Machine Group policy not applied

[Gary Hunter]

Group policy was at one time functioning properly.
Domain had 2 Servers running Active Directory. Server 2
was demoted, removed and replaced with server 3 which was
then promoted.
Some time later it was noticed that group olicy was nort
being applied to workstations. Following is an excerpt of
userenv.log:
____
USERENV(bc.240) 11:47:52:500 ParseRegistryFile: CreateFile
failed with 5
USERENV(bc.240) 11:47:52:562 ProcessGPORegistryPolicy:
ParseRegistryFile failed.
USERENV(bc.240) 11:47:52:562 ProcessGPOList:

USERENV(bc.240) 11:47:54:046 ProcessGPOs: Extension

Any suggestions?

Gary:
The root cause may be the ntuser.pol registry file is corrupted. Manually
deleting or renaming the ntuser.pol should correct the policy issue.
