Machine account policy failure - Active Directory GPO lookup failure

Machine_account_policy_failure___Active_Directory_GPO_lookup_failure_5_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

UserEnv experienced an error applying Group Policy to the domain controller. Group Policy must be applied successfully for domain controllers to function properly because domain controllers get several critical permissions, such as Access this computer from network, through policy.

Because of the architecture of UserEnv, Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) is unable to directly report the specific problem.

Sample Event:

Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.

Causes

This may indicate that the Active Directory® directory service has failed. Problems with replication are the main cause of this error.

Resolutions

To enable UserEnv logging, see Knowledge Base article 221833, “How to Enable User Environment Debug Logging in Retail Builds of Windows” at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=25636. The log file provides details for the specific error.
