Really? How did you confirm that? In ADUC (with "Advanced Features" enabled in View) and doing a custom search for "enterprise", simply looking in the "Foreign Security Principals" containers?

The Enterprise Domain Controllers group must have read access on all GPO's in the domain in order for Group Policy Modelling to function properly. To learn more about this issue and how you can correct it, click Help.". - I can confirm we do not have an "Enterprise Domain Controllers" group in any of the domains. - I have found the following article " http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/b44ba1b5-9f85-4bee-84c9-1994921658cd1033.mspx?mfr=true " which shows how to fix the GPO issue using "GrantPermissionOnAllGPOs.wsf"...but this assumes we actually have the group "Enterprise Domain Controllers" available. From further reading I see this group has a specific SID of S-1-5-9 so I can not simply create a new group. - Does anyone have any idea how the group "Enterprise Domain Controllers" can be recreated with the correct SID of S-1-5-9 so that we can run the script "GrantPermissionOnAllGPOs.wsf" to fix the group policy problem?
