SYMPTOMS
The following event may be recorded in the application event log on one or more Microsoft Windows 2000 Server domain controllers:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Userenv

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1000

Description:

The Group Policy client-side extension EFS recovery was passed flags (17) and returned a failure status code of (1804).



CAUSE
This issue may occur when the default domain policy object or the default domain controllers policy object is corrupted.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, restore the default domain policy and the default domain controllers policy from a backup. If you cannot restore the default domain policies from a backup, you can reset the default domain policy and the default domain controllers policy by using the Recreatedefpol tool.

Method 1: Restore the default domain policies from a backup
 From a backup, restore the default domain policy object and the default domain controllers policy object to an alternative location. The default domain policy object folder locations are described in step 2. Copy the default domain policy folders and all the contents that you restored in step 1 to the following locations:   \Sysvol\ \policies\31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9  \Sysvol\ \policies\6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9

Note The default Sysvol path is :\ \Sysvol.

Note 6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9 is the GUID folder name for the default domain controllers policy object. 31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9 is the GUID folder name for the default domain policy object.

After you copy the default domain policy folders, the default domain policies are replicated by the File Replication service (FRS).

Method 2: Reset the default domain policies with the Recreatedefpol tool
The Recreatedefpol tool resets the default domain policy and the default domain controllers policy.

Warning By default, the Recreatedefpol tool resets the default domain policy and the default domain controllers policy back to the original Windows 2000 settings. If you reset the default domain policies, any policy settings that you or another program have configured are lost.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

Download the Recreatedefpol.exe package now.

Important After you run the Recreatedefpol tool, you must log off and log on with administrator permissions. After you log on, you can make changes to the default domain policy and the default domain controllers policy settings.
