RE: Can't set Local Security policies. They fail to save



Hi Jenny Hope you had a nice weekend.
I imported the default Group Policies from a fresh SBS Installation as per
your instructions.
Afterwards I was able to set the Local Security Policies for the Domain and
Domain controller which it finally allowed me to do. All the problems I was
having were resolved until I rebooted the server box and we went back to how
its was before. The settings were saved but I can't re-define them. It gives
me the error
" An extended error has occurred. Failed to save
\\AIPDC.local\sysvol\AIPDC.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Machine\Microsoft\WindowsNT\SecEdit\GptTmpl.inf"

I thought that maybe it didn't save properly so i did the import of default
policies again. Just for the same thing to happen after re-booting.

Also whenever I reboot the server i find this error in the application log
Source Userenv
Category None
Event ID 1030
User Admin
Computer Server
"Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event
log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that
describes the reason for this."

Do you think this has anything to do with the problem.
Thanks for everything and waiting for your reply. At least I'm half way to
breathing a sigh of relief
