are trying default domain controller , default domain policy missing?

fix same can run dcgpofix.the dcgpofix tool not restore security settings in default domain controller policy original state.this restore default group policies how after active directory installed.
reference kb article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833783/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/kb/556025

not recommend above step unless , until clear above policies missing.can post gpotool result(copy /paste) clear view.

can check policies folder below guid for confirmation.

domain default gpo guid: {31b2f340-016d-11d2-945f-00c04fb984f9}
domain controller default gpo guid :{31b2f210-016d-11d2-945f-00c04fb981f1}
