Hello all-
I am currently trying to update group policy (specifically folder redirects) from a new Windows Server 2008 in my office... the server acts as both an AD DS and file server for client computers, all running Windows XP and 7.
Here are the steps I am currently taking:
1. i change some policy setting and try to gpupdate or gpudate /force, but after few second, appear below error message, please kindly as i newbie in server.
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\<FQDN>\SysVol\<FQDN>\Policies\{04EC3EEE-2108-419D-A5D6-7BCF98F6A90A}\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.
Of course the system cannot find the file specified because the folder does not exist in the sysvol folder. I am wondering why Windows is trying to read from this location when it does not exist, and is not the new group policy I created! I have no other group policies linked or enforced to any other OU/Domain/etc. Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
