When I try to open Local Security Policy the following error message appears:
The Group Policy security settings that apply to this machine could not be
determined.
The error returned when trying to retrieve these settings from the local
security policy database (%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: The
parameter is incorrect.
All local security settings will be displayed, but no indication will be
given as to whether or not a given security setting is defined by Group
Policy.
Any local security setting modified through this User Interface may
subsequently be overrriden by domain-level policies.How can I restore the local security policy settings?

Thank you
George Pan.

Hi George,

You need to repair the SECEDIT.SDB file

Open a command prompt and enter:

esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
