Domain Controller Security Policy / Group Policy Object HELP!!!!
Posted by Adam on September 22nd, 2005


Hi all! I am racking my brain on this problem with a Windows 2003 Standard
server. Basically, it was setup fresh by another IT company and this problem
never got corrected. I cannot setup permissions and security in the Domain
Controller Security Policy or the GPO. I have done and searched every thing
on the board that I can find. I have done a lot of things. i was wondering if
anyone could HELP!! I do not want to have to redo an entire server this
weekend!!

Here is everything that I have done! Thanks for any insight to this problem!!

It sounds like a dumb question. But have you run dcpromo to install the AD
yet?
