What I would do is compare the size, and date/timestamp of the contents of
that ADM folder on your PDC emulator DC with the same files found in
c:\windows\inf on the SP2 client where you're editing the GPO. It sounds
like the copy of the ADM stored in SYSVOL with the GPO is corrupted. If just
system.adm is different, then copy that system.adm file from c:\windows\adm
to the sysvol folder shown below on your PDC emulator DC.
