I have DC windows 2008 Enterprise and i have member servers as 2003 as ISA server also 2008 standard as AV server and 2008 Enterprise
Currently GPupdate /Force command is giving error as below on all the member servers.
I have also check that below path i.e. till *.gpt.ini is accessible from 2008 member server but not from 2003 member server.
C:\>gpupdate /force
Updating Policy...
User Policy update has completed successfully.
Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were enc
ountered:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\DomainName.local\sysvol\DomainName.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\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 cou
ld 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.
To diagnose the failure, review the event log or invoke gpmc.msc to access infor
mation about Group Policy results.
-------------------------
But i can access with below path from run command on 2003 member server when i enter complete name as \\DCName.DomainName.local\SYSVOL\aoacrs.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\GPT.INI
But from 2003 when i access from run command \\DomainName.local i can see NETLOGON & SYSVOL folder but i can't click on them as it gives error as "\\DomainName.local\Sysvol is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource"
Dont know but previously Group Policy was working fine on 2003 member server but on 2008 Member it is not working from long time.
---------------------------
Also NSLookup is working fine on 2008 member, it is pointing to DC properly with ip adddress.
DCDiag on 2003 Member server is only giving error as below
Starting test: frssysvol
......................... DCName failed test frssysvol
DcDiag on 2008 Member server is only giving error as below
Starting test: SysVolCheck
......................... DCName failed test SysVolCheck
