Why windows does not connect to the Group Policy client?

I am currently using a dell inspiron with windows 7 Edition 7720 Home premium and recently a message started to appear above my taskbar saying

"Unable to connect to a windows service.
Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. The problem prevents standard users to log on to the system.
As long as administrator, you can go through the system event log to see why the service failed"
Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

The resolution is quite easy. Ignore all these tech geeks here and on other sites that just want to show how they can play with the registers - a very dangerous game.  Go to search, type in cmd, open cmd as administrator.  Type exactly this (with the indicated spaces): netsh winsock repair, and then press ENTER. You need to restart (NOT close and turn on) your computer. Bingo! Unfortunately, this condition can re - occur from time to time, as if you start your computer before you turn on your internet connection and establish a good connection.  Don't worry the fix takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your speed of restart computer.

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!

    The crash of your computer during updates Windows caused which!

    I had this problem on my laptop since November, and it really annoyed me.  I sifted through the event log and found the model of events leading up to the issue and, probably, he did.

    In short, the model is as follows: Windows updates automatically run as planned, and when restarting is launched after the updates are complete, the computer crashes (probably during the reboot sequence).  When starting, it signals that the last stop was not planned, and the question starts to happen.

    I spent 2 days trying to dig a solution by Internet, without success, until I came across this page.  It says nothing about this particular problem, but it gives more information on the SVCHOST process that launches many services, including Group Policy Client.  It seems that when restarting vital registry settings have been lost during the accident and Group Policy Client 'do not know' how to start.  Let me explain:

    There are two places to look in the registry:

    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path must contain gpsvc key (a record), which is responsible for the configuration and service settings.  I found the key was intact, so you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows svchost It's the most important way you should look at in, because it should contain keys and values under the #1 key.  Here are descriptions of what must be present there.
    • There must be called GPSvcGroupmulti-string value. My laptop was missing it.  Thus, you must create the multi-string value called GPSvcGroup and assign it the value GPSvc.
    • Then, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key should normally be there, but, again, that it was missin on my laptop.
    • Open the newly created GPSvcGroup folder, then create 2 DWORD values:
    1. First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0 x 00003020 (or in decimal form 12320)
    2. Second, called CoInitializeSecurityParam , and it must have the value 1.

    When you have finished all the above steps, restart the computer, and the problem will be solved.

    I'm so relieved that I could remedy and hope this will help others with the same question.

  • Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client services

    I tried you-tube suggestions on editing the registry and change the permissions of system administrator services but nothing worked.  I have 10 users who get this message and cannot log on to their machines.  The funny this is, so try it by logging in on enough times the 7 or 8 they will get in.  I don't understand why they can't connect the fist 6 times but 7, they can.  Thank you for your help

    Original title: guest for Windows 7 Home Premium account

    Hi all

    I would like to aid which has had to face the problem below and how it was fixed.

    I have Window 7 Edition home premium and created a guest account with normal privileges that is turned on but cannot access with the error "Windows could not connect to the Group Policy client service" I think that the main problem is related to a policy because when put on the account to administer it in pop, error message says 'Cannot connect to a windows service' Please check group policy log.

    Hello

    Thank you for your time and effort to get back to us, and I apologize for the delay in responding.

    Method 1 step number d makes reference to the present Details tab on the event viewer, where you can get the details of the error. First, search for the error which will be something like Windows cannot process extension Client Strategy Group-side and click on the error and then click the Details tab and make a note of the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for the extension defective client-side. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Now come to step f number , it indicates the location of the Group Policy Extensions so that you can check if the extensions shown in the case log and the Registry Editor extension have a difference. The path of the GPExtension is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Let us know if the steps are clear to understand now. If this isn't the case, we will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

  • Unable to connect to the Group Policy Client service

    So I know there is a lot of info on how to solve this problem, but it CONTINUES to SE. As I'll fix it then after that I closed once or twice going to do EXACTLY the same thing, it gives you the screen with Windows can't connect to the Group Policy Client service. I have windows Pro 8.1 and I never had this problem before. If you guys know how permanently repair this them please say so. I don't like going back trying to set every time. And he started after only a day and then he kept doing the same screen. It would be very useful if you could respond ASAP.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update on this issue.

    From now on, I recommend you to go through the following methods:

    Method 1:

     

    I suggest you perform the SFC scan and check if that helps. The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Note: System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    After the SFC scan, run Windows Update.

    Method 2:

    Make sure that all Windows updates are installed on your computer as the issue may occur because of some missing updates for Windows components.

    Please follow the steps to install the available Windows updates.

    1. Press Windows + C, type Windows Update in the start search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
    2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
    3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
    4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

    If the problem persists, please answer us with the details of the issue and messages.

    Hope this information is useful. Please let us know the results to get help.

    Hello

    I just installed a new router and now my desktop running xp computer does not connect to the internet.

    Your messages are a bit terse, but if I understand correctly

    • You have a router connected to the Internet and multiple computers connected to the router, some Ethernet cable and others by wireless.
    • All but one of these computers can reach successfully from the Internet via the router.
    • A computer that can't browse the Internet is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable.
    • You disconnected the cable between the router and the desktop problem and connected it to a Windows 7 laptop and the laptop connected to the Internet via the router.
    • You haven't seen any error message (except, perhaps, a message on "Limited or no connectivity").
    • You have installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 (or at least Service Pack 2)

    Assuming that all the foregoing is an accurate summary of the situation, I suggest that you do the following:

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines and press ENTER after each line

    Netsh reset winsock catalog
    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

    Close the command prompt window and restart the computer.

  • Homer in Windows Server does not connect to the internet.

    I installed Windows Home Server on a self-built media server. Everything on the hardware is working properly. The server software is installed. The ethernet line is connected to my Linksys router. The power light is on decision-making on the case ethernet connection. The power led is on the router where the ethernet is connected. So, in my view, that the issue is not material.
    Problems:
    1. the server does not connect to the internet.
    2. my computer does not recognize the server when I install the Windows Home Server Connector software.
    3. the wizard of Linksys on my computer does not recognize the server as a "new device".

    I feel like I'm missing a driver, maybe a driver of ethernet controller, but do not know how to diagnose the problem.  I downloaded the Windows tool that identified the problems I listed, but solutions are not feasible.
