RE: [ActiveDir] Group Policy and Event ID: 1054

[Mulnick, Al]

So nothing changed?  :)   Have you checked your Active Directory?  Specifically name resolution?  How'd it turn out? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brenda Wilkins Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Group Policy and Event ID: 1054 Here's my problem. We have computers in the lab that are working just fine in all ways including applying the correct Group Policy. Then all of a sudden, out of no where, a random number of computers begin to give me the message below. And nothing seems to get it back. Not even removing it from the domain and then re-adding it back in. The only thing that seems to work is redeploying the original image and reconfiguring. What is going on here? And more importantly, how do I make it stop!?!? Group Policy Infrastructure Failed 7/21/2004 10:58:01 AM Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below. The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Note: Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy. Consequently, status information for the other components is not available. Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in the console or the application event log for events between 7/21/2004 10:58:01 AM and 7/21/2004 10:58:01 AM.
