cannot edit group policy in windows 2003 DC

[sphilip]

Hello All,

I am having a major problem editing my group poilcy in my domain controller.
I am logging in as administrator of the domain controller but anytime i try
to edit any "Domain Controller Security Policy" & "Domain Security Policy" &
when I click "Apply" to save the changes I get this error:

Access is Denied.
Failed to Save.
\\domain name\sysvol\domain
name\policies\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04FB9-84F9}\Machine\Microsoft\Windows NT\Sec Edit\GptTmpl.inf
Make sure you have the right permissions to this object.

Please advice me on how i can correct this problem.

Thank You & Kind Regards

Sunith

You are logged in as a member of Domain Admins when
this happens, right? I mean you said you are logged in as
an administrator of the DC, but that could be merely as a
member of the domain's Administrators group.
Have you examined the NTFS permissions of the file that
is named to make sure there is a proper grant?
