"* Reboot my laptop"

Isn't that usually the first thing we tell our users to do.  :)

Subject: [NTSysADM] OK here's a weird one (GPO access denied)

A few days ago I created a GPO, applied some security filtering and rolled it 
out and it worked. FYI I open an MMC on my desktop and run it as my elevated 
user/domain admin account, not my standard acct.

Today I try to change the security filtering and I get "access denied" (I can 
open the GPO but not save changes).

Troubleshooting:
* I RDP to a domain controller with the DA acct, open GPO editor and try to 
edit the GPO and get the same error
* Try creating new GPO via RDP to DC - access denied
* Create *fresh* DA acct (different name), add to domain admins, RDP to DC. 
Same result!
* Fellow DA can edit this same GPO
....then for fun....
* Reboot my laptop, launch MMC from my laptop with DA credentials, it all 
works. From my machine, my initial DA account, RDP to the DC, everything that 
had failed before now works!

Somehow my laptop had my DA credentials locked up for just GPO's? I was able to 
RDP to the DC, so the only thing that makes sense here was my laptop hosing 
edits to Group Policy, even from other machines. Huh?
