Thanks for the info Christoffer.

Just in case the NT4 domain I was in was affecting the
display of the security settings I left it and move the
workstation into an AD domain. I still get the same
error.

It's not such a great problem in itself but makes me
wonder if there is something wrong with my AD. If it's a
fault of GPMC then I'll live with that. If it's my AD I
have to sort it out.

Cheers
