I recently did a clean install with Windows 7 64 on a machine that is part of a workgroup, but not part of a domain. Now I get this message when I boot up: &quot;Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from logging on to the system.&quot; Does anyone have any idea how to prevent the message from popping up?
