Scott,

I am not fully understanding what solution you are pointing at, or maybe I did not fully explain myself. I have no Domain Security Policy Settings, all other servers are not having this problem, and when I go to the Local Security Policy MMC I receive the error below, then I see the folders on the left hand side, and on the right hand side I see "Windows can not read template". Thank you again.

Jeff

I recently dealt with the same problem. Take a look at your GPO Event Log

settings. The 3 that start with "Prevent local guests group from accessing"

are for pre-W2K3 only. W2K3 supports full fledged permissions on the audit

logs so you can get more granular. Take a look at

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323076

You may want to consider installing the Group Policy Management Console,

too. It really helps in identifying which setting is causing a problem.
