Re: Group Policy Timeout on one server in an OU.

So the script is a computer startup script and not a user logon script? Does gpresult show the script and show which GPO its coming from? Another option here is that you can reduce the timeout before scripts give up by setting the policy at computer configuration\admin templates\system\scripts\maximum wait time for GP scripts

When I run GPResult I can see that GPOs are applied successfully, but
it is still hanging a long time at startup and the terminated GPO error
still rears its head.

And possibly its a logon script that only applies to certain users that log
onto that machine. You might just want to run gpresult when that problem
user is logged on to see what the script is.
