    Dear All,

    I have updated my domain from windows 2003 to windows 2008 r2. After migrating I noticed that group policy is not working on users and computers. I ran gpresult /v and rsop.msc and found that software package gererating error and showing that source server is not responding. The pointing source server had been removed long time and not part of our AD. Below is the error showing on client side for your reference.

    User Policy update has completed successfully.

    The following warnings were encountered during user policy processing:

    Windows failed to apply the Software Installation settings. Software Installatio
    n settings might have its own log file. Please click on the "More information" l
    ink.
    Computer Policy update has completed successfully.

    For more detailed information, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.
    html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.

    I hope this will help and if need any clarification kindly let me know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    You need collect more information for troubleshooting. Run "gpresult /h report.html" command and go through the report.html file. Also check the event viewer for related error/warning message.

    Regards,
    Cicely

    Howdie!

    Apart from gpresult, you might want to look at the og of the problematic Client. Both should give you an indication of what GPO there is that uses Software Installation to deploy a package, and you can troubleshoot further.

    If I understand you correctly, the "pointing source Server" is the Server Hosting the MSI file -- and is no longer available. Then clearly, the GPO should be removed.

    Florian... you are right that server is not available. Attached is the rsop result for your reference where source server is not available but software installation package pointing that server. Kindly assit how to fix group policy from domain.

    Right click the msi - all tasks - remove. Then add again from a valid
    source (DFS recommended...)
     
    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing: Good or bad GPOs?

    Muhammad,

    from the rsop, you should see the Group Policy's name, where the Software Installation happens. There should be a column saying "GPO Name".

    Now, as a AD or GPO administrator, open the GPMC and track down the GPO. Open the GPO and edit the "Software Installation" piece for the user - to delete the Software package.

    If this is the only setting deployed in the GPO (you can find out in GPMC with the "Settings" tab -- the HTML report), you can delete the GPO entirely.

    Sorry to replying late....I found the problematic GPO as Florian mentioned in GPMC, after deleting GPO the issue resolved. Later on applied some policies on Domain for verifiying policies are working. Execute command gpupdate /force on client computer and got error

    User policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered

    The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not apply the registry-based policy settings for the Group Policy object LDAP:{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}. Group Policy settings will not be resolved until this event is resolved. View the event details for more information on the file name and path that caused the failure.
    Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered:

    The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for several hours, then contact your administrator.

    To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.

    Kindly suggest how to implement policies from Domain to client computers
