please me rid of issue.

hey huge sucess me. have found solution.

after refering lots of articles , lots of research, small problem.

i have opened adsiedit.msc , done below.

1- expand first folder (domain)
2- , next 1 go cn=system expand it
3- go cn=policies expand it
4- right click each folder of policies click properties , search gpcfilesyspath press edit , add server name before domain name done remaining policies folders.

for example \\dcname.domainname.local\sysvol\domainname.local\policies\{31b2f340-016d-11d2-945f-00c04fb984f9}

and logged off , logged in on 1 of member server , found issue has been resolved without rebooting of server.
