Server is Windows 2008 R2. All our workstations are Windows 7. I made some changes to the group policy on the server then ran gpupdate on a workstation and received the following error:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\company.com\SysVol\company.com\Policies\{91B01BF1-B9BB-4A8B-86D8-9A1C06548C2F}\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.
So I browsed to that location on the server and found the file it's looking for, gpt.ini, and checked the security rights and authenticated users have read and execute rights. On my test pc I was able to Start - Run and browse to the gpt.ini file also so it doesn't appear to not have rights to it.
I looked on one of the test machines next to me and found the DFS in the Control panel (Administrative Tools - DFS Management) but am not sure what I should be looking at or what I need to do with it. I also tried to find DFS on my computer and it does not exist in that location.
I just need the group policy to update to all machines and need to make it happen from the server, if possible. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
