scwcmd tranform error in on w2k3 sp1 dc

Dear All,

I have a test w2k3 sp1 dc running on virtual pc 2007 on which I am
practicing using SCW. I have created a SCW Security Policy, named
'dc-pol.xml' and I'm trying to use scwcmd transform command to convert it
into a GPO named SCW-GPO.

Please see below for a copy of commands used and error message received:

Command completed with error.
Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller,
either b
ecause the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied.

Thanks for any help.

A restart of the DC fixed the problem
