SYMPTOMS
If you configure a restricted group by using Group Policy, the membership list is incomplete when the group is processed by the client. This problem is indicated by events from the SceCle and Userenv sources in the application event log. For example:

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: SceCli

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1202

Date: 4/29/2002

Time: 12:58:58 PM

User: N/A

Computer: PTV2000S

Description:

Security policies are propagated with warning. 0x428 : An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request.

Please look for more details in TroubleShooting section in Security Help.

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Userenv

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1000

Date: 4/29/2002

Time: 12:58:58 PM

User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Computer: PTV2000S

Description:

The Group Policy client-side extension Security was passed flags (17) and returned a failure status code of (1064).

You can identify the restricted group that is causing the problem by viewing the Winlogon.log file that is created. To do this, you must turn on SceCli debugging. For additional information about how to turn on debug logging, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

In some cases, after the problem occurs, there is no additional processing of any security policy until you resolve the issue.



CAUSE
This problem is triggered when a user object that has been configured to be a member of a restricted group is deleted from Active Directory.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the orphaned security identifiers (SIDs) from the list of accounts that are to be configured by using Group Policy for the affected group.

If security policy processing stops working completely because of this problem, the workaround is not effective until you restart the computer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.
