Here's the situation. I have a Windows Server 2003 acting up. It refuses to allow terminal services users to log in unless they were lucky enough to get in before the glitch. I have searched and searched, scoured and sifted through the vast wasteland that is the modern I.T. support board and tried every bloody thing imaginable to solve the problem outside of rebooting since I don't want to kick out the users or they'll be up the creek. What's happening here is that I'm getting event 1030 every five minutes in the application log from Userenv, with this familiar message:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
Well, I have no "previous entry" that supports this claim. I can edit the group policies with the Group Policy Management Console, I can see all of the group policies and freely access them, but for some stupid reason, the system isn't reading them when it comes to applying it to users. I have tried several "gpupdate" commands, flushed the dsf cache, ensured that dsf is turned on, made sure the permissions and traverse checking were both in line for the GP settings directories, and have even stepped through registry entries to no avail. I am having a serious problem with Server 2003 and it has been wracking my brain trying to figure out just what's happening here. Again, as I said, I get an event 1030 every five minutes, but NO OTHER ERROR. It's not accompanied by one of the other two errors that would have made it a quick and easy fix after looking through forums. Does anyone have an idea of just what could be going on here?
