Event ID 1030 and Event ID 1058

I had a Windows 2003 Small Business Server report the following in the Event Log.

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    Userenv
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    1030
Date:        1/22/2009
Time:        1:07:13 PM
User:        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:    SBS200
Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    Userenv
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    1058
Date:        1/22/2009
Time:        1:12:13 PM
User:        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:    SBS200
Description:
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={8E967417-276A-4972-AE41-10ED4DF53628},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=PR,DC=LOCAL. The file must be present at the location <\\DOMAIN.LOCAL\SysVol\DOMAIN.LOCAL\Policies\{8E967417-276A-4972-AE41-10ED4DF53628}\gpt.ini>. (The system cannot find the path specified. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

When I ran Group Policy Management, I received the following error when click on Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controller Policy:

The system cannot find the file specified

This is an indication that the Default Domain Policy and the Default Domain Controller Policy are corrupt or missing.  I dropped to the command prompt and issued the following command to fix the problem:

dcgpofix /ignorescheme
