Title
Error 1050 encountered. The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted. -
Description
"Error 1050 encountered. Description: The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted. -
Cause
There may be GPOs listed in Deleted Objects container within GPOAdmin that are still registered with the product but have been deleted natively, the GPO itself no longer exists. -
Resolution
The GPOs exist as storage objects within the VCRoot container and are named with the GPOADmin ID. It is possible to delete them from the VCRoot container but the safer and preferred method is to Unregister the GPO from the Deleted Objects (right click on the GPO). You can sort the GPO's by domain and then unregister them. If you cannot unregister the GPOs, please try the following:
- In ADSI Edit, connect to the storage location (such as AD or AD/LDS instance). Select Configuration
- Navigate to Services | Quest | QGPM | Wentworth | Version Control
- Delete the domains that no longer exit
If you cannot deleted the domain or the GPOs that no longer exist, you may need to delete the objects from VCRoot by searching for the GPOADmin GUID with a recursive query.
