Hi,
I received an error when applying gpupdate /force on the DC for Group Policy. I followed the network path that the system was trying to locate the GP.ini file, and in the \SysVol\...\GP.ini location, I don't see the GP.ini file. When I check the Event Viewer for the log, it is identified as:
Event ID 7004, error code 2
Even though I get this error message, the Group Policy was successfully applied to the client machine. Do I need to be concern about this error message?
This is a Server 2008 Standard SP2
Previously, on the client machine, Group Policy was not being properly applied. When I use the GPresult /R; I received the message for no rsop data available. After I run the GPUpdate /Force on the DC, the client machine have the Group Policy applied, but I get the error message on the DC
I need to get the Group Policy working correctly to configure the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS). So far, the client computers are still not reporting to the WSUS console, even after the Group Policy is successfully applied. I double the check the setting regarding the Windows Update configuration, and all the Setting from the WSUS server are applied on the client machine
