I'm using windows 2000 server. When I access the "Domain Security Policy" under Adminstrative Tools, an error appear says:

Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights.
Details:
The system cannot find the path specified

I've tried different solutions from microsoft but it's not working. What could be my problem?

Experienced this problem on a test lab and found that the problem was DNS related. It was resolved after running DCPROMO, demoting then promoting to Domain Controller and choosing the option to allow the promotion installation to install DNS aswell.
