I do see the folder: {31B2........ but the folders below (Machine and User are 
empty.

I am not concerned about loosing policies, the few I had can be recreated.

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.
