I have a single domain replicating from 2 different sites with a Windows Server 2012 R2 STD domain controllers and Windows 7 and Win 2012 computers joined. It appears that the GPO's are not applying and the GPUPDATE /force hangs and eventually produces this error.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Computer policy update has not completed in the expected time. Exiting...<br />
&nbsp;User Policy could not be updated successfully. &nbsp;The following errors were encountered:<br />
<br />
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the user name.<br />
This could be caused by one of more of the following<br />
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.<br />
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).<br />
<br />
To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html from the command line to &nbsp;access information about Group Policy Results.<br />
<br />
Need some solutions.<br />

Thanks
