We Recently had a catastrophic server failure. Coincidentally we had a catastrophic backup failure and, sometime before the server failed something bad happened between the two DCs - so the contents of Sysvol were largely lost. I am now able to see policies in the Group Policy Editor - but when I try to edit them they are not found. The GUIDs are likewise missing from Sysvol.
My question is, without a backup, is there anyway to restore these? (for example - .pol files with the right settings still reside on some workstations - could I recreate group policies from them?)
thanks
