Processing of group policy failed. Windows attemted to read the file. Error 1058

[Peter56]

I have been having a lot of problems with GPO’s not applying, go into event Viewer and there are a lot of “The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\(DOMAINNAME)\SysVol\(DOMAINNAME)\Policies\{Varies}\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved” Error 1058.

 

After 4 days fixed it

 

Bloody Microsoft, they have changed a setting in Windows 10.

 

Just in case you come across GPO’s not being available here is the fix.

 

I think it also has something to do with spanning tree and the network being slow to get up and running as was said in this blog the GPO was always available when I checked it on the clients.

But basically you change the Local Computer Policy>Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network>Network Provider>Hardened UNC Paths to Enabled and click into the Show button enter the following Values

 

\\*\NETLOGON and \\*\SYSVOL both with the following values RequireMutualAuthentication=0, RequireIntegrity=0
