Group Policy Client service failed
I'm having a problem when users log onto new PC's (ie one not logged onto before) using their roaming profile. It comes up with an error when logging on
The Group Policy Client service failed the logon
Access is denied
If I manually copy over the ntuser.dat file from the roaming profile folder to the local machine then they can log on fine. The only odd thing is that on the server to view the ntuser.dat file I have to unhide the protected system files to then view it and copy it. Then when I log in it loads roaming profile fine.
Has anyone seen this before and know a fix?

We haven't moved servers or done a migration. The only thing that has happened is we had some corrupt data on our D drive where the data stored. But I have tried deleting the roaming profile data on the server and local PC profile, deleting reg keys for user on local pc too. Recreating a profile for the user and still get the same error.

Ultimately you can *try* to reset ACLs, but it is usually better to just export the data (Windows Easy Transfer, etc), delete the roaming profile, and let the windows client recreate it thus recreating all folders and files with proper ACLs.
You can then reimport the data, as tools that work at the data level and not the file level don't affect ACLs.
