Can someone please point me in the right direction as to how to fix these group policy errors. I'm currently in the middle of trying to get a new working self-signed certificate going on my exchange 2007 server (which obviously is not the server in question here, but is in the same domain) and suspect that the lapse in availability of a valid certificate may have caused the problem (the only supporting evidence of this suspicion being that this error began occurring around the same time as all of the exchange certificate problems). However, I'm not really sure where to proceed. the gpo.ini file that the error is complaining about does actually exist in that location. I don't know what the problem is and why the system can't use it. Here are the errors from the event logs.

There is also one error from the system log that may be of interest.
