Re: GPO Error 1030 - Help Please!

Hi Harj,

Thanks for your reply. It is client specific. No DC's show this error.
The Client machines are all pointed to the DC for DNS. The DC is
pointing to iself for DNS. I have already checked all of these
settings. Yes i have also read about the fact that multi homed DC's
have issues with this. No we are not recieving Error 1058.

Thanks a lot.

Hi All,

I would appreciate some help on the following problem:

Company is running Windows SBS 2003 SP1 as DC, DHCP, DNS etc. We like
to control a lot of our security settings by using GPMC. Last week, I
made a new policy to apply to all of the client computers and when i
went to test it on the clients, I used gpupdate /force in command
prompt and restarted the computer to fully update the Group Policy.
However, when I logged back on, the computer came up with an error
1030 in event viewer stating:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1030
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: User_Name
Computer: Computer_Name
Description: Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy
objects. A message that describes the reason for this was previously
logged by the policy engine. For more information, see Help and
Support Center athttp://support.microsoft.com.

I proceeded to find Support KB on Microsoft 887303 (http://
support.microsoft.com/kb/887303) however, i tried every single thing
and everything matched to what the KB article said I should have
done.

Our Server Specs as follow:
Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server SP1
Multi Homed System (2 NICs - One Internal, One External)
Full Redundancy (2 Power Supplies)
2 Intel Xeon Processors 3.00GHz (With HT)
2GB RAM
Intel SE7520AF2 Server Motherboard
4 Hard Drives - RAID 5

Does anybody have any idea as to why this would happen? I have tried
everything in KB 887303 and yet I have not found anything that has
applied to the server (DFS, DNS, DHCP is running etc).

Have also tried multiple other places like Kevin Weilbacher's blog
which has something of this nature but still did not work.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Is this error happening on ALL client machines or is this issue
machine specific?
More importantly, are you getting these errors on any Domain
Controller?
Usually, this points to DNS but there could be a few issues.

Where is the client machine pointed to for DNS? Where is the DC
pointed to for DNS?
I have always seen issues with multi homed domain controllers so that
is also a place to start.
Are you receiving a 1058 error as well?

Good Luck
