johnwheatley Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Hi Following on from my last message, nI have discovered that I cannot edit any of the existing GPOs in our single domain. We recently changed our IP range and had a bit of an issue with DNS and since then if I try to edit and apply a setting to an existing GPO I get The specified server cannot perform the requested operation Interestingly, the details of a GPO are listed but when I edit one of them it says it is not configured. Can anybody help, please?
GroovyNerd Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 What machine are you trying to edit the GPO from? Does the account have policy management access?
johnwheatley Posted May 16, 2017 Author Posted May 16, 2017 Server 2008 R2. It has policy managed access
GroovyNerd Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 And your able to create new policies without issue?
johnwheatley Posted May 16, 2017 Author Posted May 16, 2017 I can create a GPO name, but cannot edit. When I apply a setting, e.g. folder redirection, I get the same error: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation
GroovyNerd Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3060682/-the-specified-server-cannot-perform-the-requested-operation-error-occurs-when-gpo-backup-is-unsuccessful-and-dynamic-updates-are-disabled-in-windows-server-2012-r2 have you tried this hotfix.
johnwheatley Posted May 16, 2017 Author Posted May 16, 2017 No, I haven't. I did see this hotfix but this applies to Server 2012 r2 and as our server is 2008 r2 so I am reluctant to do so.
GroovyNerd Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Have you tried rebooting that server since making the DNS changes ? I suspect an issue with the trust relationship
