Re: Deleting a GPO directly from the sysvol

Hello Owen7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

Event ID 1058 can have a lot of reasons. Google for "event id 1058" and use them first. It's easier then listing all links here. Also post an ipcomnfig /all from all DC's and your DNS server, if not a DC.

Best regards

Thanks again for your help.
This answers my question and gives me something more to work with.
I am having some errors while I am migrating the domain to 2003.

Hello Owen7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

Why not using GPMC? Then can be sure that it is done correctly,
because not only SYSVOL is used also Active directory service.

Each Group Policy object (GPO) is stored partly in the Sysvol
folder on the domain controller and partly in the Active Directory
directory service. GPMC, Group Policy Object Editor, and the old
Group Policy user interface that is provided in the Active
Directory snap-ins present and manage a GPO as a single unit. For
example, when you set permissions on a GPO in GPMC, GPMC sets
permissions on objects both in Active Directory and in the Sysvol
folder. For each GPO, the permissions in Active Directory must be
consistent with the permissions in the Sysvol folder. You must not
change these separate objects outside GPMC and Group Policy Object
Editor. If you do so, this may cause Group Policy processing on the
client to fail, or certain users who generally have access may no
longer be able to edit a GPO.

Additionally, file system objects and directory service objects do
not have the same available permissions because they are different
types of objects. When permissions mismatch, it may not be easy to
make them consistent. To help you make sure that the security for
the Active Directory and for the Sysvol components of a GPO is
consistent, GPMC automatically checks the consistency of the
permissions of any GPO when you click the GPO in GPMC. If GPMC
detects a problem with a GPO, you receive one of the messages that
is described in the "Symptoms" section, depending on whether or not
you have permissions to modify security on that GPO:

I am running a mix of 2003 sp2 and 2000 sp 4 server domain.
I was wondering if I can delete GPO's directly from the Sysvol
folder?
Is there anything that I need to worry about?
for ex: never delete the domain GPO.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
