>Hello Chuck Kercsmar,
>
>Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.
>
>I understand that you notice there is Event occurs frequently on your SBS
>2K3 Server. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
>
>Based on my research, this issue can be caused by varies of reasons,
please
>try my following suggestions first. If the issue persists, then please
help
>to gather following information for further research.
>
>==================
>
>Suggestions:
>
>1. I strongly suggest that we run the Configure E-mail and Internet
>Connection Wizard (CEICW) to configure SBS network settings. Please re-run
>the CEICW per following Knowledge Base article:
>
>825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
>2003
>http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763
>
>2. Make sure that the antivirus is not scanning the sysvol folder.
>
>822158 Virus scanning recommendations on a Windows 2000 or on a Windows
>Server 2003 domain controller
>http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822158
>
>3. Check the contents and the permissions of the Sysvol folder:
>
>By default, the Sysvol folder is located in the %systemroot% folder. Syvol
>contains the domain's group policy objects, the Sysvol and Netlogon
shares,
>and the file replication service (FRS) staging folder. If the permissions
>on the Sysvol folder or the Sysvol share are too restrictive, this can
>cause group policies to fail with Userenv errors. Additionally, Userenv
>errors can occur if the Sysvol share or group policy objects are missing.
>
>To make sure the Sysvol share is available, run the "net share" command on
>the SBS server. SYSVOL should appear in the list of shares. Also, make
sure
>that the Netlogon share is listed. If the Sysvol or Netlogon share is
>missing, see the following articles for information about troubleshooting
>this problem:
>
>257338 Troubleshooting Missing SYSVOL and NETLOGON Shares on Windows 2000
>Domain Controllers
>http://support.microsoft.com/?id=257338
>
>After you make sure the Sysvol share is available, make sure that the
>Sysvol folder, the Sysvol share, and the root of the volume that contains
>the Sysvol folder are configured with the the correct permissions.
>
>On Windows Server 2003, the Everyone group should have the Read & Execute
>special permission applied to "This folder only", and the domain\Users
>group should have the following standard permissions:
>
>Read & Execute
>List Folder Contents
>Read
>
>Additionally, on Windows Server 2003, the domain\Users group should have
>the following special permissions:
>
>Read & Execute applied to "This folder, subfolders and files"
>Create Folder / Append Data applied to "This folder and subfolders"
>Create Files / Write Data applied to "Subfolders only"
>
>For the permissions required for the Sysvol folder and the Sysvol share,
>see the following KB article:
>
>290647 Event ID 1000, 1001 Is Logged Every Five Minutes in the Application
>Event Log
>http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290647
>
>4. Make sure that the "Bypass traverse checking" right is granted to the
>required groups. To do so:
>
>a. On the SBS server, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs,
point
>to Administrative Tools, and then click Domain Controller Security Policy.
>
>b. Expand Security Settings, expand Local Policies, and then click User
>Rights Assignment.
>
>c. Double-click the "Bypass traverse checking" policy setting.
>
>d. Click to check the "Define these policy settings" box, if the option is
>not enabled already.
>
>e. The following groups should be listed for this policy setting:
>
>Administrators
>Authenticated Users
>Everyone
>Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access
>
>If any of these groups are missing, click Add, type the name of the
missing
>group, and then click OK.
>
>f. Click OK to close the policy setting.
>
>g. Go to Start -> Run "gpupdate /force" (without quotation marks) command.
>
>===================
>
>If the issue persists, please help to gather following information for
>further research:
>
>1. You mentioned "I have gone through numerous support articles", I need
to
>know what articles you have tried, I greatly appreciated if you could give
>me these articles' links so we can skip these steps, and save your time.
>
>2. When did the issue occur? Did you have this Event ID before? Did you
>make install any updates/software or make any changes on the server,
>recently?
>
>3. On the server, run "eventvwr" (without quotation marks), check whether
>there is any error. If yes, double click it, click the Copy button and
>paste the full content to the Newsgroup.
>
>[Note]: Please do not delete or modify any event information. We need the
>exact error information for accurate research.
>
>4. On the server, go to Start -> Run "services.msc" (without quotation
>marks), make sure following two services are running:
>
>TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service
>Distributed File System service
>
>5. Check which GPO it is. To do so,
>
>a. Open Group Policy Management\Forest\Domains\DomainName.local\Group
>Policy Objects.
>
>b. Click each of the GPO underneath, on the right pane, Details tab.
>
>c. Check which Unique ID is "{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}"?
>
>6. Just double check, besides this issue, do SBS Server and all client
>workstations work correctly? Is there any performance or Exchange issue?
>
>Please take your time to perform the steps above and collect the
>information for us to troubleshoot your issue. If anything is unclear,
>please feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
