Could someone please help me with the following?

I have two Windows 2000 Servers running Active Directory they both are
Domain Controllers in same Domain. DNS is up and running with no problem
between the two of them. My problem is up until about four days ago I was
able to go into "Domain Controller Security Policy" (in Control Panel -
Admin Tools) on one of my Servers (lets call it Server1) and add users in
the "Logon Locally" in the Users Rights Assignment under Local Polices in
Security Settings. Now whenever I go into "Domain Controller Security
Policy" the only thing I have access to in "Security Settings" is Public Key
Polices and IP Security Polices on Active Directory. It will not display
the "Local Polices" which contains User Rights Assignment nor does it shows
any longer the following:

Account Policies

Event log

Restricted Groups

System Services

Registry

File System

Whenever I go into "Domain Controller Security Policy" on both Servers
(Server1 or Server2) and click on Security Settings I receive the following
message on the right window pane; "Windows cannot open Template file".

The other puzzling thing about this problem is that if I go into the policy
editor at the command level using; DOMPOL.MSC, I get the following results:

Server2 = I see all available keys and theirs sub-keys with the "Local
Setting" and "Effective Setting"

Server1 = I see all available keys and theirs sub-keys but no "Local
 Setting" and Effective Setting", instead they are all "Not Define".

Any help you could give me on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

William
