RE: Default GPO?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi Dan,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that cannot see the Domainname in GPMC and
get a red X. Now you want to run the DCGPOFIX tool. If I am off-base,
please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, DCGPOFIX.EXE will restore the Default Domain Policy
and the Default Domain Controller Policy to original default settings. It
does not affect other GPOs on SBS server.

Note: This tool can restore default domain policy and default domain
controllers policy. When you run dcgpofix, you will lose any changes made
to these Group Policy objects. So please perform a complete backup first.

To do this:
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Run " DCGPOFIX /target: domain " to restore Domain controller policy
only.

For more information, please refer to:

Restore Default Group Policy Objects
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windowsserv/2003/enterprise
/proddocs/en-us/dcgpofix.asp

If the problem perists, please help me collect the following information
for further research:

MPS Report on the SBS server

1) Download MPS report tool from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
2) Run the MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.exe on the server box.
3) Wait for 10~15 minutes.
4) Open Windows explorer, navigate to
%SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\cab\
5) Send the .cab file to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
39174547-Default GPO.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
