Cause

This issue may happen due to corrupt group policy. It’s really difficult to say why this happens. In my environment , the Group policy update was failing on all these machines. These computers have been migrated from different domain and inherited many issues.

Solution

The solution is to delete the Registry.pol file and force Group policy update. This will also fix any other issue caused by Group policy update issue. A new Registry.pol file will automatically created after Group Policy Update. However, we still recommend to rename the file rather than deleting it.

You can follow the below steps to perform the actions on a remote machine through PowerShell remote session.

Step 1: Launch PowerShell on your computer and connect with PowerShell Remote Session

Enter-PsSession -ComputerName ComputerName

Step 2: Rename C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol file to Registry.pol.old

cd C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine

REN Registry.pol registry.pol.old

Step 3: Run GPUpdate

GPUPDATE /FORCE

Step 4: Restart SMS Agent Host Service

Restart-Service ccmexec -verbose

Step 5: Force Software Update Scan Cycle

Force Software update scan cycle on client. You can find the details of all client actions and respective command line here.

Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm -Class sms_client -Name TriggerSchedule “{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}”
