Re: Help with GPO problem! PLEASE!!



If I try the GPMC and create a new GPO, I get:

Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is
correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If Windows
still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator.
