Continued Permission error inside of GPMC
I had this question after viewing Group Policies on Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller.
I read the above question and the comments. I am generally confused as to why all of my GPO policies is saying the same error. I will click OK and leave GPMC for a few and go back in and the error returns. I have made sure that all of the GUID folders in SYSVOL have no inheritance permissions set (removed those) and the only items I have in security filtering is "Authenticated Users". Delegation shows various admin groups and the Authenticated Users group as being (read from security filtering). I can't for the life of me get why this failure keeps coming up.

Also check the NTFS permissions on the policy as well.

Sorry my fault on that McKnife. I should have put that they have "Read" (Read from Security Filtering) Inherited No. This is on all of our GPO's. I have gone also as far as pressing OK and then going to the Delegation tab selecting advanced and restore defaults. That hasn't corrected it either.
Correct it in the NTFS permissions in the file system.
Should look at least like this:
icacls "C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\

icacls "C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\

When I attempt that command I get an error that says "Invalid parameter" NT Authority\Authenticated Users:..."
You misunderstood.
icacls "C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\
would be the command.
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
would be the output one should expect to get.
Exchange somePolicyGUIDHere for the folder name of one policy in question. These names can be seen in C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\P

Ah! Yes I did misunderstand. Thank you for I do see that on all of the GUIDs in that folder. Hmm... I am thinking it is time to take a server to the roof and drop it.
Ok. For a newly created policy, (do that for a test, create a new one), it should look like this:
YourDom\Domain Admins:(OI)(CI)(F)
YourDom\Domain Admins:(OI)(CI)(F)
YourDom\Enterprise Admins:(OI)(CI)(F)
NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS:(OI)(CI)(RX)
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
YourDom\Domain Admins:(OI)(CI)(F)
YourDom\Domain Admins:(OI)(CI)(F)
YourDom\Enterprise Admins:(OI)(CI)(F)
NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS:(OI)(CI)(RX)
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)

So, I created the new Policy putting nothing in it at all. Just let it sit there and relax. When I was working on another GPO and did gpupdate /force I decided to check the permissions on it and noticed that it is adding
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(GE,G
it is also adding Server Operators twice with (I)(RX) and (I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE) same with System and added Group Policy Creator Owners as well and giving it on one line (I)(RX,W) another line (I)(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GW,GE).
This is on all the GUID folders.

This solution provided was helpful. It provided me with the tools needed to investigate and gave an overall in depth detail that assisted in this issue. My solution for correcting the problem was using DFSR to handle our DC from FRS. This has corrected a lot of issues that we have seen.
"the only items I have in security filtering is "Authenticated Users"" - this does not tell me what "authenticated users" may do. See if they have read permission on the policy and if nothing is denied.
