Anyone ever encountered this problem with Group policy?

[Witor]

Might not even be a group policy problem though RSoP seems to indicate it is...

Essentially, no clients running Windows 7 (affecting 2 Organizational units at the moment) can pick up their mapped network dives and redirected "my documents" folder at all, as well as a couple of icons we place on their desktop as shortcuts for our intranet page and departmental shares. I've tried (as a test) setting their mapped drives via both a login script (under user configuration in group policy) and via Windows 2008 r2 preferences (i.e user configuration\preferences\drive maps).

Nothing works, and it's causing a major headache. Nothing has changed config wise recently, and affected departments were working well until monday. Nothing in event viewer seems to indicate a change. XP machines on the same departments seem unaffected.

Affected machines are Windows 7 (32bit) Enterprise, domain controllers (2) = one W2008 R2 and one W2008 machine.

Event ID: 8196
Event Source: Group Policy Drive Maps
Event Type: Error
Event Description: The client-side extension caught the unhandled exception ''''''''0xC0000005'''''''' inside: ''''''''threadEntry : client main'''''''' See trace file for more details.

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

Comment: Happened following event ID 111 from Folder Redirection and 1085 from Userenv with Folder Redirection being the failing client-side extension and the user''''s roaming profile failed to load correctly. Was followed by a 1509 from Userenv indicating a file that couldn''''t be copied from the profile as "the system cannot find the path specified".

It appears to be some kind of access violation error. The roaming profile and local cached copy were both deleted. User logged on and successfully got a new profile

Major headache, internets does not really reveal much of use at the moment.

Further information.

Running RSoP on the Windows 2008 server yields no problems

Running it on the Windows 2008 R2 server gives me the following:

Were there any updates installed?

 

[Witor]

No, thats the annoying thing, no updates made in the last week. Last updates were performed on January 7th, usual Windows patches. Both DC's running fine since then until this...

Found this, looks good to me,

I encountered the same problem with roaming profile on Terminal Server. Event 111 followed by Event1085 from source Userenv. The user seems to have lost the rights to his registry hive (HKCU). I loaded the user's ntuser.dat in regedt32 and granted him the rights.

Thanks.

Bit unsure as to how to actually carry out what that says though.

Not sure if it's much help, but have you tried creating a brand new Group Policy with maybe just your redirection settings, and applying that to your Windows 7 machines, and see if that works?

As the problem affects all your Windows 7 machines, maybe there's a problem/corruption with your production GPO that causing the Group Policy processing engine to crash.
