"Initialization failed" error when running gpresult or rsop.msc on client machine

I get that error (wmi related i think), when i try to check the
policies on this client.. its an XP sp2 machine, a member of a 2003
domain..

I've tried removing the workstation from the domain, then deleting its
account.. then renaming the machine and rejoining, but nothing has
gotten me around this error..

Does anyone know what else to look for..

EIther way, i'm pretty sure GPO's arent being applied properly on this
machine (actually there is another machine having a similar error as
well).. I think on that machine.. the window that pops up after
hitting rsop.msc, was something like "not found".

Thanks
