Try applying the default security template (for more info, open Help and
Support, search for security templates):
1. start, run, key mmc /a
2. press Enter
3. click File, Add/Remove Snap-in
4. click Add
5. from the snap-in list, select Security Configuration and Analysis; click
Add; click Close
6. click OK
7. right click on Security and Configuration Analysis in the left pane;
select Open database
8. navigate to any folder (the "database" may not be any use later, so any
"temporary" folder will do)
9. key any name you want for the "database"; click Open
10. on the Import Template panel, select the item called "setup
security.inf"; click Open
11. right click Security Configuration and Analysis in the left pane, select
Configure Computer Now
12. either accept the default log file path, or key the path and file name
of the log file you want the results to be logged in; click OK
