Hi,
I'm having the following events on the sytem log, generated every five minutes:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1058
Description: Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=domainname,DC=com . The file must be present at the location <\\domainname.com\sysvol\domainname.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984 F9}\gpt.ini>. (The network path was not found.).

Haven't found a solution at support.microsoft.com

Can anyone help me here plz ?
 
Sorry, forgot to mention aditional details...

I have 4 servers on a domain, the pdc and a sdc are working fine, but the ohter 2 are showing this problem. All have SP1 installed. If I manually copy the file gpt.ini from the pdc to where its supposed to be in the sdc showing this problem, next group policy check doesnt generate this events but instead generates an event saying the policy was successfuly applied. But after a while, the gpt.ini file just disappears again.
 
Sounds like you deleted your Default Domain Policy. You need to recreate this in order for these message to disappear.

Try Dcgpofix.exe

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
