That was one of my first guesses :-) Did the event log tell you to "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 ?
If so that's not what the DS guys at MS will tell you to do today but I don't know if the event log guidance ever got updated. Last time it happened to me on 2K3SP1 the bogus advice was still in the event log entry. What they will tell you to do today is a non-authoritative SYSVOL restore, AKA a D2 restore. That is actually a "feature" that used to be the default behavior that was disabled in W2KSP3 and W2KSP3 hotfix versions of Ntfrs.exe I can dig up the details if it's of interest... -----Original Message----- From: Craig Gauss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 1:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Userenv errors Yes -----Original Message----- From: Free, Bob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 3:35 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Userenv errors Journal wrap hosing FRS replication? -----Original Message----- From: Craig Gauss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 1:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Userenv errors Ran GPOTool and ended up finding replication was completely hosed on one of our domain controllers. Probably could have found the issue if I would have looked at the event log on that server. Followed the event log suggestion and made the necessary registry changes. (Finally an event log entry that helped for once) Rebooted and the errors have begun to go away. -----Original Message----- From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 2:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Userenv errors Do share!

That error will show up if the computer accounts don't have proper permissions. Run GPOtool to check the GPOs in that domain, it will identify a lot of problems right there without a lot of manual checking. There are a lot of other things to check but start there. Gpresult from an affected client can also be illuminating -----Original Message----- From: Craig Gauss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 5:45 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Userenv errors I have been searching Google for the past few days and havent really found a good solution. Wondering if anyone on the list has ever had issues like this. We have a large amount of workstations with the following error: Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO The file must be present at the location <>. (). Group Policy processing aborted.
