Hi,
I am getting the dreaded event id's 1058 and 1030 on our backup windows 2003 DC.
Specifically this line (our info has been masked):
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1058
Date: 6/20/2008
Time: 11:05:16 AM
User: <Our Domain>\administrator
Computer: <our DC Name>
Description:
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=<ourdomain>,DC=local. The file must be present at the location <\\<our domain>.local\sysvol\<our domain>.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>. (Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
I have read a lot of information on the subject so far.
Heres what I have done (with minor results).
It appears that about a year ago the server encountered a DFS JRNL_WRAP error. I then found information in KB290762 on how to do a non-authoritative DFS restore from our good known main DC. Previous to this I could not access the Group policy management console from that particular DC.
I also ran the dfsutil /purgemupcache option after the non-authoritative restore.
The result now was that I was able to open the Group policy from the backup DC but still got the errors.
I then tried opening the Default GPO, changing a couple of options and then changing them back. I Also changed security permissions to the GPO and then changed them back and click Okay. (effectively forcing the ACL's get re-written on the object).
The result was that I still have the 1030 and 1058 messages every 5 minnutes and that sometimes varies throughout the day.
Any ideas on what to look at next ?
I am currently investigating the userenv.log (by turning on logging in the registry) and will post my results if needed.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin.
