<br />
When I right click on an ou in active directory users and computers, and go to properties the group policy tab is missing. I also tried gpedit.msc ang got the following error : CLSID: {8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0<wbr />000F87571-<wbr />E3}. <br />
<br />
What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it ?

Group Policy Tab missing

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
