Security policies are propagated with warning

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Going to http://www.Eventid.net and entering the source and Event ID number
often will be very helpful. Make sure that your dns is absolutely correct
for the domain for both domain controllers and domain computers per the
first link below. Also on domain controllers first run the netdiag and then
the dcdiag support tools. The will run a batty of tests and failed
tests/warnings/errors can help you pinpoint the problem. Gpotool and replmon
can also be very helpful. If any of your domain controllers are multihomed
or also a Remote Access server, that can often cause problems. --- Steve

Thanks, that's the most helpful information I've found to date.

I did manage to fix it... the solution: I moved all of these files to a
different folder:

%SystemRoot%\Security\Edb.*
%SystemRoot%\Security\Res*.*

Works perfect now.

Thanks again.
