In SBS 2003, when looking in the server manager at the group policy
management, I go to
right click and edit the default domain policy and I get an error. The
window says:

Group Policy Error
Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate
rights.
Details:
The parameter is incorrect.

It then opens the Group Policy Object Editory, however it just has a red X
on the root of the tree on the left pane.

I get this when I also open the group policy management icon from admin
tools.

What gives?

I have 1 NIC installed and have setup 10 IPs on this NIC. I have registered
two DNS forward lookup zones, one for my domain name (tradewinds.local) and
another for some other addressing schemes I'm using. Other than that, it's
a fresh install of SBS 2003.

Thanks,
Becker
