Re: Restricted Groups Not Working



Can you work with the C:\WINDOWS\security\templates\policies\gpt00000.dom
template manually via secedit /validate, /import, or /configure? If the
template is the issue, you can edit it and it will contain the GUID of the
GPO from which it came so you can fix manually in the sysvol or via gpedit.
If the template is fine, %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb might be
corrupt. You might be able to try using "esentutl /r edb" while in the
%windir%\security directory to recover it or refer to KB278316.
