"The system cannot find the file specified" Adprep /gpprep error, or tool crashes" describes an issue where the https://dirteam.com/sander/2012/10/13/quot-the-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified-quot-adprep-gpprep-error-or-tool-crashes/ Group Policy Preparation fails or crashes. The main reason for this behavior is the Domain Controller holding the Infrastructure Master Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) role http://serverfault.com/questions/38273/corrupt-or-missing-default-domain-policy in this domain implements a disjoint namespace. Adprep.exe assumes that computer names will match their domain names because this match is the default behavior in group policy all versions of Windows. About Disjoint Namespaces A disjoint namespace scenario is one in which the primary DNS suffix of a computer does not match the DNS domain name where that computer resides. The computer with the primary DNS suffix that does not match is said to be disjoint. Another disjoint namespace the system cannot scenario occurs if the NetBIOS domain name of a domain controller does not match the DNS domain name. Disjoint namespaces are not a Microsoft best practice. About manual Group Policy Preparation As written before, a couple of scenarios exist where you need to perform Group Policy Preparation separately on the commandline, despite the new automatic Active Directory Upgrade process in Windows Server 2012’s Active Directory Domain Services Configuration Wizard and Install-ADDSDomainController Cmdlet: The automatic Active Directory preparation functionality in Windows Server 2012 does not perform Group Policy Preparation, to avoid situations where specific rights on SYSVOL have been delegated get reset to the defaults. More details can be found in the blogpost Group Policy preparation is not performed when you automatically prepare an existing domain for Windows Server 2012. When you upgrade an Active Directory environment with Windows Server 2003 x64-based Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2012, the adprep.exe from the Windows Server 201

The Domain functional level is Windows Server 2003, but the Forest functional level is Windows 2000 (the domain used to be primarily hosted on a Windows 2000 Server machine). A couple of weeks ago, a co-worker and I removed the Windows 2000 Server from the domain, moving all FSMO roles to the Windows Server 2003 machine, making it the primary and only domain controller. Unfortunately, we forgot to move a couple of things, such as GPOs and login scripts. The majority of the login scripts have been recreated, as well as the GPOs, but we still have a couple of small remaining issues. One of which is this little error we get roughly every 5 minutes: Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=OURDOMAIN,DC=com. The file must be present at the location <\OURDOMAIN.com\sysvol\OURDOMAIN.com\Policies{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}\gpt.ini>. (The system cannot find the path specified. ). Group Policy processing aborted. Shortly after receiving this error, we receive the following error: 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. Now, things that I've recreated such as Folder Redirection are currently working just fine, so as far as I can tell, the GPOs that exist are being found by the client workstations, and are being applied, so we're good on that part. However, I would like to get these errors to go away because it's rather annoying. (I receive copies of all errors in my inbox every morning). I have attempted to run dcgpofix, however this only gives me the following error message: Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] (C) Copyright 19
