When we attempt to open or edit a domain Group Policy Object (GPO) on our DC, we receive the following error message:

The domain controller for Group Policy operations is not available. You may cancel this operation for this session or retry using one of the following domain controller choices:
The one with the Operations Master token for the PDC emulator

The one used by the Active Directory Snap-ins

Use any available domain controller

If we choose any of these options, we receive the following error message:

Failed to find a domain controller. There may be a policy that prevents you from selecting another domain controller.


This is described exactly in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 257435( ), but their solution does not solve the problem. We have a second DC that we can edit the GPOs with.
