Weird error in SBS2003

[pmf71]

I will be installing a new server at a customer's location with SBS2003 soon, and because i am new to SBS2003, i decided to setup a pilot to get accustomed to SBS2003.

Well It installed fine, updates went fine, but...

The installation is brand new from scratch, and the very first time i went into the group policies to edit one of them, i got the following error (my installation is in dutch and as so the error is in dutch, but will do my best to translate):

"the following text in section [strings] is too long and has been truncated"

followed by the text that has been truncated. every time i want to edit a GPO it gives me this error about 10 times, and after that i can edit the GPO, no problem. But it does suck that this error appears 10 times, every time.

Now i have noticed that the truncated text is the actual description of a certain GP rule, so the problem is that some of the descriptions are simply too long.

Has anybody else had this problem, and is there a simple solution to this? I am contemplating calling microsoft about this, i think it's a fundamental translation problem in the dutch version, as the installation is a brand new "standard" installation.

But any help will be appreciated.

Great, thanks a lot for that tip, i had searched in the knowledge base and used many different search words, but it came up nada everytime. And the microsoft helpdesk kindly asks you to pay 300 euro for their help, so i just saved my self a lot of cash there. Again, thank you very much.
