You will get the same error message in case when you open a Group Policy
object which has been recently created on another domain controller (most
likely, in the other site). Then, the corresponding files in SYSVOL might
have not replicated yet to the DC you are using, and therefore you get "path
not found" error message.

You can use replmon utility from Support Tools to verify replication of
group policy objects.

  When I'm trying to open the Group Policy object in Group Policy Editor, I 
receive the following error message:
  Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate 
rights.
  Details:
  The system cannot find the path specified.
  I've already read the information on
  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;253268
  but I have no backup.
  My question is how can I re-create the folder structures within the Sysvol 
container?
  Thank you.
