I?m a little surprised that its actually gone! If you go into AD U&C, and open up the System\Policies container, do you see a GUID-named folder that starts with {31B2 ? Assuming the answer to the previous question is no, then I would try running dcgpofix.exe, which is available on Win2k3 server, to restore that GPO.

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. Richard Grinnell Placer Hills School District
