Group Policy File Howto

I'm basically looking to add a .txt file to C:\test\ on every computer in my domain. I'm in the group policy editor - created my file - set it as "create".

The initial folder (where the file is stored) is shared.

The client computers are coming up with the error:

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      Group Policy Files
Event Category:      (2)
Event ID:      4098
Date:            6/7/2009
Time:            8:51:10 PM
User:            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:      PC-0008
Description:
The user 'test.txt' preference item in the 'Default Domain Policy {31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I'm not sure where the hang-up is. Any help would be appreciated. The target on each client computer is not shared - does it need to be?

Do the users have rights to write files to that folder on their machines? Double check the permissions to the folder where the file is stored.
Thanks

make it a computer policy and the problems should go away.
and role it out on the root of the domain with a group limit for domain computers. deny access on servers if you want them excluded.

Sounds like a permission problem,
Consider to:
- Check permissions
- Happens to every user? (Local admins, users etc,.)
