Hi Christoffer,

DNS is fine. I can view most of the GPO's and part of
the default domain policy just fine.

I've tried the following to see if it makes a difference;

* Removed XP SP2 RC2 - Same error.
* Restored the AD on a 2003 test network and run GPMC
from XP workstation. - Same error.
* Run GPMC directly on a 2003 DC - same error.

Regards

Mark.
