Hi Folks:
After installing the following hotfix:
Update for Windows Small Business Server 2003: KB 872769
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d70097c2-4317-40e0-b7da-feb52c6b6386&displaylang=en
Every time I try to launch the Edit user interface of the Group Policy
Management msc it throws about 8 or 9 incidences
of the this error dialog popup:  (OK dismisses box but others reappear)
TO REPRODUCE:
1) Launch Group Policy Management console
2) Drill down to "Default Domain Policy" within the Group Policy Objects
container
3) Right click on the object and select "Edit"
4) Error appears.
Any ideas on how to correct this?  Thank you in advance
Darren
