Solution

To resolve this issue, correct the domain name entry by using the ADSI Edit snap-in.

Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, or both Windows and Exchange. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes at your own risk. Follow these steps to correct the domain name entry:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Windows Support Tools, and then click Command Prompt.

Note Install the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Support Tools from Windows Small Business Server 2003 installation CD number 2 if these tools are not installed on your Small Business Server 2003 computer.

2. To start the ADSI Edit snap-in, type adsiedit.msc at the command prompt.

3. Expand the path that is indicated in the event 1058 message.

For example, expand the following containers:

o Domain [Random_Domain_Name]

o DC=Random_Domain_Name, DC=local

o CN=System

o CN=Policies

4. Right-click CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}, and then click Properties.

5. Click the Attribute Editor tab. In the Attributes box, locate and then double-click gPCFileSysPath.

6. In the String Attribute Editor dialog box, change the incorrect domain name to the correct domain name.

7. Click OK two times, and then quit the ADSI Edit snap-in.
