Hi,
Whenever I open Domain Security Policy in Administrative Tools I get a message stating that
"Failed to open the group policy object. You may not have appropriate rights."
" The system cannot find the path specified."
Even I login on the domain controler as an Administrator who is member of domain admins, enterprise admin, local administrator and group policy creater and ownner.
Can some body tell me what should I do to open the domain security policy ? Many thanks...

Had this problem before when one of our domain admins left the company. The following Q article describes how we fixed our problem, hopefully it will work for you. Basically what happened for us was that the admin that left was the only person whohad access to the GPO, all others were set to deny access. Remove any spaces in the URL.
