Event ID 1704 SceCli logged every 1-2 mins in Application Log

Hello,
I am currently getting a problem whereby some XP Pro users (approx 5 out of 70) are experiencing very slow performance on their PCs, on inspecting their event logs it seems that this is being caused by group policy constantly refreshing as they are constantly getting event ID 1704 in their application logs every 1-2 mins.
On searching the forum I found this post:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/608144ab-9ba8-4847-8e08-181b6a8eda4dWhich directs to KB article 277543, this says to check that the following registry key is set to the default value of 960 mins:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{827D319E-6EAC-11D2-A4EA-00C04F79F83A}
Value: MaxNoGPOListChangesInterval
Data: Minutes of delay, entered in hexadecimal By default, this value is set to 0x3c0, (960 minutes or 16 hours). When you set this value to 0x2760, the client waits 7 days to refresh the policy when there have been no changes to the GPO."I have checked all the PCs that are getting these event logs and they are all set to the default 960.
All PCs are XP Pro SP3 and the DC is 2008 standard.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your response, below is the output. You will notice that there is a policy called Disable background refresh underlined and bold. I have added this policy to disable background refreshes completely so no group policy updates are applied while the user is logged on. This has solved the problem, however if you have any ideas as to why the policy would have been updated almost every minute this would be great as ideally I would like to remove this new policy to allow refreshes at the set intervals, i.e. the 960mins default.

HI,
We could use a polic named "group policy refresh interval for computers" to control this behaviors.

Hi Jason,
I have just given this a try, I set the group policy interval to 360mins (6 hours) with an offset of 30mins. Applied the polciy and it has inserted the keys into my registry:
- Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\ System
Name: GroupPolicyRefreshTime
Type: REG_DWORD
Value Date: 180 (360mins) - Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\ System
Name: GroupPolicyRefreshTimeOffset
Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 1e (30mins)
However I am now getting the 1704 event every minute again:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: SceCli
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1704
Date: 01/03/2012
Time: 10:07:12
User: N/A
Computer: COMPUTERNAMEDescription:
Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully.For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I am going to go back to enforcing the "Disable Background Refresh" for now but this is not ideal as it doesn't allow "gpupdate /force"

יום חמישי 01 מרץ 2012 17:35Hi, Venkman.Open Event Viewer and navigate to Applications and Services Logs -Microsoft - Windows - GroupPolicy - Operational. Set a filter for EventID "4000-4010". What type of GPO processing do you see - periodic or manual?I assume you see "manual", and I also assume that you have a custom taskdeployed or a computer startup script / user logon script running in thebackground that executes "gpupdate". Hard to track this down in theforum, but you may check task manager for "gpupdate.exe" to confirm orabandon what I assume.sincerely, Martin
NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing: Good or bad GPOs?

HI,
please create a new OU, don't link any gpo to this new OU and place the affected computer to this new OU. Then check if the issue happens again.

Thanks for your response.
The GPO processing is "periodic"
Also we have no custom task or logon script running for gpupdate.exe that I know of

Hi Jason,
I created the new OU, put the computer in that OU and this was no longer happening for that computer. I then added the GPOs to the OU one by one performing a gpupdate and restarting the computer each time until all the GPOs that were applied when the computer was in the old OU and it still isn't happening. However it is still happening to other computers in the old OU with the same GPOs applied.
I have decided to give up on this and just disable the background refresh on GP, at least it stops the problem for now (however means I need to restart every time I want to perform a gpupdate).
Thanks for everyone's suggestions! If I do come accross the reason behind this I will post it up.
