Trying to Edit "Default Domain Controller Policy" on Group Policy Management
Window to change the password settings. Nothing comes up. So, I am unable to
change any settings for the domain.

Win2K3 - No Service Pack Installed yet.

Could be this GPO is corrupted. You can restore it using dcgpofix.exe, which
is found in the %windir%\repair folder, but see the warning at
http://tinyurl.com/5w4t9. See also http://tinyurl.com/62q85 for info about
the tool.

Mitch,

Thanks for your reply. I did go through the URL and found that it restores
it to default permissions after dcpromo. Which is a good thing. I have not
done any changes to the Default Domain Policy after DCPROMO and was just
wanting to disable password complexity as users were feeling really upset
with that.

I installed the new GPMC tool provided by Microsoft which ofcourse is easy
and convenient to manage the groups and policies. I will try to run the
dcgpofix tool and hopefully everything goes well and nothing breaks.

thanks again!
