Whenever I use gpedit.msc to view the listings, it only shows one thing, and that is under Local Computer Policy ---> Computer Config --> Admin Templates --> all i see is just one folder: windows components...the rest are not showing.

I tried to add a snap-in using mmc, but that still isn't fixing the problem.

Can anyone help me?

thanks

What policies do you wish to view?
Domain Controller
Domain
Local

The correct security policies are displayed in the Administrative Tools. And can be fully installed using the ADMIN.MSI found in the i386 folder on the 2003 CD.

If you just wish to view policies, have you tried the group policy management console, free download from MS.
