We have both FEP 2010 clients, which are being managed by a GPO created from the FEP2010 Admin Template in our Central store, and SCCM 2012/SCEP clients which are being managed by SCCM but we have noticed when running GPResult /h on the SCCM clients, you get an error in the Administrative Template section:

An error has occurred while collecting data for Administrative Templates.

The following errors were   encountered:

Registry   value "%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\Edb.chk" is of   unexpected type.

We have discovered the SCCM/SCEP client local policy creates the exclusion paths in the registry as a DWORD but the FEP2010 Admin Template creates the exclusion paths as a REG_SZ on the FEP 2010 clients. When you run GPResult /h, the templates from the Central Store are used and since the value types are different on the SCCM/SCEP 2012 client, GPResult /H fail.

The current work-around is to create a GPO using the FEP 2010 Admin Template with the exclusion paths that are the same as your SCCM 2012 settings and apply that GPO to the SCCM Clients. That changes the registry keys from DWORD to REG_SZ and GPResult /H starts working again!!

Running GPResult /Z also works!!

How about fixing it?

I have the same issue now with SCCM 2012 R2 and GPMC.  This is unacceptable.
