Hi, fail to open the local policy in Win2000 Server SP3.
Returned message saying cannot open with unknown error.

Any help will be much appreciated.
 
You probable have a corrupt secedt.sdb file. The links below often can
resolve such a problem including the use of the esentutl utility. ---

The security database is corrupted.

Cause: A hardware problem if the computer is improperly shut down or a
software error.

Run esentutl /g to check the integrity of the security database at
%windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb.

If the database is corrupt:

1.
Attempt to recover it by running esentutl /r on the %windir%\Security
folder. If this fails, attempt to repair it by running with esentutl /p on
%windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb.

2.
After that, delete the log files in %windir%\Security.
