Problems with updating Group Policy
Hi all
We are trying to update the group policy on a machine and the computer policy is not updating and we are getting the following error message when attempting to do it through cmd.
The machine is connected up on a domain with the server running SBS 2011.
See image for error message.

David is on the right track, it is probably DNS.

Hi David.
I can ping the server fine and the DNS is correct.
The error is occuring when I try gpupdate /force
I have attached the gpreport.
We were actually trying to disable GP as a whole to install a program as we have locked it down completely due to Cryptolocker.

We've done the same on our clients servers. How are you disabling the policy? Disabling the link?
Is the PC connecting via wireless or wired?
Sorry to be a pain but can you export it as a html file? (its easier to read).

We are disabling it on the server itself, not just the link.
The PC is wired in.
It is exported as a html file.

Does it work if you run the command prompt as administrator?

Did you create the Cryptolocker policy as an additional GPO or have you added to an existing / default one?
How have you disabled it? Via Security filtering?

Hi David, it still doesn't work then.

It was added to the default domain policy.
It's disabled through gpedit in the details tab of the default domain policy; we're setting the GPO status to disabled.

Hi David, we've ended up reinstalling the OS and that appears to have resolved it. I believe it may have been a dodgy install as the server wasn't even picking it up in AD.
Thanks for your help.

Run gpupdate /force and confirm if you're getting the same error.
Generate a report and upload that please.
What setting(s) have you updated?
