Hi Jimmy,
You mentioned in an offline thread that "The following is the error im my
app log every 5 mitutes on the servers. I did a net helpmsg on 13 and it
said "The data is invalid"."
Source: Userenv
Description:
Windows cannot access the registry information at
\\domainname.com\sysvol\domainname.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C
04FB984F9}\Machine\registry.pol with (13).
I replied with the following solution and you confirmed that it resolved
your issue.
_______________________________________________
It appears the registry.pol file under
\\domainname.com\sysvol\domainname.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C
04FB984F9}\Machine is corrupt or "the data is invalid" for some reason.
The {31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9} policy is the Default Domain
Policy.
The only way to recover from this is to remove the bad registry.pol file.
You will loose any custom setting you configured in the Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates portion of the policy but you can add
them back later if you documented what these settings were. By default
there are none here.
Here are the steps to fix this:
1. Logon to the PDC Emualtor and Move the registry.pol file out of
c:\winnt\sysvol\domain\policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Machi
ne to the desktop.
2. From the PDC Emulator open AD Users and Computers and Edit the Default
Domain Policy. Specifically, you want to make a minor change under Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates to build a new registry.pol file. To
do this just Enable the policy setting called "Disable Autoplay" under
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System. After the new
registry.pol file is generated the policy should apply to clients once it
has replicated to all DCs.
3. You can test it right away on the PDC emulator by running "secedit
/refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce" (without the quotes) from the
command line. Check Application event log afterwards and verify there are
no SceCli or Userenv Errors.
If you want you can go back into the policy and set "Disable Autoplay" back
to not configured.
