It could be a few things. It could be an FRS replication problem. Check for FRS errors
on your DCs. There could also be a contention issue where two people are focused on a
GPO at once, have the adm files open and are attempting to replicate changes while the
files are open. Not sure how robust FRS replication is at handling this but I have
seen these file contention issues before related to GPOs.
It shouldn't matter that you're launching the GPO editor standalone vs. from the GPMC.

Well I fixed it but I'm not sure what caused it to break. I did a search for
system.adm and 4 of them were only 750k while the rest of the system.adm's were 1.3MB.
(I was looking in c:\winnt\sysvol\domain\policies). So I copied the larger ones over
top the smaller ones, and now everything seems to be OK. I'm guessing people are
opening with GPMC and others aren't. Would something like that cause this? Do we
need to always open using the same GPO editor?

Russ-
Couple of things to check. The easy thing to check is to make sure you don't
have the view option checked in the GPO Editor that says, "Only show configured policy
settings". If that is checked, that would explain why the other stuff is gone.
If that isn't it, then it could be that the .adm template associated with that
GPO is corrupt. The file holding the policies you've referenced below is system.adm.
The .adm files for a given GPO are stored in SYSVOL in the Group Policy Template
(found in SYSVOL\<domain name>\policies\<GUID of GPO>\ADM). The easiest place to check
this would be on the PDC emulator, which is where the GPO editor defaults to when
you're editing a GPO.

I'm looking at two separate GPOs I have applied to two separate OUs.
When I
expand Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System, on one
GPO
there's a large amount of items listed under System. On the other GPO
(applied to OU #2), I'm missing:
User Profiles
Scripts
Net Logon
Remote Assistance
System Restore
And a few others. What would cause me to see more options in one GPO
versus
another GPO? I'm looking at both GPOs from the same machine.
Thanks,
Russ
