"The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied." error on windows 7 Linked Clone desktops with Persona Management

Hi All,

Here is our setup

- Windows 7 pool of Linked Clone floating desktops (62 desktops in the pool)

- View 5.2

- Esxi 5 hosts

- Using Persona Management for user profiles and also redirecting desktop and my documents folders into profile folder (lives on a NetApp CIFs share)

- Using ThinPrint GPO's to assign a default printer

- Using several other GPO settings that are consolidated into just a handful of objects for performance reasons

We received notice that 2 end users (out of 1,263) received the following warning when trying to log into the pool

"The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied."

We ended up making sure they were not logged in and we just renamed their profile folder on the NetApp CIFs share so their next login would re-create it... but something like this throws up the red flag for me. Any ideas as to why this may have happened?
