Group Policy Error. INFO: The group policy object does not exist
I am logging into a machine on a domain as a user who is in an OU we have named Managed Users, which has Group Policy of roaming profile.
Logging on as the user, it can't find the user's roaming profile. When logged in (albeit a local version), and try to run gpupdate, the following error happens:
Group Policy Error. INFO: The group policy object does not exist
Any idea why this might be happening? Are there certain things I should double check in the GP Editor? Other users of the domain are not in this Managed Users OU, and they can login fine (with roaming profiles, etc)
Thanks

check the DNS on this machine and make sure it is only looking internally, if that is the case, then i would recreate his profile

DNS is correct on the user's machine.
Then that narrows it down then.
Do you have your roaming profiles on a seperate server other than the DC? For best performance they should be and make sure that you have set the following permissions correctly on that folder. Make sure on your redirected "my docs" folder the ntfs permissions are set correctly also. It sounds like your permissions are not setup correctly on the mydocs folder.

The DC is the only server, it controls everything including roaming profiles.
Where would I check the My Documents perms?

under the users profile path - give them full control to start with
ASKER
I can't access the users' profile because I am not the owner.
then take ownership
ASKER
I've taken control of the user's folder.
Right now im located in E:\Users\usernamehere\prof
Within this folder, usernamehere's Documents is a folder. If I look at the permission on it, the only permissions are for Administrator (because I took ownership). What should I be looking at?

Give the group full control to start with that you are testing with. Then narrow it down. Normal scenerio is as follows.
Share: everyone full control
NTFS: Remove all groups, add the groups that should be there.
You use ntfs to restrict permissions.

make sure under advanced that you click propogate to child objects

So this should be done on the USER's personal folder on the server? I don't follow.
Why give everyone access to one user's files/folders?
