Encountered an error while updating group policy object

Asked By Philb 10 points N/A Posted on - 04/04/2012

Hi Gurus,

I was updating a group policy object (GPO) on an old Win Server 2003 and got this error message (see below).  I wasn’t sure why this happened since I was able to update a GPO two days ago.

I need 2 things to ask from the gurus of this forum since I am fairly new as a sys ad: 1) What triggered this so that I can prevent it from happening again and 2) How to resolve the issue.  Appreciate very much the help.

Error:.

Administrative Templates

The following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has been truncated.

This policy setting allows you to manage a list of sites that you want to associate with a particular security zone. These zone numbers have associated security settings that apply to all of the sites in the zone.nnInternet Explorer has 4 security zone

Encountered an error while updating group policy object

Hi Mr. Philb

With regards to your problem this is my answer in question #2

How to resolve the issue

First thing you must do is to update your Windows Server 2003. And I'm sure that it will help you a lot this is my source of information.

Or if the problem is still exist try to rollback your updates by using system restore.

Then about the next question

What triggered this so that I can prevent it from happening again 

If you will be going to update your Server make sure all of your user whoever is log-in they must shut it off to prevent some error issues during the update distribution to the server.
