Or you can install SP1 for Server 2003. While it is currently in RC1 stage, I have yet to experience any major setbacks whatsoever with it. SP1 comes with WMP 10 as well as the new IE changes that came in XP SP2. Very nifty.

I have a Windows Server 2003 machine and haven't really been doing much except serving up pages. It's a fully updated machine, but for some strange reason every time I attempt to launch the "Local Security Policy" item in the Administrative tools lately, I am met with a nasty message that says: "Snap-in failed to initialize. Name:Group Policy Object Editor CLSID:{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX} " (Numbers have been changed to protect the innocent ) I've searched the net for solutions, tried a lot, including hunting for the exact CLSID in my registry and deleting it manually. Nothing seems to work. Anyone out there have any ideas? It's kind of a hassle to not be able to access the local security policy and I'd like to avoid a reinstall. Thanks in advance.
