Hi all,
I'm logged on as the administrator on a windows 2000 DC.
When I try to access the group policy by right clicking on the domain in AD
then hitting properties then hit the Group Policy tab. it freezes for a few
minutes then comes up the a message: "Group Policy Error- Failed to query the
Group Policy link information with 0x800705b4. You may not have appropriate
rights or no domain controller is available. Details: This operation returned
because the timeout period expired."

Any suggestions please?
Thanks guys.

Howdy!

This looks like a dns issue. Is dns working well?

cheers,
