Krisani- Typically you need read permissions on a GPO to back it up. I'm not sure GPMC logging will give you any more detail here but check out my gpolog.adm file-it contains all of the various logging options that GP provides and is available at www.gpoguy.com/gpolog.htm Darren From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of krisani p Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 1:59 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] GPMC logging Hello, When I try to copy or backup a GPO using GPMC on Vista, I am getting the error "Access is denied". How do I enable GPMC logging so that I can get more details about this. Thanks krisani
