Hello,
I have created a GPO which copies a file from a network share into a new folder under Program Files. This policy works just fine on a Windows 2008 box, but not on 2003. I've used "psexec -i -s cmd.exe" to verify system account permission to the share. I am able to successfully browse and copy files from the share as the system account on both boxes.
However, when the GPO attempts to perform the file copy, it does not work, and generates the following error message:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Group Policy Files
Event Category: (2)
Event ID: 4098
Date: 8/28/2013
Time: 3:32:12 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: Server01
Description:
The computer 'file.txt' preference item in the 'TXT File Copy {9176122B-1A50-4AB8-91D9-6E8553727E18}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.I am trying to avoid writing a login script, so I am hoping someone will be able to help me figure out why this works fine on Windows 2008 but not Windows 2003. Please note file names and paths are modified here for security reasons, but the principle is the same.
My GPO is:
Computer Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Files
File (Target Path: c:\Program Files\path\to\file\file.txt)
Source file: \\share\path\to\file\file.txt
Destination File: c:\program files\path\to\file\file.txt
Action: Update
Suppress errors on individual file actions: Disabled
Read-Only: Enabled
Hidden: Disabled
Archive: Enabled
Stop Processing items on this extension if an error occurrs on this item: No

Thanks
