Group Policies Not Applied At Startup with SSD PC

group-policynetworkingssdwindows-server-2008-r2

I have a problem with some new computers containing solid state drives which will not apply group policies at startup. All other PC's apply the GPO's no problem.

Manually running gpupdate /force successfully applies the GPO's.

I have set the following policies:
Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon: Enabled
Startup policy processing wait time: 60 seconds.

The event viewer has the following error:

The system calls to access specified file completed. 
...Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini 
The call failed after 1141 milliseconds.

I can access the gpt.ini file and policies folder just fine from the client.
