Event Type: Warning Event Source: SceCli Event Category: None Event ID: 1202 Date: 03/06/2009 Time: 11:51:40 User: N/A Computer: <Server> Description: Security policies were propagated with warning. 0x4b8 : An extended error has occurred. Advanced help for this problem is available on http://support.microsoft.com. Query for "troubleshooting 1202 events". I did try following steps as suggested in your reply but when going in GROUP POLICY tab it says "You have installed the group Policy Management snap-in, so this tab is no longer used" To open Group Policy Management, Click Here By Checking further we have two Domain controller Policies in Group Policy Management 1. Default Domain Controller Policy 2. Small Business Server Auditing Policy I personally feel the easiest solution for this is to delete secedit.sdb and all templates in "c:\windows\security\templates\policies" and run a gpupdate /force command" but I haven't tried this and not sure if its causes any other issues. I don't have test server otherwise i will like to replicate this error and try rebuilding these error. And I am not sure about what services I need to closes before doing this delete . waiting for some further comments Regards Ayaz Hodaayaz

Hi ayaz,i see that issue is more likely with the SBS server , and i would recommend you to post your query under appropriate sbs group . If SBS group feels the issue is not with them , we are more happy to assist you further.Regarding the Windows Small Business Server issue, please post to the Windows Small Business Server discussion group.

"I personally feel the easiest solution for this is to delete secedit.sdb ...and run a gpupdate /force command" but I haven't tried this and not sure if its causes any other issues." Just delete secedit.edb and reboot. That will not cause you any problems. That is precisely what I would do. If it recurs - run an rsop.msc and see what's up - if you edited the default GPOs, note that is not a good idea and you should create your own and link them to the appropriate OUs. The SBSBPA and the MSBPA should also be run. To the other responder - this is not an SBS issue; it's a Windows / GP issue. You often find it on workstations as well.Lanwench [MVP - Exchange] ** Do not fold, spindle or mutilate. Fill in the box completely and erase any stray marks. Use only a #2 pencil.

Hi Lenwench Thanks for reply what must be the sequence 1. Delete secedit.sdb and then restart 2. Delete secedit.sdb , then run gpupdate /force and restart Regards Ayaz Hodaayaz
