I have a client with a weird issue, I have checked the site here and tried various other fixes to issues similar but have not yet resolved the issue.

Thing will be working fine, and then all of a sudden there is a "hiccup" in the system and people can no longer log in using their roaming profiles. The Event ID in the Application Log is 1000. I have searched the internet and have found no fixes. This is becoming rather troublesome and frustrating. Can anyone give me any insite?
 
More information, please. What kind of network, where are the roaming profiles located? What OS are the clients running? Are they using WiFi?
 
Sorry,
It is a Windows 2000 Server. Typical Cat5 lan. There is WiFi but that is for internet access only. The profiles are stored on the server. Profiles are located on a share on the server and each user account is pointed to their own folder in the profile share.
 
Are you sure the users have full privileges to their profiles? At the top level of your profiles share, it should have Creator Owner Full Control, which would inherit down to the user's folders as them having full control - assuming you didn't create these folders manually or something.
 
Yes permissions are set right, people will be using the server/profiles/network fine and then this just out of the blue happens and we have to reboot sometimes 3 times for it to start working again.

Here is an error from the event viewer that we get when this happens.

Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects . A message that describes the reason for this was previously logged by this policy engine.
 
Thanks, that first one is something I haven't run into before. I will definitely take a look at it.
