Summary

Group Policy Extension Failure

Group Policy uses the information collected during preprocessing to apply settings to the computer or user. The Group Policy service cycles through each client-side extension, sharing the previous collected information. Each client-side extension then applies its specific policy settings to the computer or users. During this process, one or more client-side extensions may report problems when attempting to apply policy settings.

Resolutions

Correct a Group Policy extension failure

The following Group Policy client-side extensions provide instructions to further diagnose the problem:

Scripts: Use Scripts client-side extension troubleshooting procedures to further diagnose the problem (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=92711).
Software Installation: Use Software Installation client-side extension troubleshooting procedures to further diagnose the problem (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=92713).

The following Group Policy client-side extensions do not provide additional troubleshooting information at this time:

Wireless
