Group Policy failed

Hi

We had a lot of issues with ad and finally got it back running. But now we have this error popping up all the time.

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\kaufmann.local\sysvol\kaufmann.local\Policies\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.

The path does not exist but the path

\\kaufmann.local\SYSVOL\kaufmann.local\Policies\{897AA57E-AE53-4C48-B595-4F5EE94B51A1}

How can I fix this so it uses the new path?

To add some information

Windows 2016 Server
Virtual Machine
The only Active Directory Server at the moment.

Hi Chris,

I suggest you check every GPO you have in GPMC and determine the GUID that it has.

To do that, right click the name of the policy at the top of the page and select properties.

See if you can find which GPO has GUID = {6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9} then post back with which one it is (even if custom).

If it is the Default Domain Policy GPO, then you could use Dcgpofix to fix it:

Hi

It is the "Default Domain Controllers Policy". In fact if I click on it it cannot find it.

Seemed to run through well. Is there a way to check if all is ok?
