Bill,

There is no option for GPMS under the administrative tool menu.

I went to control panel, add remove programs and there is no option there
either.

I downloaded the software as indicated and when I tried to install it, it
asked me to agree to license, which I did, and clicked next.

I then got a screen saying ' Due to an error, the wizard is unable to
install Group Policy Management SP 1 '

The only place I see the GPMS listed is in the Start - Server Manager menu
( Under advanced )

When I click on the plus sign in front of the Group Policy Manager, a pop up
says

Snap In Failed to Initialize
Name Unknown
CLSID { 131321321321321 ..........}
