Hi there

Every couple of hours we get this message appearing in the
Event Viewer;

Windows cannot access the registry information at
\\care1.local\sysvol\care1.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-
11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Machine\registry.pol with (1351).

Subsequently users get disconnected from the server. Have
re-applied SP4 and checked for all the other updates.

The file registry.pol does exist at c:\winnt\sysvol etc
etc and I can find the entry in Regedit. However, if I
try to view/modify the lines in the registry I get error
messages preventing me from doing so.

Any ideas anyone? We're running Windows 2000 Server &
Exchange 2000. Single domain.
