Can't access group policies

[Guest]

Hi,

I am having a problem with my 2003 server regarding group policies. Everytime I go to the group policy editor whether in domain security policy or domain controller security policy, I get an error that says access is denied (even though I am logged in as the enterprise admin.) This server is also an exchange 2003 server, dns server, and the only domain controller in the forest. We are using this server only for pulling email on our NT domain.

Here are some of the errors I get in event viewer.

Event Type: Error

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you're logged in as a Domain admin, can you browse to
\\kaiserfederal.local\sysvol\kaiserfederal.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D
2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini in explorer?
