User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Computer:

Description: Policy for users, in the GPO ' ' was not applied because the GPO’s license does not include any OU or domain at or above ' ' where the GPO is linked.

Note In this event message,  represents the name of the current computer,   represents the GUID of the GPO, and   represents the distinguished name of the container with which the GPO is associated. The event source may vary depending on which PolicyMaker client-side extension (CSE) fails.



CAUSE
This issue occurs when a PolicyMaker item is applied to a particular kind of user object or computer object. That kind of object is an organizational unit (OU) that is outside the scope of the licensed OUs. This situation typically occurs for the following reasons:  A valid license is imported but is not applied to the GPO. An X-node license is imported and is applied to the GPO. In an X-node license, the licensed container is as follows:

DC=XXXX,DC=XXX

 PolicyMaker settings are applied to an unlicensed OU.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, import a license into the GPO that is associated with the container that you want.
