Can't view all Security Settings in any GPO's when the PDC Emulator is down

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



In one of our Domains we were doing a System State backup on the PDC
Emulator. When this machine went down to go into AD Restore Mode I
could not look at some of the security settings on any Group Policy I
had created. Mainly I could not view Local Policies, Account Policies,
and Event Log. I tried from multiple other Domain Controllers in the
domain, but none of them would display those settings listed above.
Once the PDC came back up we were able to view all of those Security
Settings again.

Does anyone know why when the PDC Emulator goes down all of those
settings are not shown anymore and can't be accessed?
