whenever i open group policy management, it gives me the following message:

(windows cannot find the network path. verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. if windows is still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator).

network is working fine except group policy management.

i'm using windows server 2003 as adomain controller for a small network.

any idea?

thanx in advance

Is that w2k3 box the only server in that AD?

yes it is

Have you installed/uninstalled the adminpak.

I had a similar problem once because I had installed the adminpak on 2K and then upgraded to 2K3.

try installing the adminpak for 2K3 hopefully it will work

failing that try the Group policy managment console.
