This issue occurs mostly when there is an audit .csv file in the following location c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Audit\audit.csv which needs to be deleted for the machine to receive the group policy again.  Delete the file and to a gpupdate /force and that should do it.

The server in question.   I have C:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine and then the next folder (only one) is Scripts.

I did a search for audit.csv and find it in 3 locations:

C:\Windows\Security\audit
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\bwok.local\Policies\

They are all from 2012.

Delete all of them?
