Essentially, when you don't let FRS do what its supposed to do, it gets
confused, and creates duplicates of files that you manually copied, with
funny names on the end of them. I used to recommend doing what you did
myself, until someone who was an FRS expert warned me otherwise.

What do you mean by morphed files ?

I would agree except for manually copying the files. This can cause morphed
files in FRS, so I would fix the FRS replication issue first.

Check if the gpt.ini file indeed exists in the sysvol folders on ALL domain
controllers. I have this problem with 3 of my DCs, where file replication
happens for some of the items in the sysvol folder. Try manually copy the
files that are missing, this works fine for me. I don't know what is causing
the replication to be incomplete. Good luck finding a solution

Building on what Darren just said, in the past I've had good luck fixing
oddball issues that just affect a single user/machine by the sledgehammer
method of removing from, then rejoining the domain.
It's great when you can figure out the root cause of something like this,
but sometimes you just need to get up and running again quickly.

seemingly no changes to GPO or system
Whenever one of my users logs in or runs gpupdate, he gets this error:
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=domain,DC
=name,DC=edu. The file must be present at the location <\\domain.name.edu
<http://domain.name.edu/> \sysvol\domain.name.edu <http://domain.name.edu/>
\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>. (Access is
denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted.
I am just starting to research, but figured, I would pose the question with
this group as well, to determine where I should start the troubleshooting
