Running Server 2008,

I'm getting a lot of GP errors and a lot of my GP settings are not applying.
On initial investigation, it appears that it has something to due with the "Registry failed" (unspecified error) error.

When I run a GPUpdate I get two 1125's at the computer level.
Details off the System log indicate "Paremeter is incorrect".

RSoP reports only the "Registry failed" under Component Status, no errors under Policy Events.
Advanced view off of RSoP shows no errors on individual policies (Computer section has the exclamation mark though).

I tried removing the custom registry settings I applied through GP Preferences, did a GPUpdate, but the errors were still there.

These errors occur on both client (2 OU Deep) and server (1 OU Deep) side.

I looked at another thread that stated they had a similar problem here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasecurity/thread/c45a02f3-752f-4d9a-ae4b-fc1f8c38cd63/
...but there was really no solution.

How do I locate what's causing the error and fix it?

SOLVED!

All of my GP errors and failures were becuase of a typo in Microsoft's ADMX template for Search Providers here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918238

Look closely at the ADMX template...specifically:
```
       <item key=" Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\SUBKEY1" valueName="URL">
            <value>
                <string>URL1</string>
            </value>
        </item>
```
Notice anything?
There is a SPACE before "Software"!

I had to use a third party reg edit tool to remove the roague registry settings from the "Registry.pol" file in the GP.
Now everything is working again.

Hello,

did you follow this one and the included links:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727321(WS.10).aspx

To get a better understanding of your setup,an unedited ipconfig /all from the problem machine and the DC/DNS can be helpful. The GPO is linked to an OU where the computers/users are located?
