Group Policy Security setting could not be determined

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Upon investigation of the Local Security Policies I receive this nasty
little massage, "The Group Policy security settings that apply to this
machine could not be determined. The error returned when trying to receive
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 give security setting is defined by Group
Policy. Any local security settings modified through this user Interface may
subsequently be overwritten by domain -level policies."

Could this be the cause of my local workgroup issues? I am not able to
access recources between my desktop and laptop an ACER Travelmate 4000
1.4Gz 512RAM both XPPro on NTFS. I can see the computers in the workgroup
but due to
some unknown permission issue "[network name] is not accessible. you might
not have permission to use this network resource. "Contact admin ...
to find out if you have access permission. The list server for this work
group is not currently available".of some importance but I am obviously
concerned about my Local Security Policies.

Any insight will be most appreciated.

Thank you for your time, Da Gator.

Doug, thank you for your help. Unfortunately I was not able to apply this to
my problem as I am not receiving these error messages. Upon searching for
articles based on the information you supplied, I found
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313222. I applied
this repair but again I still receive the same DB error. On the plus side MY
network places actually shows me my local shared resources on my laptop but
I am still unable to view other workgroup computers. I have also turned off
ICF as I am using am SMC Barracade SMC7004ABR Router. The other two desktops
comp are all good.

Any other ideas? Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Ok, it figures. Now, I can find the command I was looking for.

esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb

I have had the same error, quite a while back, and this is what fixed it for me.
