Hi everyone,
I need some help trying to solve an issue with Group Policy on our network. This doesn't seem to be causing major problems as the vast majority of our GPO's are definitely working, I just have that niggling feeling that a few things are not working perfectly.
When I do a gpupdate /force on a client PC, I get the following message:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\greenm>gpupdate /force
Updating Policy...
User Policy update has completed successfully.
The following warnings were encountered during user policy processing:
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Folder Redirection was unable to apply on
e or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup o
r user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish complet
ely before the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow
startup and boot performance.
Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were enc
ountered:
The processing of Group Policy failed because of an internal system error. Pleas
e see the Group Policy operational log for the specific error message. An attemp
t will be made to process Group Policy again at the next refresh cycle.
The following warnings were encountered during computer policy processing:
The Group Policy Client Side Extension Software Installation was unable to apply
one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startu
p or user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish comp
letely before the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in sl
ow startup and boot performance.
To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html f
rom the command line to access information about Group Policy results.

If I do a GPRESULT /H GPReport.html I get the following warning under Summary > Computer Configuration Summary > Component Status
