Info The User Domain User Does Not Have Rsop Data

Created Date: October 24 th, 2012. CtxCseUtil is a tool that can generate resultant set of policy (RSOP) report (per computer, per user or both) for Citrix policies on a device that has the Group Policy Management Console installed. Select Resultant Set of Policy from the available snap ins. Step 2: Run the RsoP wizard. Right click Resultant Set of Policy and select Generate Rsop Data. Click Next at the welcome screen. Select Planning mode. Select the User, Computer or OU that you want to simulate policy settings for.

I was trying to figure out why my group policies were not being applied to a Windows 7 pc from Windows Server 2003.
Running gpresult /r gave me:
INFO: The user does not have RSOP data. Rsop

Ran gpupdate /force gave me a less cryptic message:

Unable To Generate Rsop Data

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file domain.localSysVoldomain.localPolicies{4A4EF664-.......}gpt.ini from a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFC) client has been disabled.
I browsed to the location and the request file and sure enough it was not there. I searched other folders and located the file and folder in Policies_NTFRS_00c51f61.

Rsop Data Missing

I copied the enter {4A4EF664-.......} folder to the path Group Policy was searching for, which is in 'Policy'.

Since the gpt.ini file was empty, I didn't see any consequences of copying the entire folder to the path gp was searching for. I'm assuming group policy just needed to read the gpt.ini file whether it is empty or not.
Ran gpupdate /force, didn't receive any error messages, and gpupdate was successful. Rsop

Explains possible causes why the folder path changed.
