First off Group Policy is not available on Windows 7 Home Premium <br />
<br />
Very strange that your user accounts would be looking for group policy <br />
<br />
When logged on as administrator do the following<br />
<br />
Open command prompt<br />
&nbsp;Type &quot;netsh&quot;<br />
&nbsp;Type &quot;winsock reset&quot;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Log off and try to relogin as regular user

Hi.<br />
<br />
We have a machine running Windows 7 Home Premium. When trying to log into any account other than the administrator the following message is given:<br />
<br />
Could not connect to Group Policy Client service. Please consult your system administrator<br />
<br />
When looking in Services the Group Policy Client is set to automatic but is not running. The start option is greyed out greyed out so I can't simply start it. Have checked dependencies and they are all running. <br />
<br />
Have tried starting through command prompt with &quot;net start gpsvs&quot; but get get this error:<br />
<br />
System error 5 has occurred. <br />
Access is denied.<br />
<br />
Running from an Administrator account with an administrative command prompt. <br />
<br />
Also tried running system file checker but no integrity violations were found.
