Userenv 1104

Situation :You get a Userenv error in the event viewer with the Event ID of 1104 and the whingy description of "Windows cannot perform filter check for Group Policy object cn={GUID},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=single. The associated filter cannot be found. This Group Policy Object will be skipped"

What Happened :There are probably a million and one reasons for this to occur, but in my case it's because the domain was a single label domain and because WMI was configured in the group policy, this junk was showing up. Now there is a Microsoft hotfix for this, as explained here, but the error seems somewhat benign so I never bothered with it.

Lesson Learned :Never use a single label domain, this is what I used to use back in 99 but its still causing issues today... Booooo!
