilitate this, they deploy browser plug-ins such as Flash and Shockwave using group policy software installation (GPSI).
    This is a sensible decision, as there are vendor provided MSIs available to use and it ensures that the software is easily managed (upgrades, removal etc)
    When attempting to deploy Shockwave v11.5.2.602 an incorrect repair of the MSI is triggered on first use of the software for each user.
    On a standalone, otherwise clean, Windows XP SP3 machine with IE7:
    1. Install the software as a user with the correct rights (AdminUser), using the MSI direct from Adobe. 
    2. Logout AdminUser and Login StandardUser
    3. Visit http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/  - At this point the MSI runs a repair and logs the following to the application event log:

    *** Please note the path in EventID 1004 above (C:\Documents and Settings\AdminUser\Application Data\Adobe\) has been generated whilst logged in as StandardUser NOT AdminUser. ***
    This condition will always be true, since there is no read permission on another users profile for a standard user account.  Granting this right is not desirable in a roaming profile environment. This repair will be triggered for each and every user of the machine.
    Though this repair appears to be non-destructive and doesn't appear to inhibit successful removal, it is undesirable behaviour.
    Furthermore, and as other have mentioned, loading a shockwave item in a browser (IE7 in our case) also results in the following entry in the system event log:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: DCOM

    Happened while starting this command:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE" -Embedding
    We are keen to move to the latest version of Shockwave, for the obvious reasons, but these issues are going to make it difficult to get through our change management processes; as the package doesn't meet the requirements we have laid out for our user experiences.
    Can someone at Adobe comment on the reason for this undesirable behaviour and how it came about? Can we expect later versions of Shockwave to exhibit the same behaviour?

    Hi,
    I have posted an MST file which fixes this and other issues to the following thread here:

  • The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported

    Hi guys,
    we created a custom WIM Image (Windows 8 Enterprise) with MDT 2012.
    Sysprept the Image, Deployed via SCCM 2012 SP1.
    Computers are Domainjoined. Error with standard Domain User.
    On some computers (not every computer) and not with every user on the first logon following error message arises:
    The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported
    It works, when you log in a second time but this error isn't very nice. 
    Is there a solution for that?
    Kind Regards
    Martin

    Hi,
    The service is responsible for applying settings configured by administrators for the computer and users through the Group Policy component. This issue can be caused by various reasons based on the computer environment.
    Can you find any information in event log about this issue?
    Here is the related blog in which the steps can solve most of such issues if the issue continuously happen.

  • The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file...

    Hello all-
    I am currently trying to configure group policy (specifically folder redirects) from a new Windows Server 2008 in my home... the server acts as both an AD DS and file server for 4 client computers, all running Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Here are the steps I am currently taking:
    I create a new Group Policy called All Users and Computers and apply it to the All Users and Computers OU, which contains exactly what it says (all users and computers in the domain).
    I verify that a new folder was created in \\<FQDN>\sysvol\<FQDN>\Policies.  The new folder created is named {6479C8E0-3134-4B4F-B047-7ADD51684684}
    I change the GPO Enforced setting to Enforced.
    I attempt to use the gpupdate command to see if the group policy can be updated successfully.  In a command prompt, I type gpupdate <enter>.  I receive the message 'Updating Policy...' then after about 15 seconds the message 'User Policy update has completed successfully.'
    I keep the cmd window open.  After about 10 seconds another message apperas which says "Computer policy could not be updated successfully.  The following errors were encountered: The processing of Group Policy failed.  Windows attempted to read the file \\<FQDN>\sysvol\<FQDN>\Policies\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04Fb984F9}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful.  Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient 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.
    To diagnose the failure, review the event log or invoke gpmc.msc to access information about Group Policy results."
    I confirm that the error code is #3 using the Event Log, "The system cannot find the file specificed"
    Of course the system cannot find the file specified because the folder does not exist in the sysvol folder. I am wondering why Windows is trying to read from this location when it does not exist, and is not the new group policy I created!  I have no other group policies linked or enforced to any other OU/Domain/etc.  Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello all and thanks for the help.  First a few things:
    I understand that the DC should not be running RRAS, but this a simple server being used in aa home environment by 4 users and getting another server just for RRAS would be overkill.
    Secondly, I currently have it so that while the router is handling DHCP, I have reserved a fixed IP for the server, so it always has 192.168.1.100.  If I were to use the server as the DHCP, what would my hardware configuration have to look like?  I currently have the router plugged into the ISP modem, and then server plugged into the router.  All other clients connect to the router wirelessly.
    Here's the dcdiag output.  I tried dcdiag /fix but to no avail.
