1030, 1058 errors and SYSVOL share permissions problem

Asked by callworth in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: , , ,

When I try to access the SYSVOL share I end up withthe following:
\\server\SYSVOL   - Connects to the server and files are all there

\\domain.org\SYSVOL   -  This way gives me the following error:

\\domain.org\SYSVOL  is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions.
Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied.

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.

I have tried using DCGPOFIX but it didnt help. Ive gone through too many Microsoft KB articles to remember! What I have done is to add the SYSTEM account to the SYSVOL share permissions and that fixed things. However Microsoft doesnt recommend the SYSTEM account be included in the permissions on the folder. Ive repeatedly verified the permissions on the NTFS level and the share level.  Any ideas on how to properly fix this?Start Free Trial
