[Samba] Permission denied on GPT.ini (Event ID 1058)

[Ryan Ashley]

I just saw this thread while browsing my emails and I want to report
that I get this frequently but randomly on every Samba4 domain I run. It
is completely random in that it affects a PC today, but a week from now
that same PC may work just fine. It may then affect a different PC which
had no issues prior.

Also, if I click the link to "gpt.ini" in the event log the file DOES
open and I can view it all day long. It is almost as though the system
lies to me in saying it cannot access the file, but it can. I have been
dealing with this for two years now.

Finally, this seems to occur MUCH more frequently on domains which have
multiple DCs. A single DC domain may have this happen once in a year,
and only for a moment, whereas a multiple DC domain may have this happen
regularly.
