    I have 1 win7 system that will not process the computer gpo. Other systems are fine. If I run gpupdate /force I get the error: The processing of group policy failed. windows could not apply the registry-based policy setting for the group policy object local GPO. 

    We tried removing it from the domain and add it back in..no help.

    Do you use local GPOs? I assume "no", so go ahead and delete
    %Windir%\System32\GroupPolicy on this machine.

    Hi,

    The error “The processing of group policy failed. windows could not apply the registry-based policy setting for the group policy object local GPO.” Was pointing for local policy corruption.

    Please try the below steps to resolve this issue:

    1. Rename (or delete) C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol
    2. Start > run > cmd (as admin)
    3. Gpedit.msc
    4. Below administrative templates change a (not matter which) setting and then revert it. This will trigger the creation of a new registry.pol file
    5. gpupdate /force
    6. Gpo’s should process correctly now

    Best Regards,
