GPEDIT.MSC is missing several parts

[MNJoe]

I am trying to get into the GPEdit.msc and change a setting in the "User
Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Attachment
Manager" But it is missing and so are a bunch of other policy components.
These were supposed to be installed in SP2, but the computer is actually at
SP3. Can some one tell me how to get these policies to appear?
Have been searching internet for an hour and can not find anything.

Thanks

What is the "it" that is missing?

In GPEdit, right click Administrative Templates, Add/Remove Templates.

Usually, you would see:

conf
inetres
system
wmplayer
wuau

Click Add and it will open a folder where you can Add the missing
components to match the usually in there list, or to match the list on
some system that is working properly.

Reboot to make sure the changes stick.

Each component has a story you can Google of more information. Here
is a good place to start:

THANK YOU. I was able to add "system" and that made a bunch of them appear.
The user will reboot as soon as possible to make sure.
