I’m running W2K Service Pack 3.
I configured group policy with the secure domain controller template.
A recent change to group policy to decrease the amount of retries to save the registry , I got this error message in the system log:

6 minutes later i got a message saying the the group policy had been applied successfully, but I still was running into problems with Access Denied problems.
After creating a script to set sysvol upon startup and refreshing the machine policy , I get the following warning and error every 5 minutes:
