Re: Advanced Server 2000

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

You can try the following tool from the MS website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b5b685ae-b7dd-4bb5-ab2a-976d6873129d&DisplayLang=en

It's a bit of a sledgehammer though, as tools go, so you should try to
resolve the problem settings in the GPO manually before resorting to this:

"
RecreateDefPol.exe is a tool developed for the restoration of the Default
Domain and Default Domain Controllers policy files, in case of accidental
deletion. This tool is for use exclusively on Windows 2000 Server, Advanced
Server, and DataCenter Server. Do not use this tool on Windows Server 2003;
use Dcgpofix.exe instead (included in Windows Server 2003).

This tool is intended for use only in disaster recovery situations, where
either the Default Domain Policy, the Default Domain Controllers Policy, or
both have been damaged or deleted, and no other backup is available. This
should be considered a tool of last resort."
