Hello,
Have you seen the follow KBs?

Group Policy processing does not work and events 1030 and 1058 are logged in
the application log of a domain controller:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=842804

You receive event ID 1097 and event ID 1030 error events when you restart a
Windows Server 2003-based domain controller
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832215

Also have a look at this page.
