    Hi,

    I have various error logs in event viewer that captures error messages such as below:

    "NtpClient was unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source because of discovery error. 

    NtpClient will try again in 3473457 minutes and double the reattempt interval thereafter. 
    The error was: The entry is not found. (0x800706E1)"

    "The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file \\....\gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not by one or more of the following:

    a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
    b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another doamin controller has not replicated to the current domain controller)
    c) The distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled."

    Appreciate any advise.

    Thank you.

    Seriously?  Thanks for the feedback and that's the end of it and it's been 3 years!?!?!?!?

    Why does Microsoft expect US, the end users, to solve all their problems?
