Server 2008 Group Policy Errors

We have a Server 2008 DC that is getting this error in the Event Viewer.

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to retrieve new Group Policy settings for this user or computer. Look in the details tab for error code and description. Windows will automatically retry this operation at the next refresh cycle. Computers joined to the domain must have proper name resolution and network connectivity to a domain controller for discovery of new Group Policy objects and settings. An event will be logged when Group Policy is successful.

Event ID 1030

EventData

  SupportInfo1 1
  SupportInfo2 2012
  ProcessingMode 0
  ProcessingTimeInMilliseconds 9017
  ErrorCode 58
  ErrorDescription The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.  
  DCName \\Server.domain.com



This error pops up every few minutes. Everything for everyone works ok. Not sure where to start to look into this issue and get it cleared up.

Is it only showing up on your Computer or everyones?

If it is just your computer try the following:

Group Policy applies during computer startup and user logon. Afterward, Group Policy applies every 90 to 120 minutes. Events appearing in the event log may not reflect the most current state of Group Policy. Therefore, you should always refresh Group Policy to determine if Group Policy is working correctly.

To refresh Group Policy on a specific computer:
1.Open the Start menu. Click All Programs and then click Accessories.
2.Click Command Prompt.
3.In the command prompt window, type gpupdate and then press ENTER.
4.When the gpupdate command completes, open the Event Viewer.

Group Policy is working correctly if the last Group Policy event to appear in the System event log has one of the following event IDs:
•1500
•1501
•1502
•1503

Other options:
Run gpupdate /sync /boot /force

Also login to another machine to see if it follows the user account.

If none of the above works check out the following:

Below things you can try out

- Check DNS Entries if they are correct or not?
- Remove Workstation from AD and add it back. Place it back in proper OU and then run gpupdate /force

Check network connectivity between Workstation and the DC.

This isn't happening on the workstation, it is happening on the server. If I go into group policy on the server it says it can't even find the policy, says the domain can't be found. It is looking for a different domain name than our domain really is. Ex domain.local instead of domain1.com
Remove that Member server from domain and try adding it back.

We only have 1 server, that is also the DC.
