Unable to view settings tab in one GPO. "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I am the owner of this GPO and I can view the settings tab in any other GPO. But, I get the following message when I try to view the settings tab in one particular GPO:
An error occurred while generating report:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Other posts I look at reference the same error, but with different circumstances, and thus, they specify that the hotfix is for to fix the error under
those circumstances.
I'm accessing GPMC on a Win 7 SP1 machine. DC is Server 2012 Standard.

You can filter ADM templates to show configured ones only, and you can
use the "show all settings" node. This will speed the work up - a little
bit at least :)

GPM Custom GPO-Settings: An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,
As you can tell from the title of this question, I am no expert with GPO's. Before I begin, I spent a few minutes to an hour searching and reading in hopes of finding the solution and avoid putting myself out there as a "GPO Newb". While
I found several posts and answers that were similar and were related, the questions and answers were more advanced and did present the solutions providing the person had initial knowledge already. That is not necessarily my case and I would ask for a
little patience and a bit of 'hand-holding' for what I need.
I run SBS 2011, and in Group Policy Management I have a custom GPO. In this GPO I define all my settings. I understand this may not be the best or most practical method of applying policies, but I am not very strict and have few settings. This
policy existed prior to my joining the company, and was migrated in to this SBS '11 from SBS '03. That may be the issue, but before making any changes I am seeking expert advice.
When I select that GPO, named "Main GPO", and click on the tab at the top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I saw that when I right click the GPO > View > Options and select the tab "Reporting" that it states that for reporting to work the location of the .adm files must be specified. I see that my option for the location is set to "Default"
which by my guessing would be located in the C:\Windows\sysvol directory. Below is what I see there:
C:\Windows\sysvol\domain
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging areas
C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol
I think the problem is that my custom GPO are not inside the default location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which I do see some objects there).
But instead I also see items in this folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies (while where I just typed 'JOHN.LOCAL' is my actual local domain).
To further this, when I edit that custom GPO, then at the very top of the tree I right click on it and select Properties, I see a Unique Name listed there as a long string of numbers and letters, similar to a registry entry. I searched my server for
that same Unique Name and found it listed inside the folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
If I am correct with my assumption and basic knowledge, I should move all objects as follows:
-Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
-Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
My concerns are that I am not correct at all, that I will break something, that there may be an easier fix than moving anything, or that I am overlooking something causing this error altogether.
Thank you for anyone's help and time with assisting me with this request.

> top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating

That's due to a security setting (most possibly) your current OS does
not understand. Hard to find out wich exact setting it is... To resolve
this issue, we need the gtpptmpl.inf file residing in the policiy's
sysvol folder. To open this folder, edit the policy, move to computer
settings - policies - windows settings - scripts - startup, press "show
files". Then move two folders upwards and back down to
.\microsoft\windows nt\secedit. There you'll see the gpttmpl.inf - post
its contents and we'll have a look at it.

That's perfectly ok - JOHN.LOCAL in fact is a symlink pointing to "domain".
> all objects as follows:
> -Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
> -Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
No.

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" after view selection

Hello,
I have a Visual Studio LightSwitch project where I connect to a Oracle server and select a view as a new data source.
I get a error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" after selecting the Oracle view as a data source.
The Visual Studio Log shows me following details in the ActivityLog:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object on clicking BI Tab

Hi,
I have installed Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.6.0 for 32 bit Office on Windows XP, Microsoft Word 10.
However, after successful installation, when I open word and click on BI Publisher Tab , it throws error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
Please help me resolve this setup issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
This is a general error message. I would ask the following questions to verify the issue:
1. Are these charts inside the table?
2. Does the table display fine? What’s the size of the report and charts?
Please try download the latest cumulative update package for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 from the following link and see if it address the issue:

You can also capture the screenshots regarding the issue so that I can understand

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Unable to finish the SQL 2012 installation on a VM Machine

Hi, My name is Leonard and I am studying SQL. I have downloaded the newest MS SQL 2012 and also MS 2012 Hyper-V. I have set a MS 2012 Hyper-V on a laptop with AMD Turion 64 X2 and 3G of RAM (Planing
to add more to max at 8G).
Following the instructions in the free online
Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases” Training Kit, I have set 6 virtual machines as instructed in the Training Kit. While the installation of the MS Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 completed with no
problem, the same cannot be said for the SQL Server 2012 installation. I have encountered an error that I have not seen anyone address in any of the SQL web forums.
After running the unattended setup instruction (Setup.exe /qs /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLEngine /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER
/SQLSVCACCOUNT="Njowa\Pa$$worD>" /SQLSVCPASSWORD=" Pa$$worD” /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Njowa\lenny#4!@" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service"
/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS) this is what I get after a series SQL setup
initiation windows popups then disappears.
The following error occurred:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Error result: -2147467261
Result facility Code: 0
Result error Code: 16387
Please review the summary.txt log for further details
My question is: What instance of an object is not properly initialize in the Setup instructions

Hello,
Please note that SQL Server requires at least 1 GB of RAM. The operating system (Windows Server) requires 2 GB of RAM (recommended) or 512 MB (minimum). This means any virtual machine that will receive the installation of a SQL Server instance requires 1.5
or 2 GB at least.
The behavior of SQL Server setup tells me that the virtual machine does not have enough memory assigned or .NET Framework 3.5 was not enable on Control Panel->Program
and Features before trying to install SQL Server.
The following thread is about another possible cause of this error:

That error you're getting is a typical error message from Windows web services. It simply means there was something unspecified that was wrong with your message. You'll need to find a way to extract the actual message being sent in both the "good" and "bad" cases and look at the differences. You can do that in ALSB with a "Log" action.

Title: Confusion Related to New G/L?
Discussion Body:
Hi,
Management is thinking for implementing New G/L in my Company and we have to prepare the presentation for that. I am not sure of few points though I have searched already but unable to find out anything which clears my doubts which are as follows:
1) Can we implement new G/L In-house or do we have to get it done from external sources or SAP only?
2) Can we achieve IFRS and GAAP reporting through segment reporting in house or not. Does that require any other cost as we are already on ECC6.0 but new g/l is not activated?
3) Is it mandatory to get the Data Migration done from SAP or can we do it In-house as well?
4) If one knows the approx. cost if we get it done from external sources at each point on in total at all the above mentioned points?
5) Is it so that partially we can do it and partially we need to take the help of the external sources?
Please reply asap.
Thanks in advance...

Problem while deploying app : An error occurred while contacting the subscription settings service

I am trying to deploy a provider hosted app.
According to various articles by MSDN, I have configured the app domain, the necessary services.
When I go on deploying the app, I get this error:
Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute
or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
I am not able to figure out where exactly the steps have gone wrong?
When checked with ULS Log Viewer, I am able to find the cause, which says
An error occurred while contacting the subscription settings service at 'http://spsite/795a076a57c543748c151b79ffc60e6c/SubscriptionSettings.svc/optimized'.

Hi,
I assume you have seen this article:

Try stopping and restarting the subscription service from central admin.

Time Machine Error Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while ...

Hi,
I've looked all around the forums for the answer to this one and I'm still unable to get it. So I'm getting this error "Time Machine Error Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while linking files on the backup volume". This started happening after I turned off and on FileVault. I was having a problem with it and turning it on an off got rid of that problem, but created this one. I've noticed that when I shut down the computer and filevault accesses the TM hard drive, it can back up.....but then when I'm logged on, or I want it to back up I get the error. I've tried fixing the drive, removing the in progress file and resetting the PRAM (i think that's what it was called). I'm starting to run out of options and have no other drive to back all this info on to reformat it.
I really don't want to loose all my stuff.
Please help!

Usually this message happens when you replace an external disk that was being backed-up by Time Machine with another one of the same name.
Since File Vault works by making a sparse image of your home folder, and it's treated as a volume just as a HD is, that's probably what's happening here: the new sparse image has the same name as the old one, but isn't the old one.
First, consider whether you really need File Vault. It doesn't work well with Time Machine: you can't see or restore individual items in your home folder, and it only gets backed-up when you log out.
If you have a lot of other things, say photos, videos, and/or music that don't need to be encrypted, perhaps there's an easier way to secure our sensitive data. You can create an encrypted disk image via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder), then copy the sensitive documents into it. Then the rest of your home folder is backed-up normally, and individual items can be viewed and restored in the usual fashion.
But if you do continue using FileVault, you may have to use TM to delete all backups of it, via the instructions in item #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum. That should then allow the new version of your encrypted home folder to be backed-up by TM.
