This error comes up in the applog every 5 minutes.

Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO The file must be present at the location <>. (). Group Policy processing aborted.

The userenvlog pointed me to the policy in question and the gpt.ini file is there. Posted below in the userenvlog for the last refresh. The policy if for the Kerberos Token Size.

I'm chasing a ghost... :-)

Thanks!
