GPMC Filtering GPOs

[missing_link]

Hi there.

We have 3 DCs on site here all Server 2003 with all updates and on 1 of them when we go into GPMC and open any GPO under admin templates (for both user and pc config) all we see is windows components>netmeeting and windows components>windows media player. The other 2 DC's GPMC shows up all the settings fine.

I've uninstalled GPMC and reinstalled to no effect and also tried logging on as a different user which also changes nothing. I've tried to change the settings in View>filtering as well though this doesn't seem to change anything.

Any help would be marvellous.

Do the necessary .adm templates exist in %windir%\inf on the server that has the issue? It sounds like it doesn't have the right versions of those files to display the group policy settings, or the files are missing altogether.

Just checked all the .adms and there identical to the ones on the other 2 DCs. When i go into add/remove templates all the .adms are listed. Removing them and adding them does nothing either.

And I'm assuming you haven't disabled processing of objects in the GPO's, correct? Have you checked SYSVOL on this DC to make sure it's the same as the other two?

I haven't disables processing no though not too sure where to check that.

The svsvol folder matches up on all DCs and any gpo i create or file i add on \\FS1\sysvol gets replicated onto the other DCs.
