Win 2K8 R2 - Group Policy Management - Failed to Open Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. The network path was not found.

New to Windows Server 2008 R2 Administration.

I setup this Windows 2008 R2 Server on a Dell 2950 Poweredge server and have been migrating users off of an old NT style domain running on Samba 3.6 on CentOS.

I have the domain setup (nicholas.sacredheartsaratoga.org), added users, and have moved users / computers over to the new domain and working.

When attempting to setup Group Policy Objects, I continually get the "Failed to Open Group Policy Object" Error.  This is driving me nuts and seems to be a 49 error.. which I have done a ton of research on but none of the suggested fixes seem to be working.

I've been working at this for a couple of weeks and really need this fixed to be able to set GPO's correctly.

Here is my IPCONFIG /ALL

C:\Users\Administrator.NICHOLAS.000>ipconfig /all
