Group Policy processing failure on 2008 when MIX Domain 2003 with DC 2008

Dear I try to add additional Windows 2008 Domain to My Domain controller 2003 and I ma Receiving Group policy error in DC 2008 With Event ID 1055
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer 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).

Hi,
Were there other error codes logged in Event Viewer?
Regarding Event ID 1055, the following article can be referred to for troubleshooting.
Event ID 1055 — Group Policy Preprocessing (Security)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727272(v=ws.10).aspx
Based on the report you posted, this issue may be related to FRS replication service. As a result, we can use ntfrsutl tool to check whether the replication service is healthy.
Regarding this point, the following articles can be referred to for more information.
Troubleshooting File Replication Service
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727056.aspx
Ntfrsutl
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh875636.aspx
In addition, we can also try doing a non-authoritative Sysvol restore on Windows Server 2008 DC to see whether the issue persists.

Group Policy Preferences File Copy - Access is Denied on 2003 but not 2008 R2

Hello,
I have created a GPO which copies a file from a network share into a new folder under Program Files. This policy works just fine on a Windows 2008 box, but not on 2003. I've used "psexec -i -s cmd.exe" to verify system account permission to the
share. I am able to successfully browse and copy files from the share as the system account on both boxes.
However, when the GPO attempts to perform the file copy, it does not work, and generates the following error message:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Group Policy Files
Event Category: (2)
Event ID: 4098
Date: 8/28/2013
Time: 3:32:12 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: Server01
Description:
The computer 'file.txt' preference item in the 'TXT File Copy {9176122B-1A50-4AB8-91D9-6E8553727E18}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
I am trying to avoid writing a login script, so I am hoping someone will be able to help me figure out why this works fine on Windows 2008 but not Windows 2003. Please note file names and paths are modified here for security reasons, but the principle is
the same.
My GPO is:
Computer Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Files
File (Target Path: c:\Program Files\path\to\file\file.txt)
Source file: \\share\path\to\file\file.txt
Destination File: c:\program files\path\to\file\file.txt

As a user, I am able to browse the share just fine using the alias. It is only when I try to access the share using the system account that I encounter a problem.
experiencing the exact same symptoms. in the tests below, server, client1, and client2 are all are native instances of microsoft windows server.
server: windows server 2008 R2 standard SP1
client1: windows server 2003 standard SP2
client2: windows server 2008 R2 standard SP1
registry setting "DisableLoopbackCheck": unconfigured on server; unconfigured on client1; unconfigured on client2
registry setting "DisableStrictNameChecking": configured as "1" on server; unconfigured on client1; unconfigured on client2
domain user on client1 attempt to access server by name: success
domain user on client1 attempt to access server by alias: success
domain user on client2 attempt to access server by name: success
domain user on client2 attempt to access server by alias: success
local system on client1 attempt to access server by name: success
local system on client1 attempt to access server by alias: failed (system error 5 has occurred. access is denied.)
local system on client2 attempt to access server by name: success
local system on client2 attempt to access server by alias: success
all tests done using "net view \\target", but similar results were seen when using "dir \\target\share" which the domain user and local system account have access to.
the differing behavior between client1 and client 2 suggests that server 2003 requires additional configuration to allow its local system account to access an SMB share by alias.
this problem prevents group policy features (such as software installation) from an aliased file server.

Please Help| group policy site failure

hey all, i have some big problem in my network.
i have 3 site named by city.
tel aviv-server 2012
beer sheva-server 2008r2
netanya-server 2008 r2
i crete gpo(computer management) that deny access to mmc.exe
computer management--->windows settings--->securtiy--->file system
and add---> %systemroot%/system32/mmc.exe and deny access to user.
now i go to check the gpo in client side with gpresult /scope computer /r and see that some computers in tel aviv site connected to netanya/beer sheva site.
what can i do ?
i have a situation that not matter what i do i cant release mmc.exe to users.

Hi eranvak,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm something more? Would you please descript how you configure
the group policy summarily? For example, when you create the GPO, where the GPO link to? Did you directly link GPO to the default Domain? Or in GPMC, right click the site and select
Link an Existing GPO…? Or any other I misunderstand, please feel free to let me know.
In addition, you descript “enable the inheritance option”, did you mean that just uncheck
Block Inheritance option?
Sorry for my confusion. Thanks for your understanding.
There are two articles for Group Policy Inheritance. Please refer to.

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

Windows 7 Group Policy Processing - EventID 1058

I am having an issue with Windows 7 clients refreshing group policy. When I run gpupdate the user policy refreshes and the moves on to the computer policies but fails displaying the error below. Replication topology checks out, dcdiag returns
no errors and sysvol permissions look ok too. Curiously the same policies apply just fine on windows xp pro systems. The Domain Controller is running Server 2008 Enterprise Edt R2 SP1, I see no 1030 eventid's on the domain controllers as others
frequently report with this error. The domain is running at Windows Server 2003 functional level but I have creaded a PolicyDefinitions folder in the sysvol for admx files etc. Where to go from here? Does anyone have any suggestions/insight
as to what the issue may be?
The sysvol and the gpt.ini file is accessible from the Windows 7 client using UNC path.
Thanks in advance for any assistance given.
The error code listed is 0 which is not mentioned in this article

Description:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file
\\abc123.net\SysVol\abc123.net\Policies\{EB062BE8-CAF6-47B4-9B8B-27A19268C520}\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.

I shortened this down a good bit but here is the gist of it, my question is which context/user/account is being denied access to the .ini files?  I have never used the streams utility but I'll give it a whirl and report back what I get. Most of
the cannot be accessed are probably just policies that are not applicable to the machine but the gpt.ini errors are baffling me.

Group Policy Administrative Templates not applying on Windows XP SP3 - Windows Server 2008 R2

I have a Windows 2008 R2 domain with windows 7, and Windows XP SP3 client workstations.
I have a group policy to deny all access to removable storage in policies/administrative templates/system in user configuration (actually its in the computer configuration as well)
The problem is the policy is having no effect on the Windows XP machines. It works perfectly on Windows 7 machines.
Group policy in general is working on the Windows XP machines, as I can successfully map drives, push out scheduled tasks, and push out printers. (All preferences I know and I have GP Preferences client side extensions installed).
Its almost like the windows XP machines can't "understand" the admin templates from Windows Server 2008 R2.
Do I need to install something on the windows XP machines? What could be the problem?

Simply read the "supported on" of these settings... Vista and above
required.

Group Policy changes cause Access Denied error for Domain Admin account

Hi All,
I am battling to get WSUS to work, and I think the route cause is problems editing the domain and domain controller group policy objects.
We have 1 DC, approx 20 clients. 1 GPO for DC, 1 GPO for clients. Ther e is a link to the default domain GPO in our staff (users) OU, I don't know if it should be there or not.
I log in as domain administrator, right-click the domain GPO in GPMC, click Edit.
Find the setting I want to edit (specify intranet microsoft update service location), double click.
Change something, click OK.
I get error:
Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continute.
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005
(E_ACCESSDENIED)).
I have followed the steps in the links posted by Brent in another post called: "restricting-domain-admin-account-to-edit-group-policies" (no links allowed for my account yet sorry) and the user does have edit settings, delete, modify security delecation.
PLEASE NOTE: the solution may very well be something very simple/basic. I am reasonably computer savvy, but have just upgraded the whole network for an NGO on a voluntary basis. Never seen a sever before I came here, but I'm the best they have. Please bare
that in mind when offering advice :)
Any help appreciated!

More diagnostic info:
Inside GPMC, there's Group Policy Results.
If I right-click, Result Wizard, choose this computer, it works fine showing default domain controllers policy with alert that it's enforced.
If I browse for another PC (it comes up as Domain\PC name), click Next, I get error:
Failed to connect to DOMAIN\PCNAME due to the error listed below. Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is enabled on the target computer, and consult the event log of the target computer for further details.
Details: the RPC server is unavailable.
If you need the recent related events, I will post them. I also checked that service on the client - it's automatic and started.
PPS Clients are all Win 7, PCs are 32bit, laptops are 64. Server is Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. WSUS when clicking Help -> About from the snap-in/GUI: 6.2.9200.16384.
PPPS Directory browsing for the whole WSUS object in IIS is enabled, thanks to SorinAlbu over at Spiceworks post WSUS and IIS.
PPPPS Launching IE and loading http://servername:8530/iuident.cab fails 404 error from both clients and server. That file in C:\Program Files\Update Services\WebServices\Root\iuident.cab doesn't exist. Maybe because we recently removed the WSUS role and reinstalled
it, to check if something went wrong the first time? It's all been configured using the snapin/GUI, but the new installation of the role hasn't yet connected to the Microsoft Update servers.
PPPPPS Added the Application Server role with default settings as recommended by the step by step guide to WSUS at Technet. Still no dice.

Windows CAL server 2003 and Domain Server with a 2008 server as domain member

We have a Windows Server 2003 as domain controller with 70 user CALs, and we have added a Windows 2008 R2 OEM with 5 users licences.
I have no plans to migrate my domain controller 2003 to 2008 but the 2008 is a member of the domain and I need to know if we are fine with the licences.
Thanks for your help,
Alejandro Sueldo

Hi
You need CAL for anything that would access the 2008. If a server that is accessed by only 5 user you are ok, but if like a Exchange for your 70 users, then you have to buy more CAL. (that link explain it good;

Work Folders - Specific Group Policy's that are needed to satisfy domain client security level

Hi All,
We have Work Folders successfully set up on our domain. A non domain joined client can connect and gain access to their work folder share without issue.
I am now in the process of setting up domain connected laptops that will be used by staff. These laptop will have restrictions on them and the users that logon will not have admin privileges.
The work folder server has the device policies of:
Encrypt Work Folders
Automatically lock screen, and require a password
We are using Windows 8.1 enterprise clients, with the latest patches. If I turn off the "Automatically lock screen...." policy, a domain user can successfully sync their work. If I turn it back on they get the below error:
"Make sure that your account is an administrator on the PC and that all administrator accounts on this PC have a password."
I have set the group polices that I believe might effect this message, but have yet to get a successful sync. Could someone give me the exact group policies I would need to set for client to meet the security requirements.
Minimum password length of 6
Autolock screen set to be 15 minutes or less
Maximum password retry of 10 or less

Hi,
Work Folders provides the two device policies that administrators can control. The policies are enforced on the Windows 8.1 clients before data sync is allowed.
The policy settings are not configurable, and they are enforced on the devices running with Windows 8.1 through the EAS Engine.
Please refer to the article below to troubleshoot the issue:

Error browsing SSAS 2008 cube on Windows 7 with SSMS 2008 R2 Client

I recently have upgraded to Windows 7 and SSMS 2008R2 and I'm trying to browse a cube through SSMS and I'm getting the following error below after connecting and trying to browse. I have verified that I have .Net 3.5 with SP1 installed. I also
was able to connect to the cube using Excel verifying that I'm able to authenticate and connect to the cube. One side note, I do have Office 2010 and I'm not sure how this plays into the equation.

Server 2008 R2 does not show Internet Explorer 10/11 Group Policy options

Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that has IE11 installed. I am attempting to create a GPO to control Proxy settings for IE10/11 clients, however, when I go to User Config>Preferences> Control Panel Settings> Internet Settings and Right click,
I do not see an option for IE10, only IE5 and 6, IE7, and IE8.
I have downloaded and installed the Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer from
here, and followed the installation instructions, but still, the option does not show up. I have ensured that all the latest Windows Updates are installed on the server, and rebooted
the server a couple times.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box is available to users.
If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Properties menu items are disabled for all users, and users cannot open the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when users right-click the icon representing a LAN connection. Also, when users select the connection, Properties is enabled on the File menu.
Note: This setting takes precedence over settings that manipulate the availability of features inside the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. If this setting is enabled, nothing within the properties dialog box for a LAN connection is available to
users.
Note: Nonadministrators have the right to view the properties dialog box for a connection but not to make changes, regardless of this setting." gpmc_settingname="Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" gpmc_settingpath="User Configuration/Administrative

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the check boxes for enabling and disabling components are disabled. As a result, administrators cannot enable or disable the components that
a connection uses.
Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties dialog box for a connection includes a check box beside the name of each component that the connection uses. Selecting the check box enables the component, and clearing the check box disables
the component.
Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the check boxes for enabling and disabling the components of a LAN connection.
Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from enabling or disabling components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting." gpmc_settingname="Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection" gpmc_settingpath="User

I get a Group Policy Disk Quota failure at every system start

This is very long, my apologies
I asked this question about a month ago and then had some medical problems so I'm starting over again.
Whenever I start my system I get a message on the screen that the system is trying to run Group Policy for Disk Quotas. To my knowledge I've never set a disk quota policy and I can't find any indication that one is currently set. I freely admit
that I could be responsible for this. I might have done something in the early days of the system because it wasn't happening for the first month or two.
This time I did more reading and found a procedure on TechNet at:
"http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749336(WS.10).aspx" which led me step by step through the procedure, although I still can't make sense of the results.
So far I've verified that there are no policies set and that all the hard drives (3) have the Disk Quota bit 'disabled'. I did this as 'Administrator'.
The results from the TechNet procedure turned out to be quite long but I'm listing it here in hope that someone in the community will be familiar with this problem and be able to use the information to figure out the problem.
Here are the results:
From: TechNet Group Policy Testing
( "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749336(WS.10).aspx" )
1 - Troubleshooting using the Group Policy operational log
   a - Determine the instance of Group Policy processing
   (Before you view the Group Policy operational log, you must first determine
   the instance of Group Policy processing that failed.)
My ActivityID from the Group Policy operational log = C87E5BC2-FD21-4794-B678-787AB587D8D5
2 - Create a custom view, via a query, of the Group Policy instance
My resultant query:
<QueryList><Query Id="0" Path="Application"><Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational">*[System/Correlation/@ActivityID='{C87E5BC2-FD21-4794-B678-787AB587D8D5}']</Select></Query></QueryList>
3 - Results of running the query from step 2 are listed below, in chronological order, including the complete 'detail' sections from each event.

Did you ever have luck tracking this down? Im getting this error and have no clue where it is coming from. I have not enabled gp disk quotas, but I do have a network share on a domain member server that has quotas attached to each users folder.
I removed the quotas and still get this error when I manually perform a gpupdate.

Request for Sticky #2 - Advanced Group Policy Troubleshooting Help

GPOMG!
Group Policy driving you crazy? Here are some advanced troubleshooting tools (beyond RSOP, GPRESULT, etc.) that may be helpful. For first level troubleshooting, check out this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787386(v=WS.10).aspx
EVENT VIEWER (NEW & IMPROVED!)
Event viewer in Windows 7 has more detail about Group Policy. Start your event viewer (may need to run as an admin. account). Navigate to:
Applications and Services Logs>Microsoft>Windows>GroupPolicy>Operational
Here you will find events that are related to Group Policy processing. You can determine how long it takes to run the various pieces of your particular GP as well as diagnostic information that can be very helpful when trying to figure out what is happening
with GP.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749336(WS.10).aspx
Events 4016 and 5016 show the start and end of processing of groups of policies, including how long it took to apply each one in the end event.
Event 5312 shows policies that will be applied, and 5317 shows policies that are explicitly filtered out.
Events 8000 and 8001 respectively show the total processing time for computer boot and user boot GP processing, and 8006 and 8007 show the same for interim/periodic GP processing.
GPLOGVIEW TOOL
A similar tool is called GPLOGVIEW. You must run this from the elevated command prompt. It will produce a XML, HTML, or simple text file of the GP events for export and review. You can even do a live monitor while you run GPUPDATE /force.

GPSVR/GPSVC LOG FILE
If the normal tricks above don’t provide you with enough information, this should do it! There is a service called
GPSVR that gives you everything you ever wanted to know about Group Policy running on your workstation. Here is how to get more information from the GPSVR service in Windows 2008/Visa/Win 7.
Step 1: Enable logging in the Gpsvc.log file. To enable logging in the Gpsvc.log file, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK (might want to backup your registry first).
Make sure that you have the folder %windir%\debug\usermode, if the usermode folder is not there, then manually create it.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
Type Diagnostics, and then press ENTER.
Right-click the Diagnostics subkey, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type GPSvcDebugLevel, and then press ENTER.
Right-click GPSvcDebugLevel, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 30002 (as hex), and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
Reboot machine.
At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: gpupdate /force
You will find the Gpsvc.log file in the following folder: %windir%\debug\usermode
Step 2: I use Notepad ++ to analyze this log file. It can help you troubleshoot, step, by step what GP is doing as your workstation/user is getting logged in. Timing, access/permission issues, SID information and more are all included
in this log file.
Step 3: When you are done, change the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics|GPSvcDebugLevel to 0x00000000 to disable the debug log or else it will continue to grow.
