I run a standalone wintel machine with Windows XP SP2. Recently when I attemted to access the Local Policy I got the following error:
“The Group Policy settings that apply to this machine could not be determined. The error occurred when trying to retreive these settings from the local security policy database (%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: The parameter is incorrect.
All local security settings will be displayed, but no indication will be given as to whether or not a given security setting is defined by Group Policy.
Any local settings defined through the user interface may subsequently overriden by domain-level policies.”
I then ran esentutl /g to check the integrity of the database without problems, but when trying to recover or repair the database (with parameters /r and /p respectively) I get “error -1003 Jet_errInvalidParameter”
Any help on a fix of the problem and what may have caused it would be appreciated. Thank you.
