Hi there,

I finally found out where this group was...it is available from Windows
2000 AD forwards and is found at CN=Enterprise Domain
Controllers,CN=WellKnown Security
Principals,CN=Configuration,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x. Its not viewable/searchable
under ADUC even with advanced features turned on but you can use it to
apply security on an AD object.

Cheers everyone for your assistance...  ;-)

Sorry read and responded to this to fast you should have an Enterprise
Domain Controllers group however it becomes a member of "Windows
Authorization Access group" after the PDC upgrade.  You will be missing
some of the other Groups and Security Principals listed in that section
until the PDC is upgraded.

Thanks,

-Steve

You have to upgrade or install one of the servers in each domain to Windows
Server 2003 and then transfer the PDC Emulator role to the upgraded or
added Windows Server 2003 box.  When a Windows Server 2003 box takes over
the PDC Emulator FSMO role it will create these new security principals.
This is documented under the section titled "Windows Server 2003 Well Known
Security Principals" in the following link:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/795229a5-8a74-4edb-a2f4-d5794d31c2a71033.mspx
.

Thanks,

-Steve

Subject: [ActiveDir] Enterprise Domain Controllers group missing...

- We recently upgraded the schema in one forest from Windows 2000 to
Windows 2003.

- We now receive the following error when trying to access group policies,
"The Enterprise Domain Controllers group does not have read access to this
GPO. 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?

Thanks in advance,
