Then the next step may be to try and do a network trace between the client
and its DC. If you are still getting directory server errors, I don't see
any other obvious path at the moment, other than to check the event logs on
the DC in question to ensure that nothing is amiss.

After running GPOTool these are the results I got on the DC:

Minseh-

Are you sure that SYSVOL on that DC that the client is using is ok? I mean,
can you compare it to the PDC emulator to make sure? It sounds like that DC
is still having some kind of problem, either with SYSVOL or something in AD.
You might want to run GPOTool against that DC and see what it says. Also
make sure that the client's DNS config. is correct. A "directory service
error" sounds fairly fatal.

In an attempt to resolve this I have implemented the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840669

The following error now appears in RSOP:

Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
A directory service error has occurred.

Note:  Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components
processed their policy.  Consequently, status information for the other
components is not available

Thanks

Recently on one of my sites the Sysvol was overwritten with a empty folder.
The Sysvol was restored from a backup.

Those GPO's that were applying software and policy are failing on a new
build machine.
A RSOP on a new build displays the following error:

10 June 2008 9:00:47 pm

Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Note:  Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components
processed their policy.  Consequently, status information for the other
components is not available.


I ran a DCDiag and everything passed...

Software installation via GP on the old build prior to the Sysvol loss works
fine.

 


Sysvol permissions have been checked against another DC in another domain
and are exactly the same.

I can navigate to the Sysvol from the client machine and open scripts, and I
can navigate to the software share from the client machine and manually run
the MSI's sucessfully.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is?
