HELP! - Accidentally Applied Group Policy to Admin

[Bill]

I can't believe I did this. I created a restrictive
Group Policy at the domain level to keep my users in
check. I thought Administrators were exempt from Group
Policy and this seemed to be reinforced in various
dialogs as I was creating the policy. I now find that I
cannot access the MMC snap-ins for Active Directory Users
and Computers so that I can "unapply" this Policy to
Admin accounts. About the only tool avaialble to me is
the Registry Editor. Can someone please help me? Please
tell me this is not a complete disaster!
Thanks, Bill.

OK. Panic over. It seems I am not the only dangerous
idiot newbie to get his hands on a W2K server. I did
some further reading of posts here and found reference to
KB263166. All is well now and my blood pressure is
almost normal!
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Bill. Glad you got it working. I suggest you make a backup of at least the System
State also before you make further configuration changes in the future as described
in the KB article below. --- Steve

Thanks, Steve. Point taken. I will be more careful in
future. Thanks for not laughing at me.
Cheers,
Bill
