Resultant Set of Policy/gpresult: access denied error message

Posted on October 16th, 2008

When running a Resultant Set of Policy from the Group policy management Console (GPMC) the following error is displayed:

Also, the following ‘access denied’ error appears when running gpresult.exe from a command prompt on the server:

Running on other servers seems okay, but on these specific servers there is a problem.

Resolution

This can be resolved by doing the following:

cmd
c:
cd\windows\system32

regsvr32 /n /I userenv.dll

cd\windows\system32\wbem
mofcomp scersop.mof

gpupdate /force

Tested as working on Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise Edition. (and it doesn’t even need a reboot)
