We just noticed yesterday afternoon that policies for an RDS server (Windows 2008 R2) that is hosted in the cloud are not being applied. There are two domain controllers also Windows 2008 R2. When I run an RSOP on a DC, the information returned looks OK, but some obvious settings are not applied at the RDS server. Also, for existing users, environmental variables are fine, but for new users, they are incorrect. The RDS server was updated and rebooted last weekend, so it's possible that some updates have caused the problem. I'm not sure what to try next, so does anyone have any troubleshooting techniques I might try?
There are several of the following log entries (Event ID 1530, User Profile Service):
========================

I reset the machine account using Reset-ComputerMachinePassword, and I no longer see these errors, but the problem is still not fixed. I'd sure appreciate any thoughts on this.
