Hi,

I have created a new policy on our domain - called "claims". If i configure this policy on to push to administrator it works but as soon as i push this policy to any other user in the organisation it fails.

Event ID is 1058 - See below

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\winddirect.local\SysVol\winddirect.local\Policies\{519E3128-3B09-4849-B40B-A504FC1F742D}\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.

I have verified the GPO folder was created in the Sysvol.

Here is the network settings on the client computer :

Please let me know what additional information will be necessary to assist.

Hi,

In my expression, you set a new GPO, which could be applied to administrator and fail to be applied to any other users. There occurs Event ID 1058 on the other users.

Please try these steps to troubleshoot:

• Go to Event Viewer to view the Group Policy service logs the name of the domain controller and the error code.

The error code can help you to further identify the reason for the failure.

For detailed information about troubleshooting this Event ID 1058, please refer to this article:

• Please run commanddfsrdiag syncnow /RGName:Domain System Volume /Partner:OTHER_DC /Time:15 /v to force sync DFSR.

Run gpupdate /force on the client then check the GPOs application.

I hope this helps.

My apoligies for the late reply. The problem is resolved. I left it for a day and when i picked this up again it was working. My best guess is that my one domain controller was not on sync with the others.

Thanks for the help.
