Win7 system will not process computer policy

-
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.

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