Re: Failed to open group policy object

Hello Dermot,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from your servers and one problem client. Sounds like DNS problem when network path is not found.

Best regards

Hello Meniolf

The error when I attempt to open Default Domain Controller Security
Policy in Administrative Tools is

"Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have the
apporpriate rights".

Details
"The format of the specified network name is invalid"
The error when I attempt to open Default Domain Security Policy in
Administrative Tools is

"Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have the
apporpriate rights".

Details

"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"

I am logged on as the Domain Admin on the DC that holds the PDC
Emulator Role

I installed GPMC and when I look at the Settings tab it tells me that
for both Computer configuration and User configuration for that policy
there are "No settings defined".

From the other 2 DC's in the domain I have no problem accessing either
of the default policies in Admin Tools or the policies in GPMC

Many Thanks

Dermot

3 Domain controllers in 1 domain. On dc holding all 5 roles cannot
edit the settings of any policy in GPMC. Get error opening Default
Domain Security Policy and Default Domain Controllers Security
Policy. No problem with security. Any issues with running MSSql 7.0
cient tools?

Any other thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks
