Group Policy Access

[tsiqueira]

Hi,

This is a question regarding Group Policy and an error i am getting.

I am attempting to get into the settings of the Domain Controller Security Policy and Domain Security Policy to create a new Group Policy and change a few things.

However, when i attempt to do this i get the following error:

Group Policy Error

Failed to open the group policy object. You may not have appropriate rights.

Details: The network path was not found.

Here's the answer to some of the common questions that may come out of this:

I am doing this on the Domain Controller.

I am using an administrator account with full access to the domain.

I have checked the File and Printer Sharing option and it is enabled (which seems to cause this problem for some people)

I've downloaded the Domain Policy Management tool, and it won't let me access the group policy settings through in there either.

The OS on the domain controller is Microsoft Server 2003, Service Pack 2.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

*ehh, im not a strong reader; 'network path not found' is not the exact result of the scenarios in the article.

The DC is running XP SP2?
