#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Group Policy events 1058 and 1030 -- cannot read gpt.ini Fix : Restore the SYSVOL path and its DFS namespace Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-gpo-1058 Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 45 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX The domain-based path does not resolve or open. HOW TO UNDO IT None -- this restores expected state. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
