Thanks for the info. &nbsp;It was a very necessary key in getting the final outcome I needed. &nbsp;One added thing I had to do for future reference was was open the registry.pol file with notepad and I was able to see the registry keys that needed changing. &nbsp;The group &nbsp;policy opened in the mmc did not show the enabled policies which at this time I can't explain. &nbsp;However their are alot of things in windows that I can't explain even on a good day.<br />

Thanks again

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I work for a company where they have 4 domain controllers. &nbsp;They are windows 2003 servers.At one of our sites, the local group policy got edited in the administrative templets. &nbsp;The line that got edited was it enabled no programs to run on server. &nbsp;Consequently mmc. gpedit and regedit will not run. &nbsp; I have no way that I can think of to change that setting back. &nbsp; It is kinda like locking your keys in your car. &nbsp;Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks
