I am regularly receiving the following error on one of my domain controllers:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\local.test\sysvol\local.test\Policies\{1D3342A1-EFC9-4A64-8F84-8D72F2858051}\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 can access the gpt.ini file from the server.
I found articles that said to try changing the permission on the GPO, but that didn't help.
This is actually the second GPO to give this error. The first one I realized did not need to apply to the OU of Domain Controllers, and removed it, but then I began to get the error on a different GPO.
I am not getting this error on any of the other four DCs in the domain. If it makes a difference, this DC is Server 2012 R2 (all the DCs are), it is a Hyper-V VM, and sits in a remote site (with a physical DC).
This is particularly disturbing to me because our SCOM server is picking up on the alert, and showing our Active Directory to be unhealthy.
Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks!
