Krisani- If you are getting this on a workstation, this would appear to indicate that the workstation cannot read its machine account from AD. This could be because the computer's secure channel trust with the domain is broken (rejoining the domain may help). This would not be related to an inability to edit a GPO. That would be a different issue and could be caused by any number of things, including incorrect permissions on the GPO, broken SYSVOL replication or anti-virus software on your DCs mucking with the ability to write to the SYSVOL part of the GPO.

The call failed after 140 milliseconds. Error: Retrieved account information. Error code 5 Error: Failed to register for connectivity notification. Error code 1230 Computer boot policy processing failed for ..... in X seconds Where is the account information being read from? Could this be the reason for not being able to do copy or backup the GPO. But I am able to create new GPOs.

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
