Userenv 1053 and Group Policies
Ok here goes..
We recently started to use WSUS to save on bandwidth and control updates to PC's. We followed the MS guide on setting this up (inlcuding the GPO's) and have had no problems except for one laptop...
The laptop has applied the default domain policy, and it has some obvious changes on it. Upon gpresult, it is clear that the WSUS policy has not been applied. Further more when gpupdate is tried it the application logs show userenv 1053 - "Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. Group Policy processing aborted".
Using group policy results on GPMC under component status there is this error:
Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
The specified user does not exist.
Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available.
I have tried moving the laptop into another OU and renaming it. This both worked to extent, as you could see the pc name and OU under gpresult where as you could not before. However no WSUS policy...
I don't think this is a DNS issue as the laptop can go to and use https://servername/WSUSupdate and ipconfig /all shows all the correct settings.
Finally I ran the ClientDiag tool:
