Startup Script Does Not Run on a Domain Controller
This article was previously published under Q232300
A startup script that you created with group policy to be run on a domain controller may not be run when you restart the domain controller. When this occurs, the following message may appear in the system event log:
EventID: 1000
Type: ERROR
Source: Userenv
Description: Failed to access the registry information at
\\ domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\(Guid Number for Policy)\Machine\registry.pol with 53
However, logon and logoff scripts for users work correctly.
This behavior can occur if there is only one domain controller in the domain. Because scripts are run from the Sysvol share, the Sysvol share must be available. Startup scripts are run very early in the startup process, and if there is only one domain controller, the Sysvol share is not available until the startup process is finished.
To resolve this issue, install another domain controller in the domain so that the Sysvol share is available during domain controller startup.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
