Re: GPUPDATE error

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello UWRFREPORTER04,

The computer is member of the domain i assume? So please post an ipconfig /all from the vista machine and your DC.

Best regards

I'm receiving this error when I'm trying to enfore a group policy
update onto a Vista machine. I don't get the error when I run
GPUPDATE, but do get it when I run GPUPDATE /FORCE

"C:\>gpupdate /force
Updating Policy...
User policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors
were encountered:

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the
computer name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another
domain controller has not replicated to the current domain
controller).
Computer Policy update has completed successfully.
To diagnose the failure, review the event log or invoke gpmc.msc to
access information about Group Policy results."

There is an error in the event viewer, but it says the same thing. I
don't understand what's going on and I think it's why my roaming
profile stored on the Server I used for XP is not working.
