gpedit.msc missing?

Sypher04 · 07-12-2004, 05:24 PM

I recently purchased Windows XP Professional Edition and loaded it onto my computer, but after completion of the installation i went to run the Group Policy Object Editor and the computer could not locate the file.

I ran a thorough system search and concluded that the file was in fact never installed.

What do you suggest i do?

I can email it to you if you want, just pop it in your \system32 folder

Email sent... no guarantees it will work if you just pop it in tho.

Hopefully this allows you to work around your registry problem...

Unfortunately my hotmail account, deemed the attachment unsafe and permanently blocked it.

Could you please try sending it to:

Yes, hopefully this allows me to avoid the system policy editor i am currently attempting to use.

My computer is rejecting the GPedit.msc
It keeps telling me that it has failed to initialize the snap-ins..

why might this be happening?

Goto Start --> Run --> Type mmc
Once that fires up, press CTRL+M and then click ADD
You should see an entry for "Group Policy"
