Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You add a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 Server Core to a Windows Server 2008 domain.
  • You enable one or more Group Policy preferences in a Group Policy object (GPO).

  • At an elevated command prompt on the computer, you run the gpupdate /force command.

In this scenario, the Group Policy preferences are applied successfully. However, the following warning message is logged in the Application log: Additionally, the following warning message is logged in the System log:These two event logs indicate that the following files are missing on the computer:
