The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied.
Our campus has roaming profiles enabled. Server1 contains the users profile. Server2 contains the users user folder. We have one user that is unable to login to some PCs in different parts of the networks. When she logs in she gets "The group policy client service failed the logon. Access is denied" then the PC says Logging Off. She is able to login into other PCs with no problem. Ive researched the issue and located a couple of posts that refer to this issue. However, the fixes that I see are registry edits. I would try those but dont want to have to do that for 100 computers for 1 user. A little more environment info: Windows 2003/2008 DCs and Windows 7 clients. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the response sorry took so long to get back on this. I didnt see this post before, since we just gave the user a new username. However, I did locate a different solution that worked for me. I logged in as an Administrator. When to system properties > clicked User Profiles > clicked the Default user account > clicked Copy To > Selected the Users profile and then gave them permission to it.
