Hello,

I run into this problem when my primary ad server is turned off, i
can't no longer access domain security policy on my second domain
controller(same domain), i kept getting "Failed to open the Group
Policy Object. You may not have the appropriate rights and The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." Once
i turned on my first domain controller, it worked. I am going to fdisk
my first domain controller, but like to figure out why I can't open
security policy on my second controller first. Both server are global
category servers.

Please help, thank you very much.
