We discovered that although we disable the firewall through a domain

policy, some XP Service Pack 2 machines still have the firewall

enabled.

These workstations are generating events1030 and 1058 errors in the

event log indicating problems with policy application. I've read a lot

of things on the internet about these errors including issues with the

DFS client, DNS configuration problems, and other things that were

remedied by XP SP2 - but I've confirmed these things are correct.

When we log onto these machines with a domain ID and run GPRESULT, we

get the following message, but we do not get a message when we log on

with a local ID:

INFO: The User "domain\username" does not have RSOP data.

Looking further into the problem, I receive an "Access Denied" error

when attempting to connect to \\domain.com\sysvol directory although I

am able to connect to this share with the same domain ID on different

XP workstations.

Any ideas why some of our XP machines are having this problem?

Thanks!

All kinds of ideas come to mind, but in your case it could be specific to

just one :)

What else do you see in the system log, especially at startup time? That'll

help to narrow down the possibilities more than anything.

nothing significant in the logs after boot-up. Interestingly, the 1030

and 1058 errors (source Userenv) get generated in the log as both the

user and the SYSTEM account, if that helps.

Is this you?

The mupcache would be of the most interest. Before you do anything with

either of these, have a look at the event logs on the domain controllers for

more information. dcdiag is a useful utility as well that might shed some

light on issues if they are occuring at that level.
