About every hour and a half, my Win2k Server application event log reports the following two errors

Event ID: 1000 Source Userenv
The Group Policy client-side extension Security was passed flags (17) and returned a failure status code of (5).
&
Event ID: 1202 Source Scecli
Security policies are propagated with warning. 0x5 : Access is denied.
Please look for more details in TroubleShooting section in Security Help.

I’ve tracked it down to a local group policy, it looks as though someone tried to either implement a local group policy or tighten directory security.

Using KB article 324383 and 312164 to help diagnose the event ID’s

The debug action from 324383 writes a bunch of ********************** in
%systemroot%\security\logs\winlogon.log

With no files matching
%systemroot%\security/templates/policies/gpt*.*

Without result, the next step was to start up MMC and Group Policy Editor
Navigating to the
Local computer policy
Computer configuration
Windows Settings
Security settings
Account Policies and Local Policies yield a error “Windows cannot open local policy database” error

Again searching MS Support I cam across KB 300267 about the everyone group needing full access to the %systemroot% drive, which I applied the settings

The issue continues and I’m out of “next steps”, thanks for any solutions.
 
One post I found at mentions a couple of registry entries that may need renaming or deleting. It didn't work for him, but maybe it'll work for you?

mentions another possible reason you might be getting your error.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips, neither the two tips an annoyances.org nor the tip at derkeiler.com
did the trick.
