cluberti Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If you browse to \\myserver.mydomain.local\sysvol, and go into the policies folder for the domain, do you see a folder called "{62A72F2C-B896-4083-A14B-79808A1D82EE}"? If you browse to \\domain\netlogon and browse into the policies, do you see this folder there as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtjr92 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 No there are no subfolders that are in the sysvol\policies and I did not find any netlogon folder I assumed it should be under C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\Policieseither way i searched the drives of the server and only came up wit netlogon files no folder. So no those aforementioend folders were not there. Something must have happened These policies have been running for a couple years on this server.

cluberti Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Umm yeah . If you browse to \\domaincontroller\sysvol\<domain>\policies, and you don't see this folder (worse, if you don't see ANY folders), then your GPOs are gone. Restore from backup .

gtjr92 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I don't know that I have a real backup but I did copy or export the files to another folder. I have that and I created a folder in the sysvol\domain\policies\{62A72F2C-B896-4083-A14B-79808A1D82EE} among others I was not sure where to put the netlogon folder what needed to be created under that. I also noticed the group policy folder under windows seems lilke their are some files there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
