I have tried everything I could find on this subject to
stop getting these errors every 5 minutes in my app log,
including checking dns, checking replication, sysvol share
permissions, bindings on my nics(it does have 2 cards for
fault tolerance). Does anyone know what else I can try?
Thanks..

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Description:
Windows cannot access the registry information at
\\gilmanbp.com\sysvol\gilmanbp.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-
11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Machine\registry.pol with (13).

Did you set up any advanced logging on your GPOs? How about diving into the
userenv.log file?

If so, and still no luck, you might want to see if www.eventid.com can help,
but it is a pay service.

What Service Pack are the DCs at?

Try enabling userenv debug logging on the workstation generating this error.

221833 How to Enable User Environment Debug Logging in Retail Builds of
Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=221833

After debug logging is enabled log off and back on as a user and run the
following command in command prompt:

Windows XP client:
gpupdate /force

Windows 2000 client:
secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce

See if you get the following in the debug log:

USERENV(e0.524) 14:32:06:429 ParseRegistryFile: Entering with
<\\path\Registry.pol>.
USERENV(e0.524) 14:32:06:429 ParseRegistryFile: Invalid file version.
USERENV(e0.524) 14:32:06:429 ParseRegistryFile: Leaving.
USERENV(e0.524) 14:32:06:429 ProcessGPORegistryPolicy: ParseRegistryFile
failed.
USERENV(e0.524) 14:32:06:439 ProcessGPOList: ProcessGPORegistryPolicy
failed.
USERENV(e0.524) 14:32:06:439 ProcessGPOs: Extension Registry
ProcessGroupPolicy failed, status 0x80004005.

If you get this error let me know the GUID referenced in the
"ParseRegistryFile: Entering with \\path\Registry.pol." entry.

That message usually means that the registry.pol file in that policy is
corrupted in some fashion.

Since based on the policy GUID of the event says that it is the Default
Domain Policy, you could do the following:
257705 HOW TO: Reinitialize the EDRP on a Workgroup Computer Running Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=257705
1. Logon to the PDC Emulator and rename/delete the registry.pol file from
the message.
2. From Start -> Run type in "regsvr32 sclgntfy.dll" (without the quotes)
3. Logoff and on with an Administrator account.

Note: Any other registry based policies would be removed and would need to
be specified again.

814751 You receive no warning that the Registry.pol file is corrupted
