| Hello,
I was just referred to this site and hope that you guys can help out.
We recently upgraded our DC's to new 64-bit Windows 2008 hardware from
32-bit Windows 2003 hardware. The transition of Active Directory to
those new machines appeared to be a success. But after looking at
the event logs, there are constant events numbered 108 & 1085, every
couple minutes. It pertains to software installation not running
correctly.
I run Group Policy Results on the new DC's to figure out what is
happening. On the Summary screen for Computer Configuration Summary
\Component Status, it was listing Software Installation as Failed. I
then viewed the Applied GPOs. Three GPOs were applied, Default
Domain, Default Domain Controller, and a custom policy. I suspected
that the custom was the culprit, and found out that it was in fact no
longer needed, so I deleted it. But Group Policy Results still
reports Software Installation as Failed.
Searching for solutions on the internet, all I could find was a post
stating to remove the GPO causing the problem and recreate. But the
only two GPOs being applied are the Default Domain and Default Domain
Controller policies. As far I remember, those cannot be deleted.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

| Paul-
This is a bug (or perhaps an oversight would be a better way to put it) in
the way RSOP reports CSE failures. Namely, it doesn't clean up the correct
areas in the registry when both a GPO and a CSE are no longer running. I
actually found this while developing our troubleshooting solution,
ironically. In any case, if this really bothers you, you can try cleaning up
the registry metadata related to GP. Go into the registry under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GroupPolicy\History\{c6dc5466
-785a-11d2-84d0-00c04fb169f7} and delete the key under it that should say
'0' and should reference your defunct GPO. Next, go into
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GroupPolicy\State\Machine\Ext
ensionList and, assuming there are no other GPOs that are doing software
installation, remove the key called {c6dc5466-785a-11d2-84d0-00c04fb169f7}.
Finally, under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GroupPolicy\State\Machine\GPL
ink-List and GPO-List, look for any numbered keys that reference the defunct
GPO and remove them.
Hope that helps. Let me know if that doesn't get you where you need to be.
Note that these instructions are specific to per-computer software
installation only--its slightly different for per-user stuff.
