Re: Access is Denied to win2k3 GPO's - really stumped!!



Hi Glenn,

That article resolved the problem. It was the SMB signing. I would like to
know why Windows 2003 disabled some of the stuff that was originally enabled
under windows 2000, especially when it caused these particular problems.

Regardless, everything is running again, now I can focus on my forest
restructuring.

Thank you.
