Help

I am having a great number of issues with my SBS 2003 R2 server.. I am
getting

Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
cn={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=NMNA,DC=local.
The file must be present at the location
<\\NMNA.local\sysvol\NMNA.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller,
either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied. ).
Group Policy processing aborted.

When / how did this problem start ?
Did you install something on the server ?
What does DCDIAG tell you ?

Just mu 2 cents. Could be related to a firewall on the DC or client.
