Windows 8.1 cannot connect to group policy client service

Windows 8.1 laptop under administrator account has this "cannot connect to group policy client service" error.Found the following instructions on internet but I don't see this "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box on Permissions/Advanced
popup windows ???
Could anyone help ?
Change the permissions on the relevant keys configuring the Group Policy Client service to allow Full Control to Administrators
Open regedit (Start > type regedit in the search box) and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\gpsvc
Right-click the registry key and choose Permissions.
Click Advanced, then click Owner.
Choose Administrators and check the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box.
Exit the permissions dialog and then open it again.
Click Advanced, then choose Administrators and click
Edit…
Check Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object.
Click OK and confirm; exit.
Thank you,

Hello CarLover,
Based on my test, the option Replace owner on subcontainers and objects exists in Windows 7, but doesn’t exist in Windows 8.1.
Please take a look at the screenshot about the option in Windows 7.
Please take a look at the following thread similar to this issue.

After restarting i get a message saying that Windows could not connect to the Group policy client service

The message i get is the following:
Windows could not connect to the Group policy client service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system As and administrative user you can review the system event log for details why the service didn't respond.
This happens after restarting my laptop. It takes longer than usual and once it has booted up and loaded Windows Vista, I get the message on the right bottom corner as a window popping up.
I can still use my computer but a lot of my user account settings are not there.
I fixed it temporarily by rebooting using the option: boot up using my last successful configuration. Bu once I restart again the same thing happens.
How can i fix it?
Thanks.

I FOUND SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!
I had this issue on my laptop since November, and it really bugged me. I sifted through the event log and found the pattern of events that preceded the issue, and, probably, caused it.
In short, the pattern is as follows: Windows updates run automatically as scheduled, and when reboot is initiated after the updates are finished, the computer crashes (probably during reboot sequence). When it boots up, it reports that the last shutdown
was unexpected, and the issue begins to occur.
I spent 2 days trying to dig out a solution from the Internet, to no avail, until I came across
this page. It doesn't say anything about this particular problem, but it gives more information about SVCHOST process that starts many services, including Group Policy Client. It looks like during reboot a vital registry settings were lost during
crash and Group Policy Client "doesn't know" how to start. Let me explain:
There are two places to look in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path should contain
gpsvc key (a folder), which is responsible for service parameters and configuration. I found that the key was intact, so, you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SVCHOST This is the most important path you should look into, as it must contain the keys and values referred in the key #1. Below are descriptions what must be present
there.
There must be Multi-String value called GPSvcGroup. My laptop was missing it. So, you should create multi-string value named
GPSvcGroup and assign it value GPSvc.
Next, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key normally should be there, but, again, it was missin on my laptop.
Then open newly-created GPSvcGroup folder and create 2 DWORD values:
First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0x00003020 (or 12320 in decimal)
Second is called CoInitializeSecurityParam and it must have value of 1.
Once you complete all steps above, reboot the computer and the problem will be fixed.
I am so relieved I was able to fix it, and hope this will help others with the similar issue.
Here is the link to the video walkthrough if you have any troubles understanding what has to be done: http://youtu.be/4m5KEmckWK4
I did try the above, but it did not fix my issue with the ""group policy client service failed the logon".
This problem was happening on 5 different RDS Nodes. All I did was rename the Roaming Profile, then delete the locally stored profile on each RDS Server: right click COMPUTER > PROPERTIES > ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS > USER PROFILES > delete the
offending User(s).
Hope that helps.

Group Policy Client service does not start

Hi,
As soon as I (administrator on my PC) logon to Windows 7, I get a message saying that the Group Policy Client service failed to start. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error even though the dependencies are very much up and running..
Below is the error message I get in the notification area as soon as I logon
Failed to connect to a windows service
Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents stndard users from logging on to the system.
As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond.

The crash of your computer caused that - you are absolutely right!

Group Policy Client service failed! Help!

A few days ago I was booted out of my account, while watching a DVD. My system restarted itself, but not before flashing some sort of blue screen. Unfortunately I was unable to read the content of it. After restarting, I was presented with a light blue login screen, instead of my normal screen. However, my name and profile picture remained the same. I was able to login with my password, only to be informed that I had been set up with a temporary account. I was unable to access my files, and had no idea how to access my regular account. After logging out, and restarting in hopes that it would go back to normal... my system went into recovery mode, and afterwards presented me with the same temporary account login screen. Only this time, I was unable to login. Instead I received "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access denied" message. I'm the only user (administrative), and my computer has no internet connection. So, I'm not sure if this is a simple error; a result from my low capacity battery needing to be replaced, or a virus. I've checked previous forums, but I've had no luck. I can't login to my computer at all, and it's very frustrating. I've also backed up my files, just in case my system has to be restored to its factory settings (I hope not). Could any one tell me how to resolve this? Please!

Hello @chigi93 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you were booted from your account and can now only log in with a temporary account.
Windows does this when the main account is unavailable. The account most likely needs to be repaired.
Please follow this document to fix a corrupted profile: Fix a corrupted user profile.
If that doesn't work please go through this document: You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message.
Let me know if that works.

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:

It works, when you log in a second time but this error isn't very nice.
Is there a solution for that?

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?

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?

Andy

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

Group Policy client Service Error - Access is denied

I am
at domain admin working on windows 7 roaming profiles, testing with a
staff user. I am in a domain environment. I have changed the
profile path for a user to the folder I created for new windows 7 roaming
profiles. gave it all the permissions noted here and followed these steps
at Microsoft's deploying roaming profiles page for win 7.<o:p></o:p>
once I logged in the user,
it created their profile.v2 but I still couldn't access it. getting
access denied. so I went back and changed the staff roaming profile back
to the original profile path. didn't make any group policy changes.
but now she gets group policy client service failed to logon. access is
denied. I have deleted the .v2 profile that win 7 creates in her old
profile path, moved her profile path back to what is was before testing,
retested her xp profile which does work and she can login and work.
but the win 7 machines no matter where she logs in, will not work. they
all give the same error about group policy client service failed. no
other users are having this problem

Hi,
Regarding the issue here, have you checked the below thread?
Group
Policy Client Service Failed the logon - Access Denied: Windows 7 Ultimate/Server 2008 R2
Please take a try with the steps mentioned by Nina Liu.
QUOTE here:
At this time, let’s refer to the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Open registry editor on the problematic Windows 7 machine (please log in as domain admin)
2. Highlight HKEY_USERS, choose File -> Load Hive, browse to the location of one failing roaming profile and open NTUSER.DAT file, click open
3. Under Key Name, enter any name you like, but remember what you have entered, such as enter "test"
4. Expand, HKEY_USERS, you should see new registry hive called "test" or any name you entered earlier
5. Right click on that "test" hive and choose permissions. Confirm that the following users have permissions:
- Administrators: Full Control
- SYSTEM: Full Control
- User (or group) that owns this profile: Full Control
6. If the permissions were wrong, correct them, then click on Advanced tab, on Advanced tab and enable "Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries
shown here that apply to child objects" and click Apply.
7. Highlight "test" registry hive, then click on File -> Unload Hive to release handle on NTUSER.DAT file.
8. Log off and log on with the failing roaming profile you have just modified.
Any process, please feel free to contact us.

The Group Policy Client Service Failed The Logon

Hello,
When our students login to our Windows 7 machines they are getting this error:
The Group Policy Client Service Failed The Logon
Access is denied.
We are attempting to use both volatile and roaming profiles. The profiles are being stored on their H drives. I seem to only see the issue when the Windows NT 6.1 Workstation Profile.V2 folder already exists on their H drive. If the profile is not there then everything works fine.
Loading the user's ntuser.dat hive located in their H drive and changing the permissions manually to allow System, Administrators, and Users Full Control fixes the issue. How can I do this across all my user's H drives? Should I just delete them all and manually create the folder myself?
Last time I found one, the permissions for the hive had an "Unknown" user in the permissions list. There was no "Users" group. Removing the "Unknown" and adding "Users" fixed the problem. Are the permissions getting corrupted somehow?
Thanks for any assistance.
I've used the following link for reference:

This worked in small scale testing, so we will see.
I've been referencing this thread: http://forums.novell.com/novell-prod....html#poststop
So I have tried this with students that are experiencing the problem, and gotten limited success. It feels like it works at random, with around 50% of attempts working.
Has anyone out there had success with roaming profiles? Do I just need to go back to folder redirection? Will anyone please respond?
This is what the student's ntuser.dat hive permissions look like when things are not working:

Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in

After doing an OSD with a Windows 8.1 reference image, I get the "The Group Policy Client service failed the sign-in. The Universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported." message. It only shows up on the first very first log in, right
after the OSD process has completed, and never shows up again. I'm using basic OSD task sequences right now, but I'm not sure where to pinpoint the cause of this message.

Hi,
This is only happening when we use the original RTM ISO en_windows_8_1_enterprise_x64_dvd_2791088.iso
(without any software update), if we instead use the en_windows_8_1_enterprise_x64_dvd_2971902.iso the error is gone.
Apparently this ISO is updated with the

The group policy client service failed the logon access is denied.

This one is starting to get on my nerves now. We've had 2 users suffering this problem on our Remote Desktop server.
We are running two Windows Server 2008 SP2 domain controllers, with two Windows 2008 R2 servers running RD Gateway and Remote Desktop Server.
The first user I had to recreate because of following instructions I googled because it caused the user to always logon with a temporary profile on the server and I could not resolve this.
This user I have managed to cleanly delete the local logon profile.
BOTH of these users are on roaming profiles, as are most of the users that are logging in to this server (for reasons that they move around the office). On the server, the user is listed twice one with a .v2 extension (XP machines at desks)
The user we are having a problem with at the moment was working perfectly fine a couple of weeks ago when they last logged into the server.
Could this be down to me setting an over ride on the settings that force people to logout completely after an hour of idle time, resulting in an unclean logoff?
Some of the messages that are in the event log for when that user attempts to login:
Event id: 1542
Windows cannot load classes registry file.
DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.
Event ID: 6001
The winlogon notification subscriber <Sens> failed a notification event.
Event ID: 6004
The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event.
I'm also getting a constant batch of
Event ID: 510
Folder redirection policy application has been delayed until the next logon because the group policy logon optimization is in effect
Any ideas why this should happen? I need a solution as soon as possible please as these users are running our sales department from home, and this user is due to be on the rota to do it this week! :)

Andy, I have been struggling with this issue on a new 2008R2 server. Can
you explain the commands you used to load ntuser.dat and usrclass.dat
into the registry? This is a truly maddening issue.
Thank you.

Having problem with svchost.exe/ntdll.dll errors causing GPSVC (Group Policy Client) to crash preventing users from logging into the server.

Recently (within the past 2 weeks) I have noticed a few of our servers will have problems with the svchost.exe application causing the GPSVC (Group Policy Client) to crash. The only fix at that point is to reboot the server since the GPSVC service is tied
to svchost.exe and therefore is protected from being manually restarted.
I noticed the following errors when this occurs:

I've searched and cannot seem to find any information as to what may be causing this, or even really where to start. Would someone be able to help me identify what might be causing this event, specific with the Exception code: 0xc0000024, which causes
the Group Policy Client service to stop?

You still out there looking at things? If so I have an update. The issue hasn't stopped, even though it did seemingly die down for awhile, however, it is now back with a vengeance.
I am able to force it to happen by killing the svchost process that is hosting GPSVC. If I run gpupdate /force, then logout/login it does get GPSVC running again. Furthermore, if I simply start svchost again via the Task Manager GPSVC starts running again.
When I access the server remotely with KVM it acts just like it does as if I'm logging into it via Citrix/RDP which for Admin IDs gives an error saying "Failed to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service...",
however, normal user accounts just get a message when logging into the server "The Group Policy Client Service Failed the Logon. Access is denied."
I haven't opened a case with Microsoft yet, but we about ready to because of the increase in these errors.
If you have any further suggestions that would be great, otherwise I'll provide an update once I get word back from Microsoft.
**EDIT -- apparently I mistook the the server's SCM's actions as my own. I was able to successfully crash the GPSVC service by killing the hosting svchost process, however, after I crashed it and let it sit crashed for awhile when I attempted
to restart either by starting a svchost task, or running gpupdate /force it failed. Either that, or there is a timing issue where if we don't restart the svchost process, or run gpupdate /force quickly enough it won't be able to recover without a reboot.

The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused th e Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly.

Hi all,
Having an issue with the shortcuts Group Policy extension applying to our Windows 7 machines. It was working until last Wednesday and since then users get a Group Policy Client service error when logging in.
We have narrowed it down to the shortcuts extension, if the extension is disabled then a user can log in, if enabled and empty then the following error comes up. With all the investigation we have done so far it seems as though something on the client is
making this happen.
We have –
Copied the original policy
Exported and imported the policy
Deleted all the shortcuts
Deleted all the shortcuts and created a brand new shortcut
And the same thing happens. Only if you right click on the Shortcut Extension and select disable then the user can log in
When running Gpupdate /force we get the following error
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Group Policy Shortcuts may have caused the Group Policy Service to terminate unexpectedly. To prevent further failures inthe
Group Policy Service, this extension has been temporarily disabled until after the next system restart. Group Policy settings managed by this extension may no
longer be enforced until the system is restarted. The vendor of this extension should be contacted if this issue recurs.

Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks

Hi Dejul,
How is the issue going? Does this issue happen to all Windows 7 clients? I am not sure this can be helpful but we can give it a try to install the following hotfix.
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
Besides, please make sure that our clients are patched or updated to the latest.
An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Unable to see Remote App and Desktop Connection in Group Policy Management Editor

I am unable to see the Remote App and Desktop Connection in Group Policy Management Editor on my 2012 R2 DC. I am therefore not able configure the connection URL in Access RemoteApp and desktops in our Windows 8.1 client environment.
Within the Group Policy Under User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components all I see is:-
RD Gateway
Remote Desktop Connection Client
Remote Desktop Session Host
But NOT
Remote App and Desktop Connection
Which I need. Is there anyway of adding this?

Do you use a central store for ADMX? Is this central store out of date?
(Means "still contains ADMX from W7/2008R2")
