Replication sysvol problem in a windows 2008 2003 environment
Dear Experts,
I am in a messy situation right now with our active directory replications. We recently place 2 windows 2008 server with the idea of replacing 2 windows 2003 servers. We already took one server offline. In one of the server I am getting this error:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\is.ad\sysvol\is.ad\Polic ies\{31B2F 340-016D-1 1D2-945F-0 0C04FB984F 9}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
Event ID: 1058
This is from one of the new windows server 2008. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Kindly, thank you so much, M

Check if that server is in Journal Wrap State search for event ID 13568 in FRS logs if you find this event then perform non authorative restore of sysvol using below link

Please try to perform non-authoritative SYSVOL restoration using D2 burflag
This should resolve the issue

Still the same thing , sorry guys...
If d2/d4 does not helps check below parameters are set correctly on DC.
1.Ensure correct dns setting on the server.Each DC / DNS server points to its private IP address as primary DNS server and other remote/local DNS servers as secondary in TCP/IP properties
2.Check the permission on problematic gpt.ini file see below link for more details
3.Check that File and print sharing is enabled on the NIC on client and DC.
4.Disable the windows firewall on the DC/client.
5.Ensure that the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service" is started.
6.Run DFSUtil /purgemupcache
7.Run gpupdate /force and check the apllication log.
8.If still the issue persist run the Group Policy Diagnostic Best Practice Analyzer for more details

Also, have you tried just restarting the server? I'd advise trying that first. It could be that a service or services are not running for some reason and a restart would ensure that all required services are running. Also, if you do a restart and some important service doesn't start properly for some reason, you'll see errors in the event viewer that could help in troubleshooting this problem.
