The DC gives me a permissions error when opening Domain Controller Security
Policy.  I log onto the DC as the admin of root.com or plant.root.com and
get the same error: Failed to open Group Policy Object, you may not have
appropriate rights. Details: the specified domain does not exist or cannot
be contacted.

What did I not do?

Resend - last was bounced.  No idea why....

================================================

Joe,
 
Check Local Policy on each of the DCs.  If any of these was an upgrade
(and sometimes, not) of a member that was in a service position before
becoming a DC, there are times when a program or application will get
installed by a SID that doesn't exist after the machine becomes a DC.
This user account had rights (logon locally, etc.) that no longer exist.
 
Typically, you'll want to look for, oh, say.... Power User.  This user
has a tendency to get stuck in the Local Policy of a DC, and given that
the Power User cannot exist on a DC, this is the message that you're
going to see (and I've seen it alot.....).
 
Look her for more info:
