Event ID 1058 and 1030
Posted by aaron in Server 2003, The FunPuddle on December 22nd, 2010
I ran into issues with one of my domain controllers at work the other day. I was having trouble figuring this out, I looked online at technet, M$ Forums, etc. Below is a similar error that was filling my application event log every 5 minutes.
Event ID: 1058
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=Example,DC=com.
The file must be present at the location
<\\example.com\sysvol\example.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(The system cannot find the path specified. ). Group Policy processing
aborted.
Event ID: 1030 would then follow the 1058 error. I figured out that the GUID “31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9″ was referring to my default domain policy. I followed multiple M$ articles until I stumbled on Mark Minasi’s reader forum to which he suggested that dfs was not working between domain controllers. I have posted the fix for me below, I hope this helps someone!
dfsutil /PurgeMupCache – You will need the windows support tools installed on the DC!

I stumbled across the article on pcmag’s website that listed some details of the security hole. According to the article the hole was caused by facebooks attempt at security improvements! Looks like facebook chat is down for the moment which is probaly a good idea, but pcmag has listed details on how the hack works, I have copied them below.
On your Facebook page, click Account and choose Privacy settings.
Click the “Personal Information and Posts” link.
Click the “Preview my Profile” button * In the box labeled “Preview how your profile appears to a specific person”, choose any friend.
The pcmag article is really worth the read.
