The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer name. Event ID 1055 (Windows could not resolve the computer name)
I just added a Windows 2012 R2 server in domain and I started getting a lot of errors about Group Policy
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Date: 2/27/2014 5:17:13 PM
Event ID: 1055
Task Category: None
Level: Error
User: SYSTEM
Description:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
I tried many solutions i.e., DNS records verification (no duplicates), domain unjoin-rejoin, computer object permission verification, Right OU placement, computer account reset, including many google suggestions but none of them helped.
Solution:
Renamed Computer name and put the server in workgroup.
Reboot the server
Delete the Computer object from AD
Rename the server back to original name
Join the server back to domain
Reboot the server
Issue resolved....
Gpupdate /force updated both computer and User polices without any error.
