Group Policy Infrastructure failed error in Resultant Set of Policy

I have got this Group Policy Infrastructure failed error in Windows 7 machine while working with GPO to configure Audit Policy settings. I was in need of configure Audit logon events policy as Success,Failure to audit logon,logoff and logon failure of every users with their workstation by the Event IDs 4624,4634. So that I have decided to apply Audit logon events policy to workstations through Default Domain Policy.

After edit the Audit logon events policy in Default Domain Policy as Success,Failure, I run the command GPUpdate /force in domain controller. then I moved to one of the workstation Windows 7 computer which is in the Domain Network, to check whether the Audit logon events policy is applied or not through Default Domain Policy. To check final result I run the command rsop.msc to view Resultant Set of Policy. I see the following output with Group Policy Infrastructure failed error.

The error detail is

Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Note:  Due to the GP Core failure, none of the other Group Policy components processed their policy.  Consequently, status information for the other components is not available.
