Hi,

You  can follow the given article::

Event 1030 and event 1058 may be logged, and you may not be able to start the Group Policy snap-in on your Windows Small Business Server 2003 computer

Stako,

I had the same problem and finally was able to resolve it.  I had to install the Windows Support tools from CD 2.  Once installed I opened the command prompt and followed the procedure Nickperf linked to you.

Once in the adsiedit snap-in, I navigated to Domain-DC=mydomain, DC=local
CN=System
CN=Policies

I right-clicked each container in the CN=Policies container and navigated to two attributes in each one.  I noted that the gPCFileSysPath in most of them and the gPCWQLFilter in some of them had the wrong domain name.  I substitued the correct domain name in the path leaving the rest of the path along and that fixed my problem.

NOTE: Be careful in the adsiedit tool.  Take careful notes so you can backtrack.  The last thing you want to do is mess this baby up.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for the big delay, I was away for a few days...

I checked the entries in gPCFileSysPath and all seem ok. The domain name seems right and the paths are all valid. In gPCWQLFilter also the domain name seems right but in some entries there isn't any value set.

The domain is entered as "domain.local". I suppose this is the right thing or not?

Anybody?

 

by: stako_exPosted on 2008-07-10 at 03:10:19ID: 21971827

I believe this error event is related to Event 1058 for which I have posted a question at

http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/SBS_Small_Business_Server/Q_23334010.html

So at this point and since nobody is answering here I will wait to see how the other question I posted turns out and then see if it resolves 1030 also.


 

by: stako_exPosted on 2008-09-15 at 23:33:28ID: 22485350

Please leave this question open, I will try the solution proposed in the other question that is related to this one.

It's just that I need time to implement this, its a system-wide change and it needs scheduling etc.

Thanks

Server is going to be disabled and new one will be installed. No migration will take place to avoid transferring these issues, users will be re-created and mailboxes moved "manually".
