Cannot Open GPO - inetres.adm line 158 Error

[Bob H.]

We're getting an error when opening the All Users and
Default Domain GPOs:

inetres.adm line 158
Error 62 Corresponding strings not found

Thanks very much for any insights you may have!

If you look over these notes from a previous case carefully perhaps these
will help:

Customer had an XP client on which he had installed RC1 version of SP2. He
then
used the admintools from the XP client to view/edit various group policies.
Whenever a group policy is edited from an XP client, it updates the
inetres.adm of
that group policy. RC1 is known to cause problems with how it updates the
inetres.adm file that is asssociated with each group policy.

Resolution:

1. Customer can either upgrade to an RC2 or later version of SP2 for XP.
Once the
newer version is used to open/edit a group policy, the inetres.adm file is
updated
again to resolve those known issues.

2. The other option is to copy over the updated inetres.adm (632 KB) file
with the
original version (243 KB). The inetres.adm files are located in the
Windows\sysvol\domain\Policies\{GP Guid}\ADM folder.
