I messed around with a GPO editing tool in order to implement "hide computer drives" policy on windows 2003 server. Since then I got a system error on my events log to say :

Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=80TEST,DC=TEST. The file must be present at the location <\\80TEST.TEST\sysvol\80TEST.TEST\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>. (Access is denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Any help is well accepted. Thank you.

  • And the question is...? Access is denied to \\80TEST.TEST\sysvol\80TEST.TEST\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini, so Group Policy processing is aborted. Not sure what's unclear in that error message.

  • The file exists... and I made the secure policy for the file is everyone to have full access... even with that I get this message.

    What do you mean I made the secure policy for the file is everyone to have full access? Are you manually setting permissions on the GPO or the folder?

    What permissions does the "80TEST.TEST\Users" group have to that file and the folder?

    And what is this "GPO editing tool" that you were messing around with? Was it the GPMC?

  • @Vagelism22678 - In your GPO's console, check the detail tab, you will see the id near the end, it's the same as the folder name !

  • @vagelism22678 - Oh, its normal for that one, recover from a backup the directory before you edited it.
