Hello,
I used a WinXP machine to edit our Default Domain Policy
Group Policy, and now I can no longer access the Group
Policy. When I try to open AD Users & Computers, Right
click on the Domain name, go to Properties, select the
Group Policy tab, and hit Edit I get the following error
message:
"Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have
appropriate rights. Details: Unspecified error."
I double checked the security settings, all are good. I
cannot access even while logged in to the Domain
Controller as Administrator (member of the Enterprise
Admins group). I was told this is a result of editing
with my XP machine, but don't necessarily believe that.
I've already used KB Article 294257, but that didn't
fix the error.
I can edit the GPO's on all child containers and OU's
under this domain.
I downloaded and installed the Group Policy Management
Console snapin and when I view the GPO I get this message
under the Administrative Templates section:
The following errors were encountered:
The
file "\\CELESTA.frameless.pcd\sysvol\frameless.pcd\Policie
s\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}
\Machine\registry.pol" is not in a valid format. The file
might be corrupt. Use Group Policy Object Editor to
reconfigure the settings in this extension.
I was told by a consultant that I have to perform an
Authoritative Restore of the System State Data on the
Domain Controller, but would rather avoid that if
possible. Does anybody have any other ideas or
suggestions?
Thanks!
