Richard,
I assume you have no backup available that you can use? The Default Domain
Policy have a specific GUID, that is identical in all Active Directories so it
is not possible to just create a new GPO and name it Default Domain Policy. But
MS have a tool, Dcgpofix, that recreates the Default Domain Policy and Default
Domain Controller Policy if missing or corrupted that I would guess solves your
problem here. See the following link that describes the tool
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/48872034-1907-4149-b6aa-9788d38209d21033.mspx?mfr=true
The tool will basically recreate and reset, but since the GPO is broken today I
guess that any loss of settings does not matter.

Subject: [gptalk] Default Domain Policy is missing.
Recently while trying to set password policy, I found I have no Default Domain
Policy.
When I run Group Policy Management It says: "No settings defined." for both
computer and user configuration.
When I click on "Default Domain Policy" under "Group Policy Objects", The
dialog box says: "The system cannot find the file specified."
I have a GP object created to set the proxy server for users that is working
and is configurable.
How do get the Default Domain Policy back?
I have 3 Windows Server 2003 and 1 2000 domain controllers. The 2k DC will
soon be retired.
