Security audit & Domain Controller security

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am running SBS 2003 premium. I recently noticed 174,359 entries in my
security folder, in the event viewer. When logged in as the administrator and
trying to open Domain Controller Security I get the following message: Failed
to Open Group Policy Object you may not have appropriate rights.... specified
domain either does not exist or could not be found. I checked my DNS event
log a found some 4015 & 4004 errors. I am not certain if they coincided with
system start up / shutdown. What is best practice for security log? How do I
resolve my GPO editor problem? I see 2 lines under DNS forward lookup zones,
both reference the domain name, one has a prefix of _msdcs. Should I have
both?

Thanks

Dan
