Neil, You responded to the thread where Steve already corrected himself. Read the doc you cited again. Only the EDC membership changes during the process you described. EDC itself is NOT created at this point. It is merely made a member of the newly-created "Windows Authorization Access" group.

I believe SteveL may have already suggested that this group is only available post w2k, and only after the PDC in the domain has been upgraded.

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.

You will be missing some of the other Groups and Security Principals listed in that section until the PDC is upgraded.

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/795229a5-8a74-4ed b-a2f4-d5794d31c2a71033.mspx .

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/b44ba1b5-9f85-4be e-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?
