I'm actually not sure about that. These are error, not warning messages 
in the windows event viewer, and the concerned GP folder is the same 
that sysvolcheck returns an error on. So, as sysvolcheck on Linux 
returns the error on another folder, so does the event viewer in Windows 
return an error on the same folder and not the other one anymore.

Something really strange is happening here.
