GPOs do not apply on Windows 10 Enterprise x64

Hi there,

When booting a Windows 10 machine (Lenovo laptop) GPOs are not loaded. Of course I can apply them later on via gpupdate /force.

When I have a look into the system log I get always an error in there with the ID 1058. Checking the error code in the details says: Network access is denied (error code 65).

It tries to access a gpt.ini file from the policies but does not get through.

When I restart the computer, click the link in the error message I get an error that the file cannot be accessed. Nevertheless after about 30 seconds the access to the file just works.

For me it seems that there is a service pending start which is needed for the domain access. I bet it has to do with DFS as the GPO access works via DFS path(namespace).

This is quite annoying as the machine policies are not loaded neither the user policies.

Here the details from the error message:

Log Name:      System

Source:        Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy

Date:          10.9.2015 13.19.02

Event ID:      1058

Task Category: None

Level:         Error

Keywords:

Computer:      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Description:

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\my.domain.com\SysVol\my.domain.com\Policies\{3933BE19-C3FF-4C22-9434-B64C654C8B06}\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.

Hi Robinion,

Thanks for your post.

This problem is directly related to the group policy settings that Microsoft recommended to harden group policy, and is outlined in MS15-011 and MS15-014. And according to Keith Brewer explianed, if only Mutual Authentication is required and the connection is failing with STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED, then the client is likely experiencing issues with Kerberos authentication.
You need to identify why Kerberos authentication is not being utilized. If you can repro this issue by running gpupdate, a network trace may help during that time as a start. It could be anything from DNS configuration errors, firewall configuration errors, Kerberos SPN configuration errors, etc.  

Please check the article for more details.
