Userenv 1030 and 1058 errors every 5 minutes

Hi Everyone,

I am getting the following two errors every 5 minutes on my two
Windows 2003 R2 domain controllers:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1030
Date: 3/27/2008
Time: 10:32:42 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: COMPUTER
Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the
event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine
that describes the reason for this.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1058
Date: 3/27/2008
Time: 10:32:42 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: COMPUTER
Description:
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM.
The file must be present at the location <\\DOMAIN.COM\sysvol
\DOMAIN.COM\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(Access is denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The DCs are in a Windows 2003 R2 domain with 3 other Windows 2000
DCs. The errors seemed to start around the time that I demoted
another Windows 2000 DC. I have searched for hours on this and tried
all of the suggestions such as clearing the MUP cache, resetting the
permissions on the gpt.ini file and it's parent folders, etc.
However, the problem persists. There doesn't seem to be any ill
effects from it, but it's quite annoying. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Damian Profancik

Hello dprofancik@gmail.com,

Run dcdiag /v netdiag /v and replmon to check for errors on all DC's. Also
post an unedited ipconfig /all from all DC/DNS servers here.

Best regards

Did you check if there actually -is- a:

DOMAIN.COM\sysvol\DOMAIN.COM\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9

Folder on all your DC's. Sometimes simply manyally copying the folder
(or creating is) suffices to stop the error.

Yes, the path is valid, and I can access it.
