GROUP POLICY PROBLEM: Windows XP and Windows 2000 server

Hello:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1058
Date: 2/12/2002
Time: 7:25:40 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: <ComputerName>
Description: Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO

CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=lcds,DC=lab
The file must be present at the location \\lcds.lab\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}
(Network path not found) Group Policy processing aborted.
--------------------------------------------------------------

The difference is ACCESS DENIED, and NETWOPRK PATH NOT FOUND.
Also, How do you make sure that DFS is started automatically, and how do you start it automatically. I don't see it listed as a 'service'.

I clicked on Application Event Log, and viewed the application log. I noticed I was getting a Userenv error # 1030, and # 1058, but the errors are not exactly the same, but I tried it anyway... no luck

I searched on the web those events, and found a 'fix', the fix was enabling DFS by changing a Registry Key. (This is the guide I followed: http://www.jsiinc.com/subk/tip5100/rh5168.htm)

Enabling DFS DID NOT WORK. Enabling File and Print Sharing while enabling DFS DID NOT WORK. I have had several ITs over since I tried that and even they are stumped. This is my last resort.

Can anyone help me

Thanks.

You can check http://www.eventid.net/. I usually find good information about the Id Error but you have to paid.

Hope it help.
