Group Policy Access

Hi,

This is a question regarding Group Policy and an error i am getting.

I am attempting to get into the settings of the Domain Controller Security Policy and Domain Security Policy to create a new Group Policy and change a few things.

However, when i attempt to do this i get the following error:

Quote:

Group Policy Error

Failed to open the group policy object. You may not have appropriate rights.
Details: The network path was not found.

Here's the answer to some of the common questions that may come out of this:

I am doing this on the Domain Controller.
I am using an administrator account with full access to the domain.
I have checked the File and Printer Sharing option and it is enabled (which seems to cause this problem for some people)
I've downloaded the Domain Policy Management tool, and it won't let me access the group policy settings through in there either.

The OS on the domain controller is XP SP2 and we are using Microsoft Server 2003.

Any thoughts?

The Domain controller is XP SP2??? Do you mean it is Server 2003? Which version of Server 2003 are you using?
