I have two domains that were migrated from NT4 PDC,s and one of them
has this same issue.
It seems to run fine and testparm reports no errors. Yet sysvolreset
reports those warnings whether or not sysvolcheck shows any issues.
Any edits to a GPO via RSAT will make sysvolcheck fail and sysvolreset
needs to be run.
I suspect it displays a warning for each user if not more, as those
messages print for quite a while.
